Your pandaren art + characters are prob my fav of any I’ve seen! Similar note - is there a place you got the texture of the star scale + mail textures in a couple of them?

Thank you kindly!

As for the texture, I assume you are referring to this?

It is called “mountain pattern” and is a chinese type of scalemail (and maybe some more used it, I don’t dare to say). Here’s a gif of how I go about drawing it.

I start by covering the whole width of the piece with the zig-zags, and then work my way up and down. Making one link and then copy+pasting it does not really work as the piece then has to be really precise not to leave gaps, nor would it work on any curving surface and look good. Draw the whole surface from scratch instead.
