again, there are two main things i’d suggest focusing on: -studying the different parts of an armor and how they work and -visualizing the armor as 3d shapes
i found some sites that go over things like armor parts and their functions here and here, a lot of nice photo reference here, and a bunchoflabelleddiagrams on google images
there is a lot of liberty you can take with the details, shapes, and proportions etc, (also remember, medievaleuropeisn’ttheonlyera armor comes from!) so you can use that to communicate things like the time period and culture the armor is from, the personality of its wearer, etc.
with simplifying armor into 3d shapes i’d basically just use a regular human body as a base. having a decent grasp of anatomy really helps with this i think
there is technically little or no difference between actual male/female armor, from the way i understand things at least (armor is just armor after all), but you can take a look at this post of mine for strategies you can use to make armor look more masculine or feminine
and then of course there’s that boob plate thing there are reasons why those don’t really work in real life but you could always pull out the artistic liberty card so
So my friends and I were talking about Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, and I wanted to say that I found Antonio Banderas’ voice attractive, but I accidentally said Puss and now they all think I’m a fucking furry.
ALWAYS REBLOG WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLEASE; ITS SO MUCH MORE THAN IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE. IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO SOMEBODY AND EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THIS IN THE SAME LIGHT, SOMEONE MIGHT. INFACT YOU REBLOGGING THIS COULD STOP SOMEONE TAKING THEIR LIFE TONIGHT.
So my village has a charity christmas fair on the last sunday before christmas every year. My sister is in charge of organizing prizes for the lottery/tombola, and she always writes to local businesses to donate items, gift cards, whatever. The companies are usually really generous, it's awesome. First prize is s flat screen tv from a electronics dealer.
We have one shop for home decor that's sadly giving up its business, and donated a whole box of glass decorations.
Among them, this glass shrimp. In a fancy jewelry box.
I'm the only one who loves him 🥺❤. My sister wanted to throw it in the bin because 'who would want a glass shrimp'.
So.
Like and Reblog if you'd want to win a glass shrimp in a tombola, i guess? Let's save him from the bin!
