Making The Lich King Armor for Blizzard!

[@tested]

Watch Blizzard's video featuring this costume here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap25mqJja7ypa5Y

[@Frank_144]

Nice costume, thanks!

[@gabrielraw7979]

You should make Kael'thas Sunstrider too

[@ГарикСтепанян-у4п]

Your Arthas is far too skinny and that ruin all the effect of the costume. However good one, but pls chose someone more heavy to waer it.

[@teyojin14]

How much for you to make it again and sell it to me?

[@ionutgugeanu2771]

"My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name, Steve."

[@tomitodorov4937]

Ionut Gugeanu Good one

[@blackdragons8011]

Tomi Todorov Jesus just imagine the Lich King's actuall name was "Steve" Jesus I couldn't take him serious for one second

[@FangornTiger]

Or Keith...

[@dwswarrior1338]

Lich kings actual name is Arathas.

[@MCshadr217]

@@dwswarrior1338 So here's the joke. And here's you. The joke flew right over your head.

[@Andrewlang90]

Didn't know The Lich King's name was Steve. He sounds like a nice guy.

[@buckohead5599]

XD

[@tazjam12]

Well, his full name is "The Lich King Arthas Steven Menethil, Crown Prince of Lordaeron and Knight of the Silver Hand". But, today, he just wanted to be called "Steve"... you know... just one of the guys... just hanging out at Tested.

[@terhen2280]

Yeah he is a pretty cool guy when you get to know him

[@Andrewlang90]

Jeremiah Johnson Man, that name must suck to fill out at the DMV, or read out to someone on the phone. At least he's a relaxed guy.

[@JonatasAdoM]

He's misunderstood.

[@wishiwasabear]

Did someone forgot to feed that sword? because by the looks of it *Frostmourne hungers*

[@gizanked]

Kuma Bear looks more like frostmourne vapes.

[@meusana3681]

You have not done ICC yet have you?

[@nikeyy35]

gizanked vape nation

[@StainderFin]

@kuma 4 likes more to 666! so close!

[@ghostrider3723]

"This is more like it."

[@ScalesOfBalance]

I can just picture a scooby doo episode where they unmask the Lich King and it turns out to be Blizzard employee Steve.

[@buckohead5599]

That needs to happen

[@TheAdmiral117]

or ben brode, laughing as the helm is removed off of his head

[@JonatasAdoM]

HAHAHAH

[@bellesogne]

And Steve would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.....

[@Automatomatic]

Those meddling LFR heroes!

[@Jugbot]

Waiting for that full functional DVa mech.

[@SubjektDelta]

PFFF.. Fully functional raptorion suit!

[@cc12yt]

Overtrash

[@SubjektDelta]

Trash Fortress

[@cc12yt]

Trash Fortress because it doesn't have broken hitboxes and is not full of casuals

[@SubjektDelta]

1. Open console and look at hitboxes, all fine 2. Casuals everywhere

[@MegaChickenfish]

So many great cosplays over the years, but you can't trump Blizzard at their own game. Props to all the fantastic detailing you guys did, _and to Steve and his mighty, towering physique._

[@Onex4554]

When he starts to talk at 3:42 When you hear that voice coming from that suit, it's like something straight out of Family Guy or something

[@afterwalker6773]

"Six five." Imagine if Arthas just had a normal voice like that. "Hey guys, it's me, Arthas."

[@yomommashaus]

"I'm like... succeeding you or something dad. Oh wait, brb, getting Facetimed!"

[@joelamontagnejr7290]

That was fun to see. I like the fact that Frank is all about the Team and showed some of the process involved in bringing together something as impressive as this. I'd love to see it in an elevator, smoke and all.

[@Dekipoo]

He's not buff enough. Looks more like an Arturito rather than an Arthas.

[@SoulTouchMusic93]

yeah, my thoughts exactly. the chest looks kinda flat. needs more pecs but other than that badass!

[@kiyomaru93]

he's just lack of farming, not fat enough tho

[@lylearoyii]

Shoulders don't look broad enough. Kind of a skinny LK.

[@AwesomeCopper]

More like Artrina

[@SpartanJOCK]

why dont you show us your armor creation then?

