HELP WANTED: WOLF HELM

Postby Buliwyf » Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:26 am

ive tried and failed at making my own so i figured id see if someone else can help me. My theme is that of a Viking but i dont wish for the usual horned helm. instead im looking for a wolf helm. In which the wolfs mouth is opened and my face would be there. Im a semi new guy in this stuff. ive fought mainly in the midwest region but come next fall im heading to a large event west coast with that i wish to make an impression on fighting and armor to represent my clan. so if anyone is will please reply.
Please and Thank You

Lo there do I see my father.
Lo there do I see my mother.
Lo there do I see my brothers and my sisters.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
Lo they do call to me;
they bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
where the brave may live forever."

Talk to Forkbeard, he's the bomb. Great Armor at reasonable prices.

Pretty much that.

Also, you could attempt to summon Sieglatan. He has experience doing that kind of stuff, but is sorta scarce on the boards recently.

Can personally speak for the quality of equipment from both Forkbeard on these boards -and- Burke (http://www.facebook.com/#!/BurkesBulwarks).

hey man. I can make whatever you want.
But, Vikings did not have horns on their helms. Ever. Not once.
Vikings certainly never would have worn a huge wolf head helm.
A viking WOULD wear a viking helm covered in wolf themed knotwork and perhaps a stylized though small wolf head crest on top.
I'm currently making 2 wolf head helms in which the wearer looks through the wolfs eyes and the face is a flip up visor.
I could make the helm you describe, where you look out of the wolfs mouth, should you decide it is what you really want. If you could provide me with some pictures of what you have in mind, I can give you an exact price.
If you want the hounds helm from GoT, it will be $300.

This made me laugh- a lot. I've actually been really busy recently, what with trying to complete all of my orders for the holiday season, and my mother landing in the hospital and all. Leather-wise, I'm actually in the process of making a new armor kit for myself, and a gladiator kit for a West Coast buddy of mine, so I'm putting a temporary hold on commissions, for now.

Another option is to contact 'Goggles' on the Bel boards (she posted about a pelt for sale on the buy/sell boards not too long ago). She did a pretty good wolf battle mask, and she is open for commissions, as far as I know.

On the left- she also did the bird one on the right too.

Ah, reading through my earlier post, the 'West Coast' part did seem a bit dissociative. My bad!

Currently, I am a proud member of Andor, and a resident of San Diego.
