Making metal guises

Hello, my name is Vadim Shulga, I’m a metal crafter and a melee weapon fighter. Deviantart I make various masks, armour and accessories for role-playing games, performances, festivals, professional melee weapon fighting and photoshoots. Also, I create unorthodox sets for cosplay for computer games, literary and movie character. These activities aren’t my main occupation, it’s all for fun and during my leisure time. As field RPGs and medieval festivals in our country are characterized by much brutality and wide usage of steel (blunt edge) weapons, all my creations are reliable and robust and will really protect you from blows. No cardboard, paper mache or thin plactics – only thick leather and honest metal (TRUE METAL! :)), only hardcore :). In my creative work, I deny limits, standards and exact copying of the original. Every item is creatively reworked and only partly resembles the original. When the work is finished, the creative process doesn’t stop – I return to my masks and armour, even after years pass, and improve them.






In future I would like to spend less time on regular routine work and pay more attention to new creations. Tha’s why I need your help. In my turn, I promise to share with you everything that will be going on (with photos and videos).