[@Darth_Zamiel]

excellent model. now ya'll need to make one for Hafthor Julius Bjornsson to wear!! (also, a Darth Malgus outfit for Brian Shaw would make for an epic duo!)

[@forgottenalex]

1:36 "and it makes these durable lightweight parts" Cosplayer: That's my cue to jiggle. Let the jiggling commence

[@chicledecafe]

My son, the day you were born the very forest of Lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas

[@Dark6Messiah]

Steve*

[@leoxu583]

Steve

[@DefWun]

That costume is awesome! Huge props (pun intended), to the crew who made that.

[@Matt-qu3pg]

Thats sick. i know somebody created the actual sword too with metal i think but this is also cool especially with it not being so heavy and the smoke emitting like frost just like in game. I always thought The Lich King was the coolest looking villain id ever seen. I legit just wanted to be on his side in WoW and never leave the starting zone as a DK

[@AxelLeJeff]

I wish they showed how they handled the eyes. I presume the eyes on the helm aren't aligned with the wearer's, as that seems to generally be the case with big costumes, but still, it'd be nice to see where everything is relative to Steve.

[@futtynucker5278]

Agreed

[@aubreyackermann8432]

I'd think he's seeing through the nose hole, and you can see his chin through the helmet in a couple shots

[@manwithacraft5990]

Beautiful work, I'm loving these latest tested videos.

[@blindfire3167]

I'm glad this came up in my recommended tab, that's badass

[@_Travey]

love how you can see how into it he is. Not into cosplaying but i appreciate the passion!

[@javidaderson]

the the Great and Powerful Lich King... Steve.

[@dimitri9262]

Absolutly awesome! One last detail is missing: the Lich King voice! ^^

[@kiyomaru93]

"Let them come... Frostmourne hungers"

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

"The Villains have the best gear!"- D.Vader

[@TaurenisTaursen]

"Father... Is it... Over?" At long last. No king rules forever steve. "I see... Only a little bit because of these LED's and fabric eye covers"

[@matimamo]

just wait some day a emo girl gonna walk op to him, and rip of he's helmet and tear it in 2 pieces

[@MaliciousCat]

Haha!

[@varentou5993]

More like 5 lol

[@dohboi75]

I've always wondered if something like this can be made on commission. Wonderful job 👍

[@BenjaminRayner]

What an awesome crew. love the results!!! thanks for sharing in this behind the scenes of the lITCH KIING suit

[@ratinthecat2]

It's funny watching Norm hold Frostmourne in a grab-able position as if he was trying to hand it off & the Lich King just stands there looking at him.

[@Xo1ot1]

You're not messing around. Amazing piece of work.

[@francisckovacs5910]

When your nerdboner is so strong that you need to almost crouch for the whole interview

[@Revegelance]

I don't play WoW, but that is a dang impressive build. Good job, guys!

[@schiltz371]

Adam Savage could never build a costume this cool!!!!

[@fernando-sl7qm]

wow this is amazing lich King was my favorite expansion from wow just on difficulty where you really need to know your shit and pay attention these guys did a great job

[@DebbieBuckland]

This looks fabulous. Here's me doing my costumes on my own and it takes me over 8months for my builds...

[@ASMR23]

This would be dope to have in your house like a suit of armor

[@randumpz7929]

Yeah, you can wear it while you wonder why you're still a virgin.

[@Swatmat]

now he just needs a choir to follow him round singing his theme

[@PrussianZwei]

Well done Tested on creating that. Looks amazing.

[@joe_mckirdy]

Look at that product placement on the right. Good job guys.

[@Antonio-gg4vv]

Can't wait till *this* movie comes out.

[@gametabulas]

15 people 5 weeks and they made this beauty! Such dedication...where can I apply!!!

[@TheVenomspit]

Well first of all, this armor costume is friggin unbeliavable! Incredible skills, indeed. But I would've loved if the eyes blinked every now and then, that little detail would bring it alive so much more, imo.

[@MasterHatred]

Very cool costume. Hopefully they do proper tear and wear for textile parts too. Now they look too neat and new. Awesome job!

