  • Frank Ippolito shows us his amazing Lich King armor that he made for Blizzard's Hearthstone Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion. This project allowed Frank and his team to take cosplay to a new level, combining clay sculpting, large-scale 3d printing, smoke effects, and chroming to make our jaws drop. Just look at that Frostmourne sword!

    I figured out what felt kind of off for me. The Lich King was covered by his cape a little more. It went over his upper arms and connected under the pauldrons. The costume is amazing and there's no way I can do better. It's just, it felt like something was missing and after looking at pictures I think that was it.

      I mean, if you want realism, Arthas's hand is big enough to smother his own face. Seriosuly go back and look at how absolutely gargantuan his hands are. In fact, just about everyone in WoW has massive hands and or feet by comparison. WHY they chose to make hands and feet completely out of sync with everythign else i have no idea, just look at blood elf, they are the most anatomically correct to humans (more so than humans actually) and you can tell their feet are fucking huge, even the girls.
