Parzival costume thread. Ready Player One

Hi. Thanks for the mention. kevinericon will likely be releasing the keys. I gave him my Copper Key STL file, as I can't mass produce in Copper cast keys. And he will likely be also offering the Jade key. He mentioned to me he would try using the same stone as his Tomb Raider amulet. I think that'll be perfect.
I may be jumping the gun by mentioning him, but I'm excited about the keys he'll be offering. :)


What about the Crystal Key?

I went so far as to buy a chunk of thick glass with the idea of using a dremel on it. I also did basic research on companies that might make it from crystal. I didn't get very far on that route. He did mention that he had an idea on doing the crystal key, but he's doing the first 2 first.
 
I found a few facial make-up tests. The 2nd picture is my favorite, personally out of all of them. What do you all think?

Okay, so I'm about to post a game changer for you all, I hope you all really appreciate this...let me fee the love...if you do appreciate it...

These photos where taken from the "Art of Ready Player One book", you can get purchase it on amazon for $28.46.

Let me know if you need better quality, I took these photos with my cell phone, I can take with my hd camera or scan if needed.

Also there is a lot more stuff in the book, but I figured I would keep it relevant to the Perzival Avatar.

Dude you rock!!!
Could you scan/photograph the double page spread of Parzival's legs and the page connected. Those pants and shoes have been an absolute P in the A for me
 
Hey The Searcher good find on the vest but keep in mind it has front zip pockets too.

I may just go with a Levi’s vest. Easy to find and with a few mods can be quite accurate. But...

does anyone have ideas one how to put Excalibur on the back? Especially with that nice glossy/shiny finish.

You’re right about the zip pockets: I thought about mentioning them earlier, but got caught up with other stuff. I did find a video from back in February where an attempt was made to put the Excalibur on the back of the vest:
I know the one in the film was more raised, but this is all I got.

Well I guess you can gold leaf fabric (didn’t know that was a thing) for Excalibur on the back.

I may try try a few different methods (gold leaf, paint, paint pens) on scraps to see what gives the best results

I don't think gold leaf on fabric is a good idea. I think it would rub off or be scratched off too easily. The video above is using cut vinyl which still has the same issue but with the advantage of lasting longer
 
Very cool. I was wondering how much stitching would should on a fabric like that. It really doesn’t take away from the effect.

Excellent work :thumbsup
 
I finally got my wig, from China, took a little while to get here. Notice the blue in the front by the bangs. Most the wigs they sell do not have the blue close to the roots by the bangs. This is the most screen accurate that I could find.

I also got my coin in the mail, it's a lot bigger coin than expected. I'm trying to work on a way to put the "extra life" on the back of a 1981 quarter. I know they sell the "extra life" side on shapeways for $10, I might go with that option. Or I might try to get on the run that kevinericon is making if there still available. Any ideas or advise would be appreciated.
