Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Suit

SHOOP-DA-WHOOP! Thanks Robo! I found an insane image of the front on IGN's page. I need to learn to stop Googleing. It gets me nothing 9 times out of 10 most of the time.
Here's the pic I found, If only we could get a back shot at the same angle, we'd be set for refs and someone could make the patterns.

Ezio Suit Ref

looks like he's going old school. like, Altair old school.

looks like existing hood patterns will work, mine turned out very well in that respect - I can see if I can find the patterns I made and scan them.

Probably start mine a little closer to october.
I don't know that I can post full patterns of the rest of it, but when I get started I can surely take a lot of pictures.

looks alot closer to Altair dont you think?

Also notice that the divisions on the hood, most notably the beak, multiply with each incarnation. Altair having two, Ezio having three, and Brotherhood Ezio having 4.

hmmm... I'm on the fence about the new design. I mean, yeah, it's got a great classical look that calls back to Altair really nicely, but the AC2 costumes have so much character to them.

However, that new one is going to make an amazing costume to wear. I love the vambraces. I guess the new costume really symbolizes that his old life is 100% gone now, and he's now the embodiment of the Assassins.

Shade, I can't wait to see how your costume and Robo's costumes turn out. I'm slightly regretting having already dropped cash for my Iron Man Suitcase Suit build, or I'd be working on one of these along side you bunch. Next year, I guess.

Hey thanks! I hope someone can draw up some patterns for this. I would ask robo, but he's already preoccupied with his Master Assassin Suit AND Iron Man Suit. I hope I'll at least have my whole Iron Man Suit pepped before I start on this and unfortunately, this suit is a ways off. I need to wait until myself, and hopefully some of the community too, can get enough references to draw up patterns for the suit. Though, I may work on the vambraces in the time being since they don't look too hard. My friend PrinceNEO has an idea of how to do a blade so if I can get together a vambrace, I might be able to have a set of dual hidden blades. Minus the blade engraving. That may be a bit more than I can handle for the time being. Anyway, thanks again for the subscription!

Hopefully you can wristblade-it-up.


Scissor style


DA-OTF style

yea ive got a plan for altair's blade using a DA OTF design for 2 of the 4 sections of the blade, but unless you can fab it up super super thin, it may not be feasible.

see:

hope this helps duder.

Without a doubt! These will definitely help. Some kinda look blurry. Did you get them from a video?
Anyway, if I knew how to use Blender (I'm now considering learning how) I'd try to model the vambraces. They're exactly the same on either side. Even the eagles head on the top faces the same direction. These should be enough for a fairly accurate Vambrace and hopefully enough to begin fabricating some patterns. As for the hood, I suppose I could use the original design from ACII, but alterations will need to be made to the patterning. All in all, I didn't think I'd get so many references this fast. Thanks to anyone who contributed references. I'm gonna need to get into modeling so I can get an idea of how to make patterns for that Vambrace. It has more detail than I thought. I may consider pepakura for the vambraces if I can find no alternative.

yeah, sorry about the blurriness, they were all grabbed from the standard definition online video. I grabbed the least blurry frames I could. Hopefully a HiDef version is available soon/somewhere, and downloadable so that the frames can be taken with max sharpness.

Good luck shade, i look forward to some awesome updates!

Hope these would help...

Yeah definitely Ramiel. If anyone could get a better shot of the side and back of one of the vambraces, I'd be set to work on those. I need to get modeling experiece so I gotta download Blender ans get to work learnin hot to use it. I think we might have enough reference pictures for the suit, but I don't know. I need to find out if someone can do patterns. Lemme try this...
Can anyone come up with patterns for Ezio's new suit?

Yeah, that should just about do it.

well...i mean i could try and work on the pattern for this at the same time as i do the pattern for my master assassin ezio.....because once i finish modeling iron man (which should be soon hopefully) i'll be full speed on ezio....

That'd be great if you're alright with it. I plan on modeling the vambraces myself so you wouldn't need to worry about those, I just didn't ask you because I know you're swamped with finishing Ironman designs and working on patterns for your Master Assassin build. To add onto that, you're building both as well.

its only a maybe at this stage, until i work out how hard it'll be to make the patterns for my suit....

Shade, are you planning on sewing this once you have your patterns? Or were you planning on taking it to a seamstress/tailor?

I'm just going to throw out there it might be worth it to take a shot at drafting your own pattern, if you are. Drafting patterns helps with your overall sewing ability, just throwing it out there

Yeah, definitely planning on sewing it myself and hoping to learn to use a sewing machine to speed the whole operation up. I still don't have patterns, waiting on robo for that, (BTW if you're reading this robo, sorry for puttin this on you) but once I do I'll be gettin some fabric and gettin started.

Dude, learn a sewing machine now. Also: Learn how to hand sew and know when it is appropriate to hand sew.

learn fabric types for suiting, what kind of interfacing you'll need, types of stitches, hems, seams...

Get an understanding of not only how to use a sewing machine, but how to do the threading and changing parts on a sewing machine, what kind of sewing needles are good for different kinds of fabrics, and the REASONS for all of this.

The Ezio costume is incredibly complex, someone who knows how to sew doesn't need a pattern to be able to just look and tell you that. I don't mean to scare you, but for this to be your first sewing project is way-over-reaching.


How about this.
Make a button down shirt... go to the fabric store, pick your fabric, pick your pattern, pick your interfacing, your thread etc. Buy a book on sewing basics, and if you don't have a machine to use... find one.

And let me be clear: This costume, as we see it in the pictures above is ABSOLUTELY obtainable. But personally, If you want it to look anything like that you have GOT to practice on a smaller project first. AT LEAST so you can grasp the concepts of sewing, and the gravity of the project you're about to undertake.
BTW, going to a fabric store will also help you get an idea of the price-tag for this thing.

I'm no fool. Trust me when I say, I know this ain't gonna be no walk in the park. Thanks for the advice. I need to get my hands on a sewing machine that works. Wish my family still talked to my grandmother. She had one and she was a pro at using it.... Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. I think Prince NEO has a mini one. Should work practice at the very least. Thanks again.

this might sound like a really dumb question but is the robe in brotherhood like the one in blood lines (the psp one) - if so i can get screens from my psp for ya

No. Bloodlines is still the story of Altair Ibn La Ahad (Yeah, I actually remember his full name, I didn't look it up.) Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood are the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze (believe it or not Firefox is telling me every work of Ezio's name is misspelled in some way but that's how it's spelled. Yet nothing is wrong with Altair's. Hmm) so even though Ezio sort of emulates Altair with his new suit, it is not the same one.