[@Okayletsg0]

One day I hope to have the money and equipment to do all this, the mold making looks amazing

[@LordTrilobite]

Don't forget time.

[@LetsPlayArcanium]

Chloe doesmakeup you look very talented and artistic I bet you can get there one day (:

[@Miroz910]

So many memories just went by! Awesome build!!!

[@theegrissler3774]

Frank is the element that makes videos with Norm watchable. Great Costume Guys!!! That is Awesome!!!

[@ЮраЮра-ф2у2т]

My son, the day you were born the very forest of Lordaeron whispered the name...Adam

[@thefruitofpassion927]

Wow. When seeing the hearthstone videos, I thought the eyes were just special effects done in post. Didn't know they were actually part of the costume. Very cool.

[@Derrikbulginheadin]

I guess soon we'll be seeing Adam Savage incognito as The Lich King :D

[@alsmith1025]

That is the coolest thing every. And in 5 weeks? That's nuts!!

[@sophiejones7727]

nice job! This looked fantastic in the commercial!

[@toha1729]

*Imagine Dwajne Johnson in Arthas set*

[@Aenwyrm]

With a voice box to give him that DK echo god I'd be terrified

[@Aganie.]

Arthas isn't black tho :(

[@MrOnetedify]

@@Aganie. his Samoan

[@ninya.]

I was thinking about Hafthor Bjornsson, the mountain.

[@hollomozh7432]

OMGGGGGGGGGG

[@gordontarpley]

whooot! thanks for the shout out! :D

[@Nimbus3690]

i cant take my eyes off it, it's beyond badass

[@israelmartinez4097]

Only thing missing on that armor was the dragon scale chainmail on the arms but considering the amount of time they had to make it all they did real well.

[@Mythicalmage]

That's super sick. Can't wait for Knights of the Frozen Throne. ^.^.

[@RobertCck]

My son. The day you were born, the very forest of Lordaeron whispered the name, Arthas

[@M_SFET]

5 weeks god damn that's impressive

[@jordibuchner]

there was this guy at Elfia ( A Dutch cosplay con) who also had a suit like this. it was glorious.

[@nab-rk4ob]

It's absolutely beautiful. Excellent job.

[@i.am.adrian]

Amazing! Please bring it out to DragonCon this year!

[@TomertaFromMinecraft]

Just imagined the lich king saying:"quick help me get out of my armor! I have to pee!"

[@michaelwalsh250]

Oh my gosh. This is sooo gorgeous. I just had an idea. I would absolutely love to cosplay as the Lich King and visit kids whenever they have to go for surgeries. Just to cheer them up or help them be brave.

[@RobertBB1989]

I figured out what felt kind of off for me. The Lich King was covered by his cape a little more. It went over his upper arms and connected under the pauldrons. The costume is amazing and there's no way I can do better. It's just, it felt like something was missing and after looking at pictures I think that was it.

[@scotsduck9947]

😧 By all that is holy and the light! I so wish this could be bought in a retail environment...

[@ThomasAherne]

I always loved this armour.. Beautiful work.

[@theohdear9293]

So cool that a small indie company like blizzard could get something as famous as tested to make a suit of armor for them.

[@ukulelefatman]

More Frank and his shop please.

[@dandadamo4299]

More videos on the molding and casting? I can't wait.

[@massey81]

Making the mail riveted would make jt look even better. Great work guys

[@knightmedia1]

That is one awesome costume, amazing how heavy it 'looks' LOL. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@DaintyCanadian]

Good god that is beautiful. Well done gents.

[@jemuelmanuel2354]

the Blizzards its ganna love that you make the Lich King Armor

[@Zcypot]

Some dry ice inserts on the legs with a slow leak would be nice. Give it that look like he is frosting the ground. Would probably last like 5 mins though.

[@atcera8714]

I see the Lich King has been busy spit shining his armor and weapon instead of feeding Frostmourne

[@Lisuna0]

This was very unexpected, im super excited and i havent even seen the video yet!

[@kingklown9636]

XD Idk why but seeing this awesome beast of a creature just talk like an average joe and dancing around killed me!

