Right been at the shop all day and got a couple updates.
First up is the house crest. See if you can figure out with death metal bands logo I've completely destroyed to get something modestly evil looking :)

Second we've got a patterned inlay I've made for the chest which I'm hoping when it's all normal'd up it should look spanky. Going to brush some off it off and add some battle scarring and burns from some lazers and such, some inlay on the pads too, but not started that. Thinking maybe to go with the house crest.

And last up, got what I'm currently calling OUCH. Yep, the back with the skin bolted into place. It's not turned out looking quite as nice in this pic which is disappointing, but it's quite spanky apart from some of the bolts being a bit stretched. Gonna fix the skin up a wee bit to make it look a bit more dead. Been working some bruising into the area immediately outside the bolts for the time being. Just got to blend the blue in so it looks a bit more skin like and muscled as making it an overlay and such isn't looking as good as the original concept plan, so may just fanny about with the one I have already and etch it onto my back, though will obviously need to slim it down a little :)
