Drizzt's offical art armor
We know the quality of the offical art has a track record of being full of mistakes from Drizzt as a ugly old pale man in the original Dark Elf trilogy covers to Artemis Entreri depicted as white still to this day.
But where does Drizzt wearing that specific segmented leather armor with the loin cloth piece come from? It is in multiple official artworks so it's definitely included in some WotC design doc.
But in the books Drizzt is frequently mentioned to wear a mithril chainmail shirt with no other descriptions of body armor.
So why the leather armor instead of chainmail?
