The location is about 15 minutes away from my home stead, beeeautiful day, yes?
I'll answer any questions if you have any.

First!

It looks very good Hydra I'm particularly fond of the prancing.

[Dar'manda]

Nice work!  Perfect place for photos...the backgrounds are stunning.

[Hondo Karr]

Got your app... I'll just link this thread... disregard the email I sent requesting pix.

[Slade Kel]

Kandosii, ner burc'ya...looks amazing . The only thing I'd say is that the diamond sternum plate just looks kind of odd. Feels like it should flare out toward the bottom, like the inner lines of the chest plates. Still, amazing altogether, .

[Shocye Ren]

Wow, I don't know which looks better, your kit or the countryscape! You've done an excellent job, all of your gear works perfectly together. You should be very proud.

[Runi Ne'tra]

The prances photo totally scared the hell out of me hahaha 

Very very well done.  I like the lightweight look of the armor, and I agree.. the backgrounds really stole the show.  Unfortunately the most exciting thing in Ohio that I could take pics in front of are trees or cows.... neither very exciting or filled with much character or drama.    Can't wait to see it at D Con if you're going. 

[Slade Kel]

They could be hell cows? IDK about you, but the cows in the Cow Level of Diablo II scared the osik out of me the first time I went in there .

[Frost K'Amon]

Moo.
Moo!
MOOOOoooOOOooOOO!
Moo.

but still, izz vurry purdy, I'm also enjoying the boba-thong redux going on.

[Koza Teroch]

Very nice Hydra, great job! gives me some ideas on redoing my current build.

[Jaden Tracyn]

wow! Been waiting for your armor for a long time! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Mandalore the Uniter]

Very very nice Hydra!  Looks like we're gonna have ALOT of hot female mandos at DCon this year.  =)

[Tigris Falco]

That looks bloody sweet

[Rokeim Gekla]

Very well done Hydra !  'bout time we get the Mistress in armor !    Overall it everything seems to sit well and the spacing is perfect.   I will agree with Jun that the Bicep area needs a little tightening up, but thats obviously your choice.   One other thing I noticed was how your cape hangs, to me it looks a little 'light' ?  Dont know if thats the right word for it, or if it was what you were going for in the first place   

Novall is right too... wesa gunna have alotta good lookin Femando's (all ya'll look good, so dont be shootin at me !) at D*Con !

[Zazarus]

Very well done, been wanting to see this armor all put together but wasn't sure when you would finish.  Again it looks great!

[Brisk Arper Vok'chi]

wow....seriously hydra this is upo there with one of ther best finished costumes ive ever seen...this ranks up there with novall and ram...no kidding

[Jarad Lan]

Very nice, good job.

[Shak-ti 4 Him]

That is awsome armor!!!! LOVE IT!!! amazing! 

[Mandalore the Uniter]

That is awsome armor!!!! LOVE IT!!! amazing! 

Makes you wanna go mando now...doesn't it? =D

[TheMandoMan]

Yikes!  It looks like you stepped right out of your concept drawing!  Amazing work!  Now you've made me afraid to post up anything I do because there's no way I could do anything that would measure up to this. 

That last picture is pure epicness.

[Axon Kor Verda]

Absolutely stunning work Hydra!!! Man, makes me want to scrap everything and not costume now because I could never get close to that level...I wont stop, I'm just saying...absolutely amazing!

[Runi Ne'tra]

I noticed you put Version 1 in the thread topic.  Are you going to be changing it up any time soon?

[Hydra]

Thanks soooo much guys! It means so much to me to have it finally "done" after so many years. The compliments really melt my heart as well! I'll be a little short on time to comment, as I was at work from 5 AM to about 11 AM and in college courses from about 12 PM - 7 or 10PM and will be until D*Con... *dies*

The cape is made from linen, meant to be light and fluttery, I plan to drag it around in some dirt though, so it won't be so damn clean.
And yeah! I plan on adding some bicep straps with boxes, as well as another belt to the hips, eventually though.
You can see them in the concept art. Not all the details are the same, no, but that's alright, I went more with the functionality route:
