LE Plainswalker Armor

[gry0127]

This is my first time posting. I have used nexus for little over a year now. I casually play Magic with a group of friends. In all the armor mods i have seen, I have never seen a MTG plainswalker armor mod. More specifically, why hasn't there been for instnce a mages destruction set for Ral Zarek or Chandra Pyromancer, an illusion set for Jace Mindsculpter, a druid-like, brute strength set for Garruk Caller of Beasts, a Sorin Markov set for vampires, a Gideon Jura set for a stendar-like character, or a Varaska the Unseen for assasins,

I am by no means a mod maker and i wouldn't know where to begin but i think they would be pretty neat.

One thing I would suggest is making sure to actually post some visual examples. Luckily, I think some of Magic's visual designs would fit in nicely, so I'll fish up a few for you.

 

Here are some pictures of Jace Beleren, whose robe has a nice vibe for an illusionist or similar mage.

Here's a couple pictures of Tybalt, a demonic sorcerer whose outfit has a nice 'dashing rogue' vibe.

The second casts him opposite Sorin Markov, a vampire character.

Here's Garruk, a more primal character whose armor might be a good fit for a barbarian type.

And, a personal favorite, not a specific character but the aesthetic of the Orzhov faction has always been a favorite of mine, so I'll throw that in the pot - a soldier and priest of Orzhov are visible in these following pics.

As can be seen they favor a baroque, religious style with lots of ostentatious decoration, along with primarily dark colors accentuated by white and gold.

I would love this idea to be made into a mod. Especially Jace and Ral Zarek. Unfortunately, while I love the idea, it's not particularly likely. As Ghosu pointed out awhile back (and since he does modeling and I don't, I'm inclined to believe him), weapons are fairly straight-forward, but armor has to be made to flex, and it has to have multiple versions made for fitting different people. Armor can be rather difficult and extremely time-consuming, while weapons are easier (so they spend more time on weapons since they can produce better results in less time). We might, however, be able to get one or two sets made, but we'll almost definitely not get all the ones listed. We should pick a favorite and hope for the best. Personally, as I already mentioned, I'm most fond of Jace and Ral. And I prefer Ral Zarek of the two, but Jace's might be easier, I don't know.

 

I don't think Tybalt would fit too well, but Sorin's probably would (not that not fitting in is a deal killer for everyone). I do think the Orzhov apparel is great. But still, my vote would be for Ral Zarek in a perfect world and Jace Beleren in a world where I have to compromise.
