The Idge Project (part 3) + on going solo

Say hello to Idge Imbrulia...

...her armor I mean.

Neat, huh? I tried putting it on last night and it's quite ok...I'll just have to adjust a few parts of the leg armor and the elbow guard as well. I just realized that I won't be able to flex my arms while wearing the elbow guard because it's made of rubber. But generally speaking, the costume's really good. I just feel kinda silly in front of the mirror while wearing it.

The boots will be done 2 weeks from now. By then it would be the dreaded week of the launch party, but I do hope I can organize a small pictorial of sorts with my friend who's going as Brunie Etienne on the event as well. I just hope this little plan materializes given the time constraints on our part. Hopefully I can post pictures of me wearing the Idge armor...decent ones I mean. Hehe.

Yesterday, I asked to be booted out of CARNAGE for the meantime in order to visit other factions and feature them on the GE PH website. It feels kinda odd walking along the cities without the usual noisy ramblings in the faction chat.

And while I'm waiting for the invite to move to my next domicile, going solo has never been so quiet and lonely. I'm already looking forward to the next batch of people I'll be interviewing and I'm pretty sure it's going to be fun there as well.

The Idge Project (part 2) + Baron item at last!

Finally, it's here! My Idge costume is 90% done...I only need the boots and then I'm off to war!

I just got the goods last night, but I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures on the finalized suit. All I can say though is that it rocks my socks! And the Castor Sword is just huuuuuuuge. I still can't believe I was able to stuff that uber long sword inside a cab!


As you can see, the swords' length goes beyond the height of my bedroom window. It's even taller than I am! But like all Great Swords, I cannot do away with shortening the length because that's just what they are—ladifarkingda huge ass swords.

It's made of light wood by the way. I still feel uneasy holding it, much less swinging it to my back because I might accidentally whack someone. Nevertheless, I'm not going to wear it on my back coz I might trip over and break my neck.

What I did manage to take pictures of were some of the accessories.


My Idge hat fits nicely, as with the elbow guards for the suit. The gloves though, are made of soft leather, and my palms get all sweaty with the unbreathable cloth. But as cosplayers would say...magtiis ka (bear with it)!. LOL.

I might probably take pictures of the suit when I get home. Stay tuned!

Just this morning, I took a quick visit to the Mansion Reception Hall to hunt for bots because I wasn't able to get the free gravestone from Mr. Johnny (as what Arcleaumont just informed me). Lookee what I got!

'Gratz to Welling for being the first-ever GE blogger to be blogspotted by Mistress Hrin!!!

the idge project (part 1)

W00t! I just got home fresh from the Colony Wars event a while ago. I just went and made my life more difficult by covering not just one, but two CW happenings in Cervantes and Caravaggio servers, specifically for CARNAGE and PasawayProphecy factions respectively. But since I'm already digressing, I'll talk about that in tomorrow's post.

Anyway, I've been feeling quite giddy over the prospect of an Idge Imbrulia cosplay. Not too many people appreciate this particular RNPC, so I've decided to immortalize my fandom of the Illier blacksmith by cosplaying as her on the upcoming GE PH Commercial Launch Party on September 15.

This is the Idge version I'll be wearing, complete with the huge ass Castor sword.

And here are just but a few developments of the costume:

Idge's breastplate and..uhh..a wrench XD.

We all know Idge looks kinda boyish in her getup, but her armor does flatter her nice figure. The breastplate for one, hugs her top frame. I'm particularly happy with the actual turnout of this, considering that the paint applied on the rubber foam made it look like an old piece of metal. The engravings on the armor are actually strips of rubber foam and glue gun painted in silver.

The tools of the trade.

And this one shows Idge's essential tools for enhancing items: the hammer, chisel, and a nifty wrench. Again, this stuff's made of just rubber, but the effect's as good as metal. I've assembled them to look like the ones in the picture.

The striped pants of doom.

I hope I don't look stupid wearing these pants.

I'll be updating this blog with more info on the Idge Project™ as it progresses. Meanwhile, I really ought to hit the sack.