[@Arpin_Lusene]

This Lich King is so chill

[@MrArchoir]

damn, that is a piece of art. Wish I could wear it sometime haha

[@0megacron]

They did a great job on the armor, but the sword looks like one of those foam LARP replicas. For a nice Frostmourne, check out the one Man-At-Arms: Reforged made.

[@tiberiuskirk2593]

They put more effort in this armor set than Blizzard has in any of their games for the past decade.

[@PorkChopXpresss]

Building cosplay armor for a living would be such an amazing job!

[@peroperic9643]

I definitely want to see a Lich on catwalk!

[@owenschwartz]

I love Tested, but one day I would love some consistently good audio.

[@muhammadfaruq976]

This is absolutely perfect! Ohmy

[@tamaskormos6843]

When you are a death knight so you can hang out witch the Lich King and you find out he is actually a cool guy.

[@TheRealChinOfKimJongUn]

I just screamed! 2 of my favorite things combined!

[@Time_Goblin]

Who is here after sylvanas destroyer the helm

[@Dadoslaw]

Yeah, Poor Steve..

[@vindico8231]

No costume rules forever.

[@Jikkozilla]

Not mee

[@Connor-lm5bd]

:(

[@jhandi5274]

She destroy it because her ear doenst fit.....

[@aworker4623]

Take my money!! I want the whole costume and sword!! :O

[@MissTopsieX]

I just want that shelf of silicone...

[@zanesmith666]

to make some giant jugs?

[@MissTopsieX]

Uh, no. Because it's expensive...creeps.

[@zanesmith666]

😂

[@RessG]

Gypsum o... k...

[@toggtlas7099]

That escalated so quickly x_x

[@FRISKY_MANDINGO]

first Tested video in like a damn year that looked interesting enough to click on.

[@CJAvls]

john papple Any video Tested makes without VR or Adam Savage in it is clickable.

[@DeinFetterVater]

just adams one day builds and this lol

[@karandex]

john papple. So true. I love adam but I haven't watched one of the video in 3 months.

[@goldenjam_0189]

john papple all videos are interesting dude

[@MrZeuscool]

and I thought they where going to make it

[@HunGerMovies]

Very nice, but guy is not bulky enough, rather looks like a lich queen or lich steve

[@Kugrox]

I mean, if you want realism, Arthas's hand is big enough to smother his own face. Seriosuly go back and look at how absolutely gargantuan his hands are. In fact, just about everyone in WoW has massive hands and or feet by comparison. WHY they chose to make hands and feet completely out of sync with everythign else i have no idea, just look at blood elf, they are the most anatomically correct to humans (more so than humans actually) and you can tell their feet are fucking huge, even the girls. there are no people that look like that lol

[@pashasghost9252]

Maybe someone at Bilizzard had a foor fetish like Miyazaki

[@HunGerMovies]

@@Kugrox Yeah, bloodelves anatomically correct to 2010's humans :D The guy from movie Sone Cold 1991 could be an almost anatomically correct Arthas, but hard to find someone like him nowdays :D

[@HunGerMovies]

@@Kugrox Btw my main concern was his small shoulders and thin body, not his hands.

[@hi_im_redbeard]

Great video guys! Interesting and well presented. Good to see you back doing some nicer stuff

This is phenomenal!

[@shrimplet5184]

Oh Mah god! Im fan of the LICH KING i want to forge an armor like that! Even the frostmourne!! and dont forget to feed the frostmourne "Frostmourne Hungers"

[@mannoroth3930]

Frostrmourne is hunger

[@mannoroth3930]

Tame him with soul

[@cornflakeshumunculus8373]

Let them come. Frostmourne hungers

[@coregeek]

Awesome job team Frank!

[@Zombiepocoly]

Are you guys going to allow other people to have casts of the armor and files of frostmourne? I would love to have that helm and sword combo, you guys did an amazing job.

[@luaneseniv]

Respect your work!

[@TheRealEvades]

pretty damn amazing. It needs gilding creme in many areas on the armor and sword though to make it 100% realistic looking. the correct gilding creme can make nearly everything look better :)

[@revtmyers1]

Okay that is an awesome costume. Great job.
