Help with a themed build

http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=142262743286663151

I've basically used just about every armor combination in this game to make a good looking build so i'm out of ideas really.

Any suggestions on what armor i could use for a 'dark' character theme?
I have a perfect one which is the Golem Head>Black Cleric torso>Black Manchette>Golem Legs but they're used for another build.

And lastly, i don't want to change the stats. Just ideas for armor combination.

Now I can't quite remember if it is Dark leggings and Gauntlets of thorns, or, Leggings of thorns and Dark gauntlets, But this looks pretty dastardly.

I suddenly feel like using the Sack but not many armor combos work well with it that gives decent defense/poise and still have that 'dark' look.
I would honestly prefer something that doesn't use the usual Dark/Thorn combo.

I've yet to see this set for myself, but I imagine it would look well. It lacks poise though, but adding any heavier gear would cause it to be mid-roll.

^I've used that combination too.
I happen to have two alternate version as well. One is a with the Gold Hemmed hood and Black Knight leggings.

The other is Velka>Black Knight torso & gauntlets>Channeller leggings.

Perhaps this one will prove more successful (though, I better wait until I can actually see the set for myself, before I make any further suggestions)

Alternatively, you could replace the mask with a witch hat.

Well, looks like i really have used pretty much every combination, lol.
Thanks everyone for your help anyway. Maybe i'll go naked with this build. =3

the armor combo i wear for my darksword quality build is…

…Helm of Thorns
…Artorias Armor
…Gauntlets of Thorns
…Havel's Leggings

The designs doesn't really balance themselves well enough. Plus it's pretty generic, no offense of course.

My main toon is SL300 with 99 dex, so I can rock that with a heavy weapon.

I've used this certain combo before but i've decided to go with it.

Paladin Head>Xanthous torso>Leather gauntlets>Knight Leggings

this is what i've wearing for my strength build, probably a bit heavy for your build and it's not well optimized, but it looks good.

…Fanged Boar Helm
…Balder Armor
…Guardian Gauntlets
…Guardian Leggings

Edit: or this actually, I always like throwing on goughs gauntlets when I dual wield
