Namari

I had extremely limited armor making skills (still do, really, but this helped me a lot) and had never made a breastplate until this point. Unfortunately it came out way too tall at the shoulders and it shows in pics, but for a non-comp piece I'm not too worried about it. I textured and painting it with a lot of layers, so I don't think it looks too accurate for leather but I wanted to try something a little different.

The wig is an Arda, can't remember the color, but it took a lot of crimping and trimming to get to Namari's chopped-with-a-knife look. I actually shortened it again recently, so it's a bit different than the pics with Kira show.

This is the first time I've ever managed to figure out how to make pants with a button leg cuff. I don't know why I could never figure it out, but it finally happened and I love the pants an unholy amount.

The shoe were a perfect find that just needed some leather paint to make them brown instead of black.

The halberd is not a proper model but something I threw together in Tinkercad and 3D printed. I learned a lot just by putting those shapes together thanks to that program, and I highly recommend it to anyone with limited modeling experience to try.
