This tutorial is designed to show what you can create using only materials that are widely available at general craft stores, with no need for specialty shops or internet orders. I specifically used it for Helm's Deep elf armor, but it could be used for almost any armor that you can break down into fairly flat pieces.

For those unfamiliar, Big Daddys are the protectors of the Little Sisters in Rapture, an underwater city devoid of morality which has degenerated into chaos and insanity. They are huge, fast, strong, and as it turns out, a solid pain in the ass to build. I'm going to break with tradition for a sec, and show you the finished product first.

For anyone who hasn’t played the game, there’s a wealth of beautiful armor and weaponry. Its the sort of thing where a builder like me wanders around the map saying “I want to make that. And that. And three of those.” The item I found most striking, and the one I chose to build first, was the Ancient Nord Helmet (also called the Draugr helmet.)

Skyrim: Dragonborn Helmet and Costume Tutorial. Hello everyone!
Today's post is going to be a tutorial on how I made my Skyrim Dragonborn helmet, plus some pointers and pictures on how I made the rest of the costume. Now, I am a horrible procrastinator when it comes to me making costumes for conventions. I am usually the entire night before it is suppose to be ready lol. This can be a blessing and a curse!
