See that tabardish, weird thing hanging down between his legs and covering his nawty bits? What the heck is it? I am doing a commission piece and I have stared at it and I am still a bit clueless. Covering his stones with stones? Hiding his organ with organs? (hubby wants me to paint it like it's livers or hearts or something). I am trying to keep this as clean as I can here, but the discussion here has degenerated beyond imagination. Save me.

 

Keep it clean, but...Gene, give me a clue cuz I feel stupid here...

The original concept art makes it look like some kind of highly textured hide: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11481-kanaag-the-half-orc-ranger/

 

Gene's sculpted version is a little different, and some of the armor was lost in translation.

Yeah, looks like dragon hide in that picture, but the figure doesn't have the rest of the skirt thing with the same texture, so it isn't quite clear.

 

Anyway, I'd go with dragon scales or patchwork fur.

My mom had a weird flokati rug over the back of our couch for years that was a bunch of random hides and furs stitched together. Texture was sorta like that, with bristly boar hair, fluffy rabbit fur, and all everything in between, maybe a dozen different shapes and textures sewn in a circle. I think there was horse in there, and chinchilla. Looking back, that thing was kinda brutal. I'd paint it to look like that.

IIRC the concept art I had to work from at the time hadn't been finished yet. It was still very loose and sketchy so I had to improvise a little. I remember talking to Ron about the loin cloth and we couldn't figure out what it was, so I went with "bumpy"... That's pretty sad isn't it? I like the previous ideas of it being a rust monster hide or the flokati rug made out of all kinds of different critters fur! Either of those would work great!!
