Swamp Necromancer crocodile skin and bone armor! Made for a friend for his character at Divine Intervention, a larp that I help staff that runs out of Georgetown Mass.
This armor was probably the most difficult and fun to make armor I have ever worked on. It is made from crocodile skin embossed cow hide for the base and straps, and 4 oz veg tan leather for the bones.
While a lot of the stitching on the upper back and chest helps achieve a shape that conforms to a male human torso, much of the stitching, especially on the abdominal and lower back panels, is purely cosmetic. The bones were all wet molded, painted white, and then coated with a protective acrylic layer to prevent chipping. After that I applied some semi dried black dye to edges and low points to help them pop, and reduce the "Oh god, so white" look. The edges were then all wrapped in lace.
