Greetings,

First I would like to take a moment to comment on the armor. Whomever let this design go this far into concept needs to take a break, and rethink what a wookiee is.

I have better concept designs than this. Not critizing the artist, and I can see where you got general ideas for the armor.

Please do not use this design as its quite atrocious and as some of the others have said embarassing for a wookiee to wear.

Heres an idea, even if you will not take the time to ever read them.

How bout components (ie for different body parts, not interconnected) to the armor, if your trying to give the appearance of armor used in the forest against feral creatures that dwell there. Having armor pieces for the different body parts still enables you to get the wild wookiee look that your trying to ensure is not lost. Mixing the elements of nature and machines would also be a good idea, as in using metal framework, with fibers, bark, woven leaves, reeds, etc as the padded elements.

It seems your trying to hard to keep reeds as the primary element in the design, drop that idea, and have a mixture, using a modern yet natural look, dont be afraid to make it somewhat samuri in design, as it fits the the wookiees.

Well enough of my rambling, I hope that you may glance at this, and may throw it at someone, thus causing them to think a little before throwing out a woven basket armor idea to your loyal fans, and players.

Please don't make that Mickey Mouse looking, throw a a pillow on your back,a wash board on you chest, and a strainer on your head armor. Sure the wookiees make their armor out of trees and stuff, but you could at least come up with something that looks a little more hard core than the that. Givethe wookiees a little respect.
