20 Images of Women in Practical Armor

[Unorthodox]

That's looking pretty good.  Think the mail just needs to come "up" a bit so it appears to be thicker than/on top of the cloth, rather than the present transition. 

[Mylochka]

Yes, I can create a displacement map that will make the mail a little more dimensional.  That should improve the look.

[Valka]

...BTW Val, I'm a bit hurt that you nit-pick an undiplomatic statement I made and display no interest so far in the design I slaved over drawing and explaining...

When I've got time, I'll re-read the thread from the start.

It's not a lack of interest in this, but lack of time to be everywhere.

[Mylochka]

I like the look of this armor.  Don't know how practical it is...

[Buster's Uncle]

Bits of chainmail over/edging cuir boli leather could work - but they had to do loose strips of chainmail down the front.  That's a close-and-looks-nice, but no, ma'am.


-I'm going to try to start on a doll-scale rendition of my armor design today.  There are to be pictures and how-to instructions in the project thread I plan...

[Rusty Edge]

I like that picture, too.
Great. I'm looking forward to the new thread.

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh, it LOOKS great.  I love her celtic hair, her complexion fits the northern-looking setting, and so does the armor style, somewhat.  -That's just a couple pounds of valuable metal in a useless configuration down the front that cost someone HOURS to make and sew on (for ornamental value)?
