Calling all Stoneward Shardplate bearers

[Jenbuu]

Hey all 

In my introductory post i said i wanted to make some 3d printed shardplate cosplay armour.

ive been working on a design and i wanted the opinions of people who identify as Stonewards

Now before i get started. i can 3d model.... i have an active imagination..... BUT i cant draw for toffee......so please dont hate on me for using AI for something im unable to do....
So for this I've had a in-depth conversation with ChatGPT about this and i will use this as an artistic base for what i want to design.

I just wanted your opinion. i like the idea but if its not something that resonates with stone wards i dont want to create it in 3d and then make the suit of armour


also why Stoneward..... well while there is descriptions of Windrunners there is no concept art  and Sanderson had me tested and thats what i came out as

but yer i would like the community input, i dont see many cosplayers in Shardplate in the UK and truth be told im not the smallest person on the planet and being a built like a wall suits me well

Hey just so you know this should probably go in Sanderson fanworks not 17thshard discussion.

@JenbuuNovaRay is correct - the 17th Shard discussion subforum is for discussing the site itself, not general Sanderson things. I've moved the topic for ya.

Okay, this is purely a personal opinion, and if you like it this way, then just disregard what I’m about to say: 

It looks very boxy. Like, it makes me think of a robot. I feel like the torso should be angular and smaller, and this may be what you’re looking for, but the same thing with the boots, glove and helmet. This is purely formed by my views on the “perfect armor shape” so basically, is the heavy boxy shape intentional?

Edit: heads up, I don’t usually identify as a Stoneward, depending on the day I’ll alternate between four orders

This was the first pass and i dont really align with the stonewards it was just a good place to start
I was going off the descriptions i could find where it was saying they were like a wall, a heavy set suit. 

This is why i came to the forums, always good to get a another set of eyes, Looking at it now it is bulky but doesnt feel overpowering bulky more dwarven bulky xD
