Diaries of a Madman!

So MCM London Expo has come and gone and my Pierre was what I would consider a success. It was fun getting bits together and to wear for the day. So what now?

Well I was discussing with Rachel Church (Athora Cosplay) and she was after some more Tomb Raider cosplayers particularly some not cosplaying Lara or Alex who were quite popular, so it got me thinking who I could pull off an without too much thought Mathias came to mind. Seems I suit being the villain

With a bit of looking about I have decided to pull of regular Mathias from when Lara encounters him for the first time with Sam, before she is snatched away. I chose this over Father Mathias as he appears later in the game as the outfit seems much more achievable for someone like me who has little creative talent. 

The outfit should hopefully work out like this:



Based on this image the things I need to get sorted to make this outfit are:

• Grey suit jacket
  
• White t-shirt (crew neck)
• Stonewash jeans
• Brown boots
• Bandage
• Dyes for blood colouring
• Camo paint/ dirt water for face, neck, hands etc
• Wooden walking stick (not shown here)
• Dirt/dyes for adding wear and damage to clothing
• Necklace - need to find what is attached to it. Looks like a key, watch and other junk (based on the Father Mathias image shown below).
