HorsehairBraider Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Once again, stunning artwork. What sort of finish do you use? You seem to get such a nice "glow" on all your pieces. Will you still remember us when you are rich and famous? :D Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.

ETW Grumpy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, that is really amazing. I agree with Drac, I'd do something to all the rivets so they don't distract from the overall look. You do really amazing work. How many hours do you have in this and how much leather? Is this functional? Could someone actually walk around in it or do activity like LARP? Would it be reasonably comfortable to wear? Quote
Alexblow Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Like usual from Azmal,AMAZING job!what can i more say :WAOUW... I'm also curious about how many sq/foot af leather you use,dye etc...

Members DJole Posted January 22, 2008 Members Report Posted January 22, 2008 A very nice piece indeed! The design is excellent, and the modeling is very good too. Fantasy armor isn't my thing (I like the real stuff better) but that armor is very nice to look at, since it actually hovers at the border between function and fantasy. I hope that wasn't all handstitched... Are you sure you don't work for WETA? ;-) I am curious about your coloring--do you use an airbrush? Quote \D.

Members Prince Posted January 22, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2008 First up, this -is- real, 100% functional : ) A person can do cartwheels in armor I make, even with those crazy huge shoulders. Joints articulate properly and even the finger joints move. Of course I don't need to point out it is completely fantasy and not historical. But it does have some foundation in historical design. The breastplate is similar to lorica for instance, the arms are somewhat historical, legs too. Just has cool stuff stacked on it. Materials.... How much dead cow did I use? Geez, I dunno, seems like I went through half a dozen double shoulders... this suit just kept on eating and eating the leather. But I have no idea really... I try to keep track of things, but I just get caught up in the project and this one had a really tough deadline to start with. Finish I use is super shene. Think that was all the questions.

Members unicornwoman Posted January 30, 2008 Members Report Posted January 30, 2008 I can't find your website. You simply MUST post that pix on your site so I can forward the link to my non-leathercrafter friends. It is just too wonderful not to share!!!!! Quote Melody D.
