Leliana Armour WIP

So this it what I've been working on since I got home to Florida...I mean this is ALL I've been working on, for the past week ^^

It started when I found and AMAZING CG render of Leliana. I got to work drafting patterns and I didn't stop.

I've never made armour this complex before; it's the first time I've made an armour pattern and done extensive wet-forming for the chest. So far, it's going quite well.

It's made from 4/5oz vegi-tan, hand tooled on the borders. I used black antique for the colour since it's a weird -not quite brown/not quite black- and I think I found a happy medium. I also distressed the leather a little with sand paper.

As I said the armour is wet-formed, and it's held together with contact cement and rivets. It laces up the back and I'm working on a panel that attaches to the back to cover the lacing.

I also have the pauldron and a few more random pieces finished, but I'll post pix of those when they're more interesting to look at ^^

Right now I'm working on the soft leather pieces that go over the armour.
