Custom Armor Set #1: DC's Nightwing

To start things off, I thought I'd show you the first armor set I've made that resembles a character from another franchise. Nightwing (whose real name is Dick Grayson) was the first of four different characters to portray Robin in the Batman comics. He eventually developed his own vigilante persona as Nightwing, utilizing dual nunchuks that could link together to form a staff. I've recreated his armor set to the best of my ability using armor pieces in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The result is displayed below:
