Hey there,
i was just browsing and found your pics online. I must say, very nice job so far. I don't do cosplay or whatnot, but i do combat sports where armor counts for something, so armor for me needs to actually be functional and the Dothraki belt and woven armor is perfect. I actually build a lot of armor, some of which is here
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kades-Work-Bench/257518650948433 I just thought that i would share some of my work. None of it is intended to be a recreation, just an inspired by sort of thing.
Here is what i put together over the weekend.
I took some liberties with it. Since you only ever see it from the front really, and i didn't feel like re watching an episode to check the back, i put some different patchwork styles in the back figuring that it already looks like patchwork armor, so it makes sense that they would use whatever they had on hand.
Closer look at the center. I used lions because that's what i already had on hand from another project and they looked good there. So much so that i decided to make a belt with it.
Here is the belt which will go right under the gut belt. I need to add a ton more braids.
