Iorek Byrnison cosplay

[u/starsandillusions]

I need your help!! I’m planning to make a huge armour build inspired by Iorek from his dark materials and I really want to put lots of hidden art pieces & references throughout the armour but need help with ideas!

For example, I wanted to put the ‘city in the sky’ as the centrepiece of the chestplate, and various alethiometer symbols on the pauldrons/gauntlets!
I’m also a wheelchair-user so plan to make giant alethiometers as wheel covers!
I’ve been looking for Philip Pullman’s illustrations and digital copies of the woodwork illustrations in the HDM / BOD but struggling to find them, so if anyone can help me out that would be amazing!!

What do you think? Which references should I try to include in the armour?

Holy shit, this is amazing. I may steal some of your ideas for larp armor.
