Hello again,
I posted a little bit ago about a Fire Nation Mandalorian and just wanted to sketch out some ideas before starting the bulk of design and construction. I am not an artist at all and due to current situation did all of this in MSPaint (yes i know , haha). I plan on put the art into a better program when I get the chance to start the 3D modeling process.
I have the idea of making a Modern Era Mando with a flair of the Fire Nation from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. I wanted Mando first, Fire Nation as an accent.
So here it goes,
Helmet:The helmet is the standard Modern Era T-visor Mando Helmet. The head piece is the Fire Nation Royal Crest for helmets. I thought the style and shape could still fit with the SW Universe visuals. It also has a communication antenna on the right rear side.
Torso/Collar Guard/Shoulder:I went with standard mando armor with colors from the Fire Nation.
Codpiece/Backstrap:These are small pieces and dont really have any other flair but wanted to draw them out.
Vambraces:Right arm will have some buttons that light up and a hidden blade. Left will be where the nozzle to the flamethrower will be.
Legs/Shins/Boot Cover:Standard armor with similar style and color. Boot guards will be pointed on the end similar to the Fire Nation boots but still made with in-universe materials.
Backpack:The backpack is going to be fuel tanks (Influenced by the First Order Flametroopers) with a connection tube to the left vambrace. I know that Boba and other Mandos have had flamethrowers but I wanted to have that be the specialty of this kit as it makes sense for the tie to the Fire Nation.
Full Set:Here is it all together. I think the dimensions and scale are off but this was more for visuals than a guide for measuring.
Custom Logo:I was iffy on this one as I know the mythosaur skull is an important symbol but wanted to try to make the symbol the only true connection between Mando and Fire Nation.
Thanks for reading and sorry for long post. All advice and critiques are welcome and if any of this breaks rules let me know so I can adjust accordingly.
**This is just the armor. I have a plan for all the soft goods but want to get the armor done and tie it in later with the extras.**
