Skyrim Flame Atronach

[Darktemplar]

Ahh, in my Skyrim playing days there were only two things I feared: Flame Atronachs and anything that had lightning....usually mages lol. Your build is coming along nicely, and if you allow me to put in my two cents. A good way to hid the straps might be to match it to the color of your hair if your not going have any other head pieces, or possibly tuck it under your hair. Also, I would say no for the spine piece cause from the side it looks like it protrudes out more than where normal spine placement would be.

My skyrim playing days (Still playing lol), i ran into a burnt spriggan. Never had my arse handed to me so roughly. Then, i ran into wearbears. A little math for you
Werewolf<Werebear.

Although, to be fair, just becuase they're rare, i didn't prepare for the werebears there.

Ok, sewing isn't my most favorite thing so the seams are a bit wonky up close - luckily it doesn't show in pictures.
I gave it a test run as it is.
The main thing that needs to be fixed is shortening the mask strap across my head - the mask needs to sit a little higher on my face (I think that's the main problam with the not feminine look since it gives you more chin).
Especially with the smooth cap instead of my hair -as in the test run- the strap had a tendency to wander more to the front than it should have and the mask moving lower and lower.

Other than that I think I did my best without actually setting myself on fire ;p

Edit: Better pictures with more details. I have shortened the straps on the mask by now so the mask will sit a bit higher the next time I wear it.

EDIT: adjustments after the above image was taken included shorter straps on the mask and overall better and more comfortable fit - and gloves to cover my hands (still fingerless, a girl needs to be able to use her phone etc.)
