Hi there! Thanks for viewing my image.
I am the creator of and model of the costume, Nightingale Armor from the video game Elderscrolls V: Skyrim.
This photoshoot was done by Bob Clark of RDC Photography: [link]

I play Skyrim and as I was wondering what costume to make I decided to just go for my favorite one! My character is always in this armor.

About the costume: I began planning and collecting materials in September 2012. Most of it is sewn out of pleather and vinyl which I then treated with black paint, silver spray paint, hot glue, model magic, and way more black paint. I made the pattern by cutting out pieces of paper and holding them up my body to see if they would be the right size and shape. Then I used those paper pieces to cut out my fabric. Very time consuming as I don't have a dress form. One day I'll get one. I completed the costume 4 months later in December.

If you would like to see WIP photos of this costume you can visit my Facebook page at [link]

There's also an extensive How-to on my blog now: [link]

I also have an Etsy.com shop up now too: [link]

Friend me, add me, like me, circle me too as I'm on Google+ as well.
