The Dragonbone Plate

I present to you to the Dragonbone Armor from Skyrim!

The original concept was designed by Adam Adamowicz and then modeled/textured by myself. I loved the art but - a little turned off by the high-fantasy idea of dressing oneself in bone (which, let's face it, would never work and would fit horribly) - I lobbied for a scrimshaw treatment. That idea was rejected, but the end-product still feels pretty believeable, I think. I didn't want you to be able to recognize entire bones, as Dragon bones would be, for the most part, too large and impractical to wear in whole pieces, so I had hewed them down and capped in black metal. I *loved* the black metal + white bone treatment from the concept art, so I stuck to that!

For fun, I've subbed out the Dragonbone helmet and replaced it with the classic wooden mask (based on a mask of mine from Nigeria). I also gave him a blade, The Sword of Hoo.

The entire mesh weighs in at ~10K polys.
