A few days before Valentines day, my wife figures, "I WANT TO MAKE YOU ARMOR.... LIKE BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA... but different."
The day before Valentines day we drive 4 hours to get to Tandy leather to buy a side of leather for her to work with leather for the first time.
She finished the armor of her own design with my help last night and wants me to post pictures of it and show her work.
For her first project in leather, here is her Valentines gift to me.




Good mobility, but I cant touch my opposite arm pit.


and this is me in full garb and more armor

I like the tooling. She did a great job.

Your wife is cool as ****. Keep her.
nice first armor.

I like the right shoulder and the wings on the back. That's some amazing work for a first time project. She put alot of work and love into that peice. For the thing about not being able to reach your other side it looks like you need to cut more into the front peice of the chest. Make it more tank top like. But you might mess up the cool heart on the left side. That might effect your fighting if you can't tuck your shield. Just a thought.

Her choice in design was all about, "This is how I want it." So she would ignore my advice on a few things and now I am going to have to get a squire so that they can help me get in and out of the armor and get me a butt scratcher if I itch anywhere.
Does anybody have any extra squires to trade?

No, but i know someone who can get you a butt scratcher!

You, sir, win on three counts:

1) Awesome tooling. The floral patterns on the shoulder are particularly intricate and well-done.
2) Being a green-skin and actually having GREEN SKIN and EARS. Kudos!
3) Having a wife that would make armor for you. Kudos again.

Idk about you but most goblins I see at events have green skin..

That is one awesome wife though. Vday armor > vday sexins.

You are lucky in so many ways.
*wants armor again so bad*

Very cool stuff, nice work, esp. for a first attempt.

Very awesome!!!!

The face, ears, and hair are a mask in the helmet. I can remove the mask and wear it without the helmet, but cant wear the helmet without the mask.

I am going to be dismantling the helmet soon so that it fits to my head without the mask. I will add detachable ears and hair.

1. Your wife is awesome to make you armor.
2. The armor has great tooling.
3. I wish EVERY goblin had a mask/ear setup like you. Well done.

The armor looks awesome and feels awesome.
but I still havent battle tested it because I fight children and they havent shown up in a few weeks. FML
