I know it's a little early to be thinking about your '25 #costume, but Happy #Halloween everyone! Be sure to send this to someone who needs an early reminder 🤣 #BanesArmory #DIY #Crafters #procrastination

I know a lot is going on, take this little bit of #LEGO happiness for the road. Made a set of LEGO #Earrings for my partner (her design idea). Sometimes the sweetest joy comes from #creating something simple. #BanesArmory #jewlry #Handmade #unique

I don't think I shared this yet... IDK I'm a mess 😅 The idea was basically a #motioncapture tool for making manual style illustrations. Solid idea, but I think pinning to a backboard makes it fairly unuseable - would 100% work if the doll was a self-contained unit though!

A #ColdSteel #Training #Spear decorated up for a @FaireYoungHeroes #prop at #Faire! Though good for practice, the rubber ball looks pretty cheesy, but I'm really happy with the 'cleanup' and paint job! #BanesArmory #LARPing #DungeonsAndDragons #PropWeapon

Played with the #LaserPecker #LaserEngraver a bit more! This time a #leather #medallion for the #fake #FrogCult my #Belegarth #Realm accidentally started a few years back at #BattleForTheRing. Having a lot of fun with this little 'toy' #BanesArmory #LARPing #DigitalArt #Costume #Silly #Frog

Made a Beast Wardens House badge for the faction in #FaireYoungHeroes ! #Art by me, #laser burnt into #leather with a #LaserPecker #LaserEngraver that @katsinatra.art got us to play with! Such an amazing tool, I'm excited to see what we can make! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #Costume #LeatherWork

#UltraFlat #Boffers made for use at @FaireYoungHeroes for @yuletide_medieval_festival the last 2 weekends! Should be ready to batch-make just in time for #BiFTeR (#BattleForTheRing 2025)! #BanesArmory #FaireYoungHeroes #LARPing #LARP #LARPweapon #Belegarth #amtgard #FoamBattle

We have started my latest venture in #LARPing #Entertainment: @FaireYoungHeroes! We just concluded our 3rd weekend ever with the wonderful Yuletide Medieval Festival and had the most magical amazing time! We plan to attend locall #Faire and private events! #BanesArmory #Medieval #Costume

Find us this weekend at the #YuletideMedievalFestival in Lakeside California! We will be operating the #FaireYoungHeroes Guild! Test your skill with the blade, or your aim with the crossbow! Rated for "children of ages" and "adults sober or otherwise"! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #Medieval

Did you know I also make #Stories as part of #TorchlitTavern? I want everyone to join us, but also to thank everyone who has been part of this journey. From start, to wherever we end. youtu.be/SMiJOfcGksU?... #BanesArmory #DungeonsAndDragons #podcast #dnd5e #DnD #druid #shifter #TellGoodStories

My #Satyr #Costume from pver a #decade ago at the #LabyrinthMasquerade. Standing massively above the crown in 9" platform stilts with another 4" heel raise was a really amazing experience! #Fantasy #DIY #Stilts #Digitigrade

Some very old #art depicting the scene at the end of a big #StoryArc in the #fantasy #LARPGame #LostToTheAether. This event brought the #players (and #GameWorld) where it is today!

Old Character art for the Ghal Uth (Goliath) race in the #LARPGame #LostToTheAether I run. Their defining traits is their grey skin, philosophical culture and 4 arms.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,386,507!

Today a #Video! Not so much a #tutorial on the actual #crafting, but rather a #walkthrough of a #DIY #leather #project #design. Hope this is helpful for someone! #BanesArmory #LeatherWork #BeltPouch #Medieval #Costume www.instagram.com/reel/C8hvTa-...

A #DigitalArt #Sketch of a #SunWorship #NPC group for my #LARP #LostToTheAether. Designed to be a #Gambeson with an emblazoned #mantle - I still want to #sew this one day! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LarpCostume

New ep commin next week! www.instagram.com/reel/C8KbRNZ... #BanesArmory #TorchlitTavern #DnD #podcast #DungeonsAndDragons

Another quick #DigitalArt post today - this time the #concept #designs between #TorchlitTavern #campaign 1 and 2 #logos. If you like #podcast and or #DungeonsAndDragons you should listen to our #BlackPowder story arc, I'm told its good! #BanesArmory #DnD #DnDPodcast #RealPlay

No #videos on #BlueSky I guess? www.instagram.com/reel/C8GjBlc... A #TimeLapse of #DigitalArt for the #2020 #TorchlitTavern #podcast #holiday episode! I thought the progression of layers would be cool for some of you #artists out there! #BanesArmory #DungeonsAndDragons #Christmas #Solsthmas

Another pull from the old #LabyrinthMasquerade #CostumeDesign! Not accurate to any culture, but inspired by the beautiful designs of #PreColonial #MesoAmerica with some #fantasy add-ons. #BanesArmory #digitalart #concept #Costume

Another #Inspired piece that lurks in the depths of the #BanesArmory product cache! Inspired by #Priestess outfits in various #JRPG #Anime etc. But not actually based on any specific region. #LARP #LarpCostume #CostumeDesign #Womens

