You’ve seen the belt, the mantle, and the over robes. Now it’s time for the final piece to my masterwork. It took me a long time to settle on a design for the base robe that all the others would be worn over. I wanted it to be opulent, but not too busy. I wanted…

So you’ve seen the belt, and you’ve seen the mantle, but you’re wondering about those layers of robes underneath? Cool your jets, I’ve got what you’re looking for right here. Today I’m going to show you the sleeveless robe for the fanciest damn wizard you’ve ever met! Now just as a reminder: this first image…

I’ve mentioned the Wizard robes project in my post about the belt. I wanted to talk about the design of the overall project a little. So this here is the original concept sketch for the full set of wizard robes that I’ve been making over the course of this year. I’ve already finished the sash…

I said that I’d make another post where I talked more about the tooling I did on the Utility Quiver: Why I picked the symbols that I did, that sort of thing. The first thing to know is that this isn’t just a generic example of what I can do. It is made to fit…

So over the holidays I set out on a pretty big endeavor. I had two problems to solve. First I needed a compact way to transport all of the gear for a particular character’s costume.
