magepalko Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 NEW PICS! new pics of my armor have surfaced! including a showing of my mage skills with a nacho... Ignore the tan and tell me how good you think my costume from connecticon was... if you want to make any part of it (the godsword or the slayer cape) i can post material sheets and sizing info here it was a great costume to wear, met tons of rs fans... lots of rs fangirls took some innapropriate pics with the godsword... the only downside is that the armor degraded faster than pvp gear on a noob and the pauldron alone weighed about 30lbs... (yes that is sandeep parikh from the guild giving me a WOW beating) (New mage cape emote... FLOATING NACHO!) Rogue Palko... Quest Cape since 2006... Player since 2001....

Shiny Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Do you get bullied at school? No, I kid, I kid. I like it, as far as I really am concerned about RS. Glad to see people put heaps of effort into crafting things. Now put it into something practical and make $$$. And Felix, you wish for sexy godsword pics.

magepalko Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 This was made for an anime convention... my next project is dragon full armor! I actually forge in real life and sold a set of actual dragon plate armor to a private collector of gaming armors for very little profit ( i bought a car, a phone, and a laptop ) hahahah yes, my friend nikki and i constantly cosplay our respective favorite mmo's and we both fight tooth and nail to make the best costume... She did the Necromance Gear... last time i belive she did some sort of rouge... regarding the naughty pics... i'll leave those to your mind... i would get permabanned for those pics lol... there was another RS cosplayer there as a matter of fact! he had a ranged cape! and has one in the game as well... i guess i have 99 crafting and 99 smithing irl... i do make things for comissions... i've done quite a few live steel game armors... all of them take forever and alot of them are for people with crazy money and a love for games...

magepalko Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've made both Halo Spartan armor and Hayabusa armor for collectors... took forever but i made them... i might be able to dig up a photo or two... i wear the slayer cape all the time... i added the secons "flap" to the other shoulder after i retired the armor and i wear it all the time! expecially when i'm fighting the KQ hahahah me too... the problem with these cons is no one post pics... no matter how many buiness cards you give out... i liked the desert mask... also you have to wear it for three days all day... so the slayer helm looked cool but the mask was more practical in 90% humidity... btw... i do not envy the runescape avatars that wear bandos armor... it is very... very... heavy...

Toad Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I can't make anything with my hands me, nice creativity for that, maybe look into going into costume design if you're passionate about it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magepalko Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 depending on the elaborateness of the armor $500-$5000 (steel ingots, leather, logs for my forge, labor, hot pockets*) costume design is cool but i was hoping to start a restraunt and maybe a chain of costume/ cosplay supply stores... *little known fact, hot pockets cook perfect on top of a 2,000 degree forge....

magepalko Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 skillcapes on the other hand go for about $50-$100 depending on materials and quality desired (i often charge $99.99 as a joke) i make them out of very nice materials i get from an online supplier and use foam for the shoulder flairs (they flop, which is epic) i do make fiberglass armor as well but that requires far more measurement and "live fitting" meaning you need to be there... that usually runs around $300-$1000 for a set (my bandos cost me $200 but was rushed, but i have plenty of time to make my dragon plate armor...)

magepalko Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 if you can name it i can probably make it... i do make alot of rs stuff for friends and collectors, but i do traditional armor sets as well... as well as my personal "sleek" knight sets which alot of pro tournament fighters like to use for anything from paintball and airsoft to actual sword fighting... real godswords i have made (ugh and armadyl too... i like bandos lol) they weigh alot... very alot... like 40 lbs easy alot... and the one i am holding is not to scale... it's smaller than a fullscale... and if you want something awesome to fight with... dual dragon scimmies... epic speed....

JoeDaStudd Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm sorry but the pics made me laugh for about 2 minutes solid. Then I saw the profit margins........ You seriously sell them for that much? If only I knew people willing to pay those prices :| Nice work on the business, but I still think anyone willing to buy and/or wear it has something wrong in the head.

magepalko Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 actually joe you may have misread... what i made was a costume... no metal allowed... plus i was working on 3 costumes and an armor set while i was working on my own... you can't have any live steel at convention and my costume was rushed... the costumes i make are of far better quality and most of what i was talking about was ACTUAL steel armor that i cast and hammer myself... though some of the upper end costumes i make do cost a bit depending on elaborateness...

Thorstian Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 That is really creative! And if I dare say so, inspiring. It's nice to see people link Runescape and real life together, especially when you have such a skill behind crafting and forging. If you make another costume for such an occasion I do hope you will post pictures of it :D Great work magepalko.
