Forkbeard's Armour Emporium

Hey Andy... could you make something like this?

I wouldn't want the "helm piece" nor any of the fine detail etched into it. Just the basic armor look. What would you quote the price as?

Thats a very complicated piece, even without the patterns on the surface.
Probly around $450-550 depending on your size and how far you want to go with it. To make it EXACTLY like the one in the pics, sans the silvery tooling, it would be about $650+.
Reproduing custom fantasy armor down to the last detail is very time consuming. Making something that looks like it, but is not necesarily the same is alot easier.
That is some cool armor. Really reminds me of Moorcock's Elric. Not exactly "drow". Maleneboneans are WAY cooler and WAY WAY more evil than drow.
I think the guy stole the idea from a painting of Elric I saw somewhere. Head peice and all.

This one? Although I always think of the white-robed old-school cover art.

Na, the one im thinkin of is more Boris Vallejo(SP) style. It might be a Boris pic, for all I know.
Love the Michael Moorcock.

Hey hey, y'all.
Just rattlin my cup over here. I'm making some cool stuff. More SCA armor.
I've nearly finnished my first pair of finger Gauntlets. I'm quite proud of them. They are a hybrid of a few designs, but are SCA legal.
I'm making a couple things for some Belegarth people that are going to look cool. I'll post pics when I'm done.
Do any of you need anything? I got time on my hands and I need to pay the bills.
They Lamallar I have for sale is on sale for $325 instead of $400.
Thanks
