while searching i came across more images that might help with this search, a few things i noted:
- this is likely a documentary on either Baldwin IV or Montisgard
- its probably a student film
- looks to be made on a film camera
- could be a Spanish adaptation of KoH
anyway, the images:
So scrolling through pinterest, I'm wondering.. All the KoH fans I need help finding this film
at the risk of sounding mean doesnt anyone else think that he looked fucking disproportionate in this scene or is it just me ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
he looks so silly
so ik you all are probably tired of the cosplay pics and stuff but i do have a photoshoot with my friends scheduled sometime when its cooler in my area so im here asking for inspo on some Baldwin poses to do for the shoot, i will likely have props but will bring any i see fit (a sword, chess board, a rose..?)
any reccomendations would be nice, including if some need drawing refs :)
more pics taken by friends of mine :) including how I looked from a distance lmao
briefly stole my friends moustache for this
"Let it be known to all, both future and present, that I, Baldwin, by the grace of God, in the city of Jerusalem, holy to the Latins, give or grant to you Joscelinus, my uncle, my seneschal, or to your heirs; count, a thousand byzanci to the chain of Accon, to receive annually the customary boundaries of the chain, and to possess a certain cottage, called Jescu, situated in the mountains of Accon, with all its appurtenances, by right of inheritance, except that Alemanding the same Jesse and half of his appurtenances as a dowry, but all after his the teaching shall return to your heirs.
Now I have given you the following omaia in exchange for Maron, which I had previously given to you with all its appurtenances or cottages, on the condition that for all these you shall do the same service to me as my heirs and your heirs, which you were obliged to do for Maron before, with the exception of the assizes, which are in the tower of Maroni.
I grant you a certain house near the New Castle, which you bought from Johanne Bogalet, the scribe of El Bisautia, to whom the house itself was previously owned. I give and grant to you and to your heirs John Drugemannus of Castello Novi with all his estates, things and possessions which he inherited from me.
21t therefore the page of this donation or grant of mine, granted to you and to your heirs, is to be sealed in perpetuity, and I commanded that the undissolved charter be protected by the witnesses undersigned with my seal. His witnesses are Guido Joppes and the count of Ascalon: Aimericus constable: Balduious do Vholin: Balianus his brother: Caufridus Tortus; Cotsvinus Boccus William de Molombocca. Given to Accon by the hand of Cuillelm, archbishop and king's chancellor of Zurensis, the 13th kal.
April"

"To be deprived of the use of one's limbs is of little help to one in carrying out the work of government. If I could be cured of the disease of Naaman, I would wash seven times in Jordan, but I have found in the present age no Elisha who can heal me. It is not fitting that a hand so weak as mine should hold power when fear of Arab agression daily presses upon the Holy City and when my sickness increases the enemy's daring... I therefore beg you that, having called together the barons of the kingdom of France, you immediately choose one of them to take charge of this Holy Kingdom. For We are prepared to receive with affection whomever you send Us, and We will hand over the kingdom to a suitable successor." - King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem
regardless of how the poll turns out i will still be doing the main *whatever* i do, im mostly curious and will do more of what the poll suggests because either way its game
currently trying to figure out how i could digitalize the mask to be a 3d print/render so it makes cosplaying him a fuck ton easier lmao
at first i was gonna buy a mask and maybe do a repaint of it but the ones i found online, the absolute cheapest and closest to the movie mask was 60$ CAD.. and im a cheap bastard
there where also ones where they where 200$ CAD, and they where super accurate and cool i will admit but like, 200$ is insane, so out of spite i spent months on the one i have lmao
if i am able to digitalize it so anyone who has access to a 3d printer is able to have a cheaper alternative, would you be interested? i cant promise anything as im completely out of my depth here but im stubborn and dont want people to have to spend money on something that doesnt bring the satisfaction it should
sorry for the rant â™›
i think baldwins mask may have been inspired by a few things, my two guesses are ancient sumerian sculptures, and greek/roman sculptures, the shape of his mask reminds me particularly of the lifelikeness of greek/roman sculptures, but something about it also seems ancient sumerian as well, like the eye hole shape and brow ridge
worked on this all afternoon to get it ready to post, some more changes to the weathering may be needed but, what do you guys think?
