Strom Coldsteel Armor

Really starting to get back to work on my armor set. So far I decided to start with the layers underneath. Doing a brown skirt under a black robe will give me some interesting contrast and I can adjust the length. Since the goal is basically warrior mage - Mister Strom Coldsteel, we definitely need a red cape. The original and oldest artwork simply had a few armor elements added.
