Armor Creation

[DrizztFan24]

I need to create an accurate replica of the Drizzt armor... That's my goal. I have permission form Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Salvatore to do so and Mr. Lockwood would like the templates emailed to him for his personal enjoyment. Are there any computer programs I can use to design my pieces or anything that will take a real template and convert it to a digital format? I would like to be able to scale the design; hopefully to scale it down and make it "elf-sized".

Also, if anyone has any other help to offer for me don't hesitate. I will be making the whole thing from scratch with no prior experience.

P.S. I realize that with the most recent novels Drizzt doesn't wear traditional armor but I still want to make a set.

I'm pretty sure you could draw up designs in pretty much any CAD program--it's just finding the right one that's tricky. On a less helpful note, AWESOME! I'm a big Salvatore fan, so to see a set of armor for Drizzt would be really cool. You can get some inspiration my searching DeviantArt in the Artisan Crafts section for "drow armor" I believe. This should be awesome

Here's a thread started by another of our members, Dale Elad, who has made Drizzt armour.

Maybe he can give you some pointers.

Yeah, google directed me to his page a year or so ago. His is modified to present his own interpretation; mine is supposed to look like the armor on the new cover art.
