I keep wanting to make my Blood Dragon armour ASAP. ANd the think is I have now got a really good method for smoothing and shaping. And the armour would be freaking amazing to have that solid feel. And I kind of probably can do the hyper curved pieces…
So, aside from not being able to play ME on my computer (I should be able to get it to work on a Win7 OS as all the guides are for that…*) today has been good. I am going to be able to focus on Nyreen and my Lizzie Shep Blood Dragon again
Yes, I was so…

Blood dragon
I don’t know why I was so frightened of this stage! Most pieces don’t need shaping… So I may even…
So that took too long but I have butt cup thing and hip, belt, thigh pieces. Stage 1 again but I have run out of card. Also cut the original papercraft chest pieces apart and I think I will just use them with the new cutting lines as well as create a new shoulder and back support.
So most of it will be my pattern (direct to mannequin) but the chest will be an alteration of the papercraft. Unless I go and buy even more card and just do this out of stubborness…. Which is fairly typical.
I need more card anyway….
So this is what I mean by stage 1. Here all the layers are present but I still rely on tape to help with the shape. So there are still patches and darts that need to be cut and evened. But I have tried this on my arm and it fits with enough wiggle room for a thicker substrate- probably two layers of thin foam not the heavy stuff.
So I need a good amount of extra card to do this. Also I think I’d actually need at least one whole extra cow were I to make this from leather so I will leave it for my current plans of Talon bikini top and some fantasy armour.
And hippy dippy

So cutting the templates for Shae was harder than it needed to be and I was almost in tears. It is ready to glue together now though and the effort should be worth it.
So after a break I started testing the paper patterns for my Blood Dragon. No, I’m not yet ready to cut the foam base. But I do now have all the armour roughly patterned. Except the helmet. I kind of like how my Lizzie Shep looked with her tiny ponytail and no helmet in cut scenes 🙂
A mix of printer paper, cartridge and baking paper. So yes, it will all need to be transferred. Hpwever my walls are horrible so I need to buy enough card to cover it as well as transfer patterns to.
