Hidetaka Miyazaki's Dark Souls is one of the most difficult games for masochists. Artistically speaking, this series has a prominent dark aesthetic, which is different from the gothic style of blood. Recently, some players spent 9 months to make the armor of the black knight in the game, which is a very wonderful COS work, let's take a look.
Player Damagedcosplays completed the rig and once brought it to the Austrian anime convention YuniCon, where the author recently posted a screenshot to the reddit forum.
In addition to the wooden frame shield, EVA foam is mainly used to simulate the texture of metal. The details of the armor are well done, including the pattern on the breastplate, the red blood on the axe, the wear and tear on the edges of the shield, etc.
The Black Knight is a famous mob in Dark Souls, known as the Newcomer Killer. They possess a black metal armor, tall and burly, formerly known as the Silver Knight, who accompanied King Gwen on the expedition to Chaos, and the Fire of Chaos burned the Silver Knight's armor black, and the armor was also burned out of the shape of the tip by the flames and heat, forming demon-like tentacles. The black knights' weapons were left with blood, which was evidence of the slaughter of the demons, and they themselves suffered heavy casualties, the rest scattered in Rhodeland, and the rest were sent to the initial furnace to guard King Gwen to burn themselves.
All the COS works made by yourself are worth encouraging, not to mention spending 9 months, hoping that more wonderful Dark Soul works will be born.
