Vote Complete! Fantasy Armor Challenge

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 14, 2008, 5:08 PM
It was a very close race in the end (As of 7 PM my time, it won by 3 votes!) but its time to wrap up the poll and the armor design that is to win this challenge is on the character Michael by :iconwen-m: Wen-M and was submitted by :iconenigmaticempress: EnigmaticEmpress





I have several motives for this challenge. One of which is because if I ever start doing work for movies, odds are there will be plenty of instances where I'll have to make the armor from a concepts artist's design instead of my own, so this will serve as great practice. I also knew which ever submission won would be very intricate and eye catching that would challenge and improve my skill. Additionally I thought it would get some extra exposure here on DA and I figured it would also serve to get the artist some extra traffic as well, but I didn't know who the submissions would be and of course I know Wen-M definitely doesn't need the extra traffic lol And of course it will make another good portfolio piece for me and hopefully everyone will enjoy seeing armor that was once beautiful art into a real life wearable and functional armor.

I'll be posting various updates along the way for anyone wanting to follow the progress of this set. I'll be ordering the leather after the weekend is over and starting on it soon and working on it alongside other commissions.

A big thanks to everyone who participated!

I have interest in talking to you about a commission, but wasn't able to get your "contact us" form to work on the WWW page (it's all configured for white text on a white background, as best as I can tell, so it's impossible to see what's being typed). If you drop me a line at aeto (at) chameleon.net, I'll go into details for what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

You're the second person who's said that. What is this Elric movie? I wish I had time to research it but right now I'm really swamped. But I wouldn't pass up a chance to do some movie work.

You mean the rivets? Definitely try to find a Tandy Leather store near you and pay them a visit. They can help you a lot more than I can. Half of what they do is to help people get into leather craft.
