Thank you for the responses so far!
Derian - Good to know; we have precious little time to test out/break in the pieces for Geddon, so your input saves us a lot of hassle. Going to do some experimentation with the greaves, though - my footwear has gone from bouncy runners to clunky boots to nimble, nimble vibram fivefingers,,,,, We'll see how the greaves and the wrap of the pants underneath interact with that.... I wish there was a way to minimize their appearance, but we'll see how the whole deal looks when its all together.
Jcollins - Funny enough, we followed your exact process to the letter: the design was just uneven to begin with; something we realized early on, but I decided to just go with it and see how it turns out. As for the greaves, I decided to go WAY to wiggly (thanks to the tree/root theme), so none of it looks out of place. Saria's gear will likely be far more precise. Dye is forthcoming, we haven't forgotten it - doing it all a dark chestnust, with a little some extra to darken the recesses/age it. (We're tea-staining the Garb we're doing up at the moment, too)
Really going to be curious to see how the greaves hold up when finished... I need a bigger backgrounding tool. Either way, when combined with new garb, this should all come together nicely. If I'm lucky, I'll have the greaves finished by late tonight.
