I was thinking about a set of armor based on a set of armor in the game and based on the type of armor in game but is my own design but I would be using photo reference for the leg and shoulder armor from the game along with buying a helmet model from a destiny prop maker. Basically a set of armor based on destiny armor with my own designed chest piece but using customized leg and shoulder armor and a helmet from the actual game.
To me, customization is the name of the game. If you can't make it yours, what's the fun of making it in the first place? I don't mean to downplay or worse yet brush of those who focus on game-accurate builds, but what really catches my eyes are the custom builds, whether it's modifications to the armor itself or even something as simple as a custom paint scheme. If you've got an itch to do something off the grid, I say go for it full speed.
