Description
NOTE: THAT IS NOT ME!!Stock image found here [link]
This here is a concept piece. Me my wife and a couple friends are going to ren-fair this year in costume. So this is my first attempt at a suit of armor design. I took the stock image and painted on top of it, I'll probably have several of these soon and move them to scraps before too long.
What do you think? I was going for a bit of an orient feel with a touch of western. The Lamellar armor is a bit larger of a plate than standard but I figure it will cut down on make time and gives it a different look. The 'gauntlets' are a variation of clam shell gauntlets. The pants wont be jeans but I didn't feel like altering that part of the pic. Oh and my hair is long and brown, not short and blond.
This will be made from a cut up and heat formed 55 gallon plastic drum. Since it's white I will dye it dark red and distress it accordingly.
Suggestions and critique more than welcome!!

I'm inadequate to make any suggestions on this kind of work, I just wanted to say that ALL of your designs are impressive. Really great work, on the armor, the comics and especially the Fallout stuff!

Kinda looks like a suit of armor from a timeline where the Romans lasted long enough to have their empire reaching all the way to China (or Central Asia, at least).
Lovely work as always.

Woah... Romans taking over a culture that invented the Kama Sutra... Bath Houses would have to have handle bars and climbing ropes installed.

Actually, I think the Indians invented the Karma Sutra, didn't they?

Well, history is a pretty important thing to catch up on if you ask me.
