How I research for fantasy cosplay

[@juliabreckner2759]

Historical fantasy research is the best kind of research

[@Cxizent]

It lets me do research, without having to use the research if I don't want

[@jackiejames4551]

I truly enjoyed this video. It was a great way to take a break from canning, and yet still be doing something "important".

[@Cxizent]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad that it felt important - I think that it is but it's always nice to hear other people say so

[@bookhoarding]

Wait, I can just call my UFO bin the "timeout bin"?!!?

[@Cxizent]

Properly titling the bin is half the battle

[@DEMIPINTEcreations]

Isn't it annoying though when the game story and side quests get in the way of the research 😉🙃

[@Cxizent]

"Yeah I'll just fire up the game for a few quick screenshots... oh well I guess I can do one contract..."

[@FayeSterling]

Ah....the naughty bin....I definitely don't have a star wars cosplay in there..... Seriously what a great look into how your own standards helps to influence your research process though, and I bet it must be nice to have the soundtrack in the background!

[@Cxizent]

The naughty bin is a non-euclidean object; there's always spare room in it for more. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kobble03]

this video was such a mood, and I love it. great tips!

[@Cxizent]

Thanks! Glad that I'm not the only one who thinks like this lol

[@archaeard5232]

Your progress on the manticore set is beyond immaculate and very satisfying, I luv the vids🔥.. I’ve been thinking about legendary manticore armor

[@Cxizent]

Thanks for the very kind words! I love the legendary Manticore armour because the gauntlets are much more closely based on real historical splinted arm cannons, but I'm not sold on the little jerkin sleeves lol. If you decide to give it a go, I'd love to see!

[@GreenMartha]

"knuckles-filled tentacles" XD

[@Cxizent]

There really needs to be a more convenient word for them 🤔 lol

[@augustwogsland3309]

There are a ton of historical clothing projects floating around in my brain, Tudor era, specifically, that I would love to do, but they just have not made it up onto the actual, real-life to-do list yet. Part of the reason being just how MUCH research goes into just making, like, a shirt. It was super awesome and kinda encouraging to see your process though. Maybe once I finish my current outside gardening projects, I'll try to tackle some of the historical projects I've been stewing on.

[@Cxizent]

The great thing about historical outfits is that there's no such thing as "historically accurate" so you can just do your own thing and make it in a way that's fun for you. Because really, if we're not enjoying making the things we do, what even is the point?

[@DarkestWine]

God, this is the exact content i crave

[@Cxizent]

God, this is the exact positive reinforcement I crave

[@ireneschaffer5507]

Hell yeah, talking head Grant!

[@ireneschaffer5507]

Also I both appreciate and hate all the different things you called your hands, congrats. 🤣

[@Cxizent]

Gotta give the people what they want, and the people want my head talking about breadhooks, as it turns out :P thanks!

[@BillyTheClipp]

Great video as always my golden nugget XD And, Your arms as big as Geralt's, don't lie to me mister!

[@Cxizent]

Oh stop it, you

[@canucknancy4257]

HA (historically almost) modern fantasy cosplay construction. I can get behind that. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Take care.

[@Cxizent]

Instead of Historically Accurate, it's just Fantastically Accurate 😌

[@canucknancy4257]

@@Cxizent That's perfect!

[@MuseAndDionysus]

This video was funny af! Also I learned how to cosplay a little bit better

[@Cxizent]

Glad you liked it! It still feels weird to me doing "instructional" videos so I'm glad you got something out of it
