Project Inspiration
A classic figure of any gamer’s childhood, our hero Link is known for his signature green tunic-- but he has a variety of other attire, including the Magic Armor that is a bonus item at the end of Twilight Princess.
​
The immense detail of Twilight Princess, paired with my desire to learn armor smithing, provided a perfect opportunity to play with thermoplastics and dive into detailing.
Project Details
-
Custom patterned machine embroidery (tabard)
-
Thermoformed & sculpted armor parts
-
Functional leather ties for the armor

Embroidery Progress
The tabard was a multi-hoop embroidery project, digitized in SophieSew and then run on my XL-400.
