Arlen Training Cosplay

Time grows short to enter the Cosplay Contest, with entries due this coming Monday, August 1. Competition is fierce already, and I have heard rumblings of more awesomeness to come.

But no one has done more than the fantastic Birte in Germany, who in her first entry dressed as Leesha, Rojer, and Renna. Now, for her second entry, she has done an AMAZING young Arlen:

Hello Peat,

I decided to enter a second time. It’s just too much fun to miss out. This time I really WILL keep it short!

These are picures of me dressed up as young Arlen in Miln, at the age between 13 and 15. The pictures show him during his fight training in Ragen’s yard. He trains with a sword (the one in the picture is a japanese training sword), a staff and the fight without weapons. Unfortunately I don’t own a spear.

The pictures with the dog show Arlen in a short break in the training. I took these because it shows him in a rather peaceful state compared to his concentrated and (on the outside) darker self.

I used my knowledge of martial arts to make these photos as real as possible. They show pieces of ninjitsu, kung fu and tae kwon do along with my own ideas of what might look good on a photo.

I hope you like them!

regards

Birte

PS: Peat, I had a new idea about the ward music I’m writing. I won’t tell you now exactly what that idea is, but I promise, when I have them finished, it’s gonna be really great!!!

  3. Thanks!
    I made the tunic a few years ago. Use it for this kind of stuff.
