You lovely ladies helped me craft my Halloween costume.

Now I want to go as Orion, next year. The archer, constellation. An interpretation I have not fully conceptualized. What I do know is I'd like to make a leather "kilt/skirt" that you would imagine a Greek/Roman soldier/archer would wear.

Any thoughts or projects you've seen done well?

look up Utilikilt. They have leather kilts I think. You can buy one or base one off of it.

I haven't seen a Orion cosplay but have some reference pics instead, lovely gentleman. Hope these may be useful.

That's some great inspiration right there. They seem to preach the difficulty of construction, maybe, to justify their prices. Thanks.

Thanks for these. I wanted to go with a less of a tunic and more of something cloth and leather like >pic related

Nonetheless it did remind me I can look at art for some inspirational ideas.

If anyone could share some interesting or authentic looking gladiator/archer cosplays I'd much appreciate it.

I'll be bumping with a story about getting my split ends trimmed

I awoke to a nervous sobbing. I looked into the mirror.. I hardly recognized myself, I didn't look like a transient anymore. I looked like a trust funder.

Then an idea struck me. "Quick, Aniceto grab me a ruler!"

"14 and a half inches," I gaily proclaimed, "'Tis more than enough."

I didn't need all that hair. But perhaps a little girl with cancer did. Wigs for Kids and I made it happen for her to get a wig at no cost to her or her family, unlike other organizations.

If you are cutting your hair dramatically for a cosplay consider donating it to this worthwhile cause. I had a smug smile of self-satisfaction for a week.

Took me two years from a high and tight buzz cut.

You'll be nervous to cut it. (I know I was. I had grown attached to my hair.) It is a great feeling to send it off though. Good luck!!

Well, it will be a tough one OP. But you can pull it off. The first step: LIFT SOME FUCKING WEIGHTS. How do you expect to truly resemble a Greek/Roman warrior with /that/ body? Apply yourself.

A cool idea would be to incorporate the actual constellation into your costume, say, on the shield, perhaps? Your outfit could be entirely stylized, which would look freakin' awesome. I'll draft you up a couple of designs if you'd like.
