D&D Modeling Project - Week 1

This is my first post, so let me start by introducing myself: The names Eric and I'm currently a student at IADT studying Game Design. This current project is for my Character Modeling class. The theme for the project is Dungeons & Dragons, so I've decided to model a Drow.

This guy's armor that he's got on is pretty inspiring. As far as clothing for the character goes, this is a nice reference image. At the moment, I'm undecided as to whether I'm going to model the character in armor similar to this or in lighter clothing that would be more practical and doesn't restrict movement as much. He is an elf-type race after all and they're known for their swift and acrobatic movements.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/21989741/Dragon_382_-_Winning_Races:_Drow

This image I found on wizards.com and is also interesing. I'll continue to search for more reference and do a couple sketches before I ultimately decide what the character will look like.
