Hodurgan Armor

Postby dragoncool97 » Mon Jun 13, 2016 7:20 am

Ok the lines are done thanks to the oh so brilliant Pety! Thank you so much for designing his Norse themed armor for me! Its truly fabulous.

Sidenote: any color ideas? I'm considering doing traditional Norse armor coloring but idk yet.

Edit: Went traditional and im happy i did! Gonna do detail work now. Norse runes and celtic knots should be fun!

Story behind the armor: Before Hodurgan was called such he was known as Thalaris, and was a fierce and vicious warrior. As such, his original armor was much more dense, made for serious battles. However, once he became a gladiator for the Games of Giddeon, later winning, he had his armor altered to be lighter weight and had it based of the norse origins of his new name. HIs new armor, made from the same iron as his old armor, is now much lighter weight, and offers very little protection (as a roman gladiators would). Instead of more metal, the armor is composed largly of leather, cloth and fur. The fur (still editing) was taken from that of a tiger, as a reminder of Hodurgan's last opponent from the games, Dionysus, who was himself bore a tabby like pelt.

Symbols:
Shoulder(top to bottom) - "Hodurgan"; "Thalaris"; two lions depicting his mother; Hodurgan freezing Rasjamin in the Games
Back - Hodurgan and Dionysus after Dionysus broke Hodur's tale shard

Oh wow, this looks great! Nice work Dragon~
Personally I would have gone with traditional colours. But since it's the lions of the cosmos you might aswell throw some vibrant colours in there, if you feel like it. Some blue, purple or green perhaps? ^^ Edit: Or red, to match his nose.
