When it comes to nerdy bucket lists, creating and wearing a suit of wearable Skyrim armor right out of the video games is likely right up there. Gamers with a taste for magic and fantasy have sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into the world of Skyrim, but none quite like cosplayer Chris Wolvie, who goes by the online handle of Zerios88.
While other gamers were going on in-game quests, Wolvie was in the studio, putting together this beast of a costume. The dedication to craft with this Daedric Skyrim armor is readily apparent. From the meticulously crafted weapons, to every single piece of armor including boots, greaves, chest piece and imposing helmet, this is a costume of myth and legend that will be passed down through the ages -- or at least the Internet anyway.
