Related to the 14th DA anniversary... This is a little about my story on DA.


First of all around 2005-2006 I've been more a visitor for have a look on some things here and here....

Around 2007 I've open a first account, under the name of "Taur-nu-fuin_Edhel" .; or something like that x)
That first account was more about craft that I've start to do, mostly fantasy related (Warhammer, Middle Earth related... )
You could have seen stuff like thoses deviations :

Morgul Banner by Carancerth Leather Tasette by Carancerth Leather Poldron by Carancerth Mage Sylvain by Carancerth



Then I've wanted something different and I decided to change my account name for something else...
I've decide to have a "better name", "Carancerth" was born (okay honestly... I don't think this is the best ever but people can find me easily with my name too ^^" )

And then I start to do some basic shootings and "univer inspired things"
Like Sweeney todd Inspired (wich was kindof random clothes for me honestly... )

Wait For The Next Customer by Carancerth Blood And Wax by Carancerth Fleet Street by Carancerth I Will Have You by Carancerth
Also, simple "costumes" improvised with few things that I already have.
WayWatcher by Carancerth Wild Face by Carancerth

And came out this idea of trying to "cosplay" properly character...

First "serious" step was Lestat :

Lestat : A Question About God by Carancerth Step Away From the Light - Lestat the Vampire by Carancerth Lestat: A Lust For Blood by Carancerth

Then I've think about other possibilities, and in the meanwhile I've try to increase my propmaking :

Harad Shield by Carancerth Mirkwood Shield by Carancerth Harad Bow by Carancerth Mirkwood Bow by Carancerth Elvish Leather Corselet by Carancerth Mirkwood Quiver by Carancerth Rohirrim Shield by Carancerth Come and get me ! by Carancerth An Elf in the Village by Carancerth


The Joker came out as another serious business, think about a good makeup was one of the hardest part, find good setting was too..
But putting the character in good settings and with comrades came out for me as an evidence... Big influence coming from the Cinema.

Joker's Mad Smile by Carancerth Nice place, isn't it? by Carancerth Where is He? by Carancerth You Look At Me by Carancerth

With a need of improovement into the makeup part it give better results ;)

The Joker is a 'Funny Boy' by Carancerth FUCK - the Joker, Batman by Carancerth WHAT? by Carancerth There is the Madness -  The Joker and Harley Quinn by Carancerth Psychosocial - Joker Cosplay by Carancerth

Next steps were related to performs:

The Minotaure 20-11-2010 by Carancerth Walk to another field by Carancerth Black and White Bull by Carancerth Face to a bull by Carancerth Totem by Carancerth

And the need of production for try to get some money from my work, so, I've invested efforts, money and much in it...

Succubus Wings + Tutorial by Carancerth Succubus Hooves V1 by Carancerth Succubus Top by Carancerth Succubus Wings V2.1 + Tutorial by Carancerth

Naamah The Succubus by Carancerth A Demon in the Wild by Carancerth Incubus in Pontoise by Carancerth Dryad at Pontoise by Carancerth Minotaure TGS by Carancerth Misty Bull by Carancerth Welcome in Hell by Carancerth Demonic Couple by Carancerth 



It have been a period without "cosplay".. more thinking about fantasy and of to use a charactr for performs...

Then the need of going back in this.. with more experience, and for push myself to produce quality things...
Warcraft was the thing that I have pick up first, with Middle earth.
Props were mostly my activities :

Troll Gloves + Shoes by Carancerth Orcish Weapon by Carancerth Warcraft Troll's Skulls Totem by Carancerth Arrows from Far Harad by Carancerth Warcraft Troll's Voodoo Mask by Carancerth Harad Armor and Flag by Carancerth Rohirrim Vambrace by Carancerth Rohirrim leather Armor by Carancerth

Then later trying to make some prototypes for Arthas...
But it wasn't good enought for me... This is why I'm still working/managing this project.

Arthas as Death Knight - 1st step by Carancerth Arthas in Northrend by Carancerth Arthas: Paladin W.I.P. 1 by Carancerth Arthas Menethil: Warcraft Myst of Pandaria  event by Carancerth Arthas as Death Knight  and  Blood elf  Mage. by Carancerth

Then was back on props and costume related to thoses universes... But few time for me and few money, that was my student part of my life too, I think it was quite related x)

Warcraft 3 Militia V1.0 by Carancerth Warcraft Axethrower Troll's Belt by Carancerth Warcraft Wich Doctor Troll Staff by Carancerth Harad Quivers by Carancerth Harad Flag by Carancerth Harad Sabers by Carancerth Troll Axes by Carancerth

End of my studies were approching as a job opportunity... But not thanks to studies.. Thanks to my personnal interest and activities...

So.. This is when I've start to work in Alesia, and with ACTA :

Gladiator : PERCUTITE! by Carancerth Opportunity - Roman Legion - Alesia by Carancerth The Line - ACIEM - Roman Legion - Alesia by Carancerth Museoparc Alesia by Carancerth How to Swing a Sword - Gaul Warrior by Carancerth

It have help me to elvolve, a lot, and provie me things that have help me for increase my skills, and my productions.

Then, I was back on project related or not to history :

Bucklers : Small ronded Shields by Carancerth Woolen Hoods by Carancerth Medieval Flails by Carancerth Steel Armor : Vambraces by Carancerth Gambeson, padded garnment by Carancerth Rohirrim Greaves by Carancerth Blue and Brown Leather Purse by Carancerth

And Irvine Came out as a new serious project for me... :

Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine Kinneas : Necklace by Carancerth Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine Kinneas : Coat by Carancerth Final Fantasy 8 - Irvine Kinneas ' chaps by Carancerth  Irvine Kinneas from Gabaldia Garden by Carancerth Irvine, the Space Cowboy by Carancerth Return of the Space Cowboy, Irvine Kinneas. by Carancerth

And in the meanwhile... The wish to try modeling :

Another Prick On The Wall by Carancerth What Makes A Good Man by Carancerth How You Like Me Now ? by Carancerth

So far my last project are not yet all on DA ....

Since the begining I am hesitating to put here some of my writings, mostly it was poems, thoughts...
I think now... That it's time to put them down in my computer... And here as well...

Also the coming year will be full of props and pictures coming from different univers
I've some Warcraft news, as end of the Irvine & Casual shoot ;)
+ all the things I have to finish.. But I don't know yet when it will be finish and ready...

Thanks for reading, I hope this "Deviantography" Have been interesting for you ;p

I've enjoyed following your work ever since I started watching you--it's so refreshing to see a really GOOD male cosplayer!  I think I found your work through a World of Warcraft group that was featuring your Arthas cosplay.  I was like, :jawdrop:, then like :wow:!  

:XD:
