Dragonrock: Dragon Knight: Father of Dragons Armor

So I finally finished to rest of the Dragon Knight armor. I can already tell that I learned a LOT from this cosplay compared to Legion Commander. This project had a lot more detail and complicated shapes. Honestly, that why I picked this skin; I'm not a huge Dragon Knight player, but dragons + knights + shield and sword= AWESOME.

Though I skipped documenting some steps, I think most things are self explanatory. (theres a lot of pictures for this post)

The back of the chest piece.... its kind of like a bra...

I really like the high neck line thing

I forgot to document the making of the shoulder pads.... which sucks because they would actually quite hard, but fun to make

I like to seal the EVA foam with silicon cocking... its messy but cheap and fills gaps pretty well

the last part of painting is adding the low and high lights. For the gold, I like using Raw Umber of the low lights. It gives it a slight dirty look.

The first plate of the outer thigh armor

Cocking

silver

red and gold (the triangle thing is y belt buckle meant to look a bit like my shield)

Butt flap

I put this all together and strapped it onto the belt so this all comes off and on in one peice

Had to actually break down and buy those tight girly work out pants.... ew

A 2 piece guantlet

The pieces behind the gauntlets are bicep armor.

All the upper body pieces (minus the furry vest)

knee pads to stab-eth you with

The shin and calf guard are 2 pieces that hinge together at the top and velcro at the bottom... until i find something better, velcro with have to do

So I tried everything all put together... and was kind of unsatisfied with the chest piece.... I look like a tug boat.

BAck to the drawing board for a chest piece. I liked the top most one, but it didn't look anything like the original, non-gender bent version, so I had to change some things.
