Members mrdabeetle Posted March 12, 2013 Members Report Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Hey guys and gals, I'm going to be releasing a pattern pack soon, and I was wondering what else I should include in the pack. So far, I have an assortment of pouches, weapon holders (axe, knife, sword hanger, etc.), vambraces (forearm armor), wristbands, headbands, drinking vessels, mug straps, and a couple of hats. These will be "CopyLeft" and do not require credit to myself. Anyone can freely distribute or alter the patterns in any way. The only thing that I ask is DO NOT SELL THE PATTERNS. Let me know what kinds of patterns you would like to see in the pack. I also have a few steampunk patterns, but I'm not sure that I want to release those just yet. Patterns are here Edited March 17, 2022 by Northmount Updated with link to patterns Quote
Members Fromdarkerwoods Posted March 13, 2013 Members Report Posted March 13, 2013 I have been making some armor, mostly from photo references but I am looking for patterns that have chest pieces. I have tried working from corset patterns but it hasn't worked yet. Steam punk patterns would be awesome to include! Quote
Members mrdabeetle Posted March 14, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 14, 2013 For female chest, you can use the torso section of a dress pattern, a bodice pattern, etc. You will need to choose a pattern that has seams that flow with the shape of the torso. For male armor, you would use a vest pattern and alter it where needed. I prefer to make a duct tape double of the person and make the pattern from it. Take a look here for the workflow of a replica leather chest and backplate. http://www.therpf.co...c-heavy-129624/ Also check out other people's work. Look and see where they put seams, how the parts are attatched, etc. Check out this gallery, he's a member here and does top notch work. http://azmal.deviantart.com/gallery/ Quote
