THAT is freaking cool! I'm gonna use this technique for my tassets

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thanks :)

[@michaelbrubaker4285]

I would love to see more pieces in this style to make a matching set. I need to figure out how to do this with triangles instead of squares. Figure it out and take my money lol

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Sadly, currently I plan not on more pieces in this style, focusing on other sets

[@BumbleBauz]

I really love how they look 😍

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you :) They are inspired by the tang and song dynasty armor

These are incredible! I wish I had seen them in time, I finished up my dragon slayer armor this week and these would have been perfect. I might have to add them on soon.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you, I am glade you like them. I plan for other pieces like these for this year so, there maybe also more for you to add :)

[@BumbleBauz]

@@NilsBeardfoot can’t wait to see them! 🤩

I want to make a full armor set for my left arm, vambrace, rerebrace and pauldron at least, and this woven rope motif is amazing. I might not do the dragon aplique on mine but im definitely picking up this pattern

[@NilsBeardfoot]

You are welcome to do so, I am glade when I can give you some inspiration :)