Spent the weekend in the #forest with some friends, and got some #flower #photos. Originally to be a #LARPGame but life had other plans so we just hung out, had a #campfire & played #games like #MagicTheGathering. #BanesArmory #Unrelated #Nature

Today a #DIY #PVCBow form! Made from 2 specially cut pieces of wood and a hinge all you do is heat half the #PVC stave, insert and clamp closed to cool. Repeat then use end #molds to press where the string sets. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #Archery #LARPBow #LARPWeapon

#Legend has it this #dress still lurks in the depths of the #BanesArmory product totes! Made as a one-size-fits-most piece inspired by #hitsoric box dresses, but fashioned as a single piece for easy washing & wearing. #CostumeDesign #Costume #Sewing #Medieaval #Fashion

A #Roman #Legionaire inspired #Scutum for a primary #antagonist faction in my #LARPGame #LostToTheAether. #Custom made with 2-ply curved wood cores, canvas covered & painted. Not the most comfortable #Shields but #Iconic and effective! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LARPProps

A simple #Machete #LARPweapon made for #DystopiaRising. I love how the detail worked just by cutting most the pattern off the #FloorMat and leaving it in the grip. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LARPProps #Apocalypse

Realm #Tournament #BeltFlags for #TheCursedBattalion! #Felt #applique over a #canvas base these are a fairly inexpensive way to make displayable trophies! #BanesArmory #LARPing #Belegarth

More #characterart today! Some #digitalart of a #dwarven #smith I made some years ago! Not much to say, but I'm really happy with the #CostumeDesign of the composition. #BanesArmory #Fantasy #LARP #Tolkien #DungeonsAndDragons

An old #DystopiaRising #commission #LARPWeapon inspired by a #TomCruise movie. Designed 'accurate to life' - I believe modeled and shaped off the #apache #Helicopter tail #rotor. Changes were made but the prop profile is modeled correctly! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LARPProps

A #SetPiece #Design for the #LabyrinthMasquerade #elves as a #magic #channeling #Lodestone. This piece didn't make it to build, but I still love the design. #BanesArmory #digitalart #obelisk

Went to #LEGOLand today for the #Goblin #birthday & built this #BiblicallyAccurate #Angel ine one of the little #LEGO #build rooms. Really #happy with this #MicroBuild, & using the #FireBlocks to #levitate it above the #lava! #BanesArmory #Unrelated #FamilyMemories #DIY

Took the #Goblin to #LegoLand today for their #birthday! I got a #SpecialRequest: "#Daddy, make me a #lego #Dinosaur!". Takes me back to making #Duplo #Dinos in year 2. #tyranasaurus for breakfast, #Pteranadon for dinner. #BanesArmory #LegoBuild #FamilyMemories

Another past #LabyrinthMasquerade #prop! Made for #LordSypher himself this was designed as a piece for the show's #DeepElf analog. Sculpted from styrene #Foam like #knapped #obsidian with a multicolor kaleidoscopic light inside. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #StageProp #Setpiece

An extra #SneakPeak at what's commin up! #BanesArmory #NoContext

More #CostumeDesign, more from old #LabyrinthMasquerade works! This was designed as a commission for a #rugged #PlagueDoctor outfit with a #LeatherMask for a friend. #BanesArmory #digitalart #concept #costume #canvas

#BlueSky number 2! An older #LabyrinthMasquerade #CostumeDesign I never got around to. Hope I get back to this one some day, but for now enjoy this #digitalart #concept. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LarpCostume

Extra post today just for #Bluesky! Not quite #BadArt today, but some #CharacterArt of mt current #DnD #DnD #character "Halor"(Adéru) for the #podcast #TorchlitTavern! The #art itself is about a year old now I think, so its probably time to update... #BanesArmory #digitalart #dungeonsanddragons

Some more #CharacterArt of an old #DnD #Character. A #HalfElf known to the party only as #Summoner on a journey of exploration into the world outside the Tundra Citadel his monastic society calls home. #BanesArmory #digitalart #DungeonsAndDragons

This is aMarker for #DystopiaRising Socal. The #NPC Marshal would wear this flag to notify players the module included water effects. The game wanted to run some water stuff in summer, but didnt want to blast people without notice. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LARPProps

Some #BadArt I made between turns at an #DnD game! Originally a #5e #tiefling this morphed into "generic #Viking" that I put in Low effort instances. Named Elym, I've been tormenting my players with him since! #BanesArmory #digitalart #characterart #DungeonsAndDragons

Found it! Here is the #LabyrinthMasquerade #Mask previewed a few days ago. Wet formed #leather, the details are drawn on with #sharpie then dyed with #WoodStain which had a really cool effect! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #Costume #DIY

Today how I made the #spine for my #foam #Bone #Cleaver #LARPweapon made out of 'scraps'. Make shallow cuts around the #PoolNoodle where the segments end then hit it with a heat gun. Then hit the middle and you get a really cool effect! #BanesArmory #LARPing #LARP #LARPProps #LARPDIY #foam

An old #LabyrinthMasquerade costume! The mask is #leather #painted with #sharpie & #WoodStain, which gave a very cool contrast finish. The Cane is a plastic xmas orb painted white inside & a fairy light string #Bamboo stave. #BanesArmory #LARPing #LarpCostume #LeatherMask
