Here is the end result of the 'Black and Silver' commission. *edit -> Have since added gauntlets and a helmet to complete this armor. *
We've got the breastplate with wet molded 'muscled' chest. Articulated cuirass. Lots of carving and embossing. Incredibly solid with a lot of overlapped plates and hardening. High Collar Cool new Pauldron design Greaves with high knee Unusual sabbaton design Scale 'Super Skirt' with hundreds of 'floating' scales where each of which are hand molded and, dyed, painted, studded, and assembled. Incredibly solid and a bit heavy but doesn't restrict movement at all. It's got full articulated arms with the elbow cop, vambrace, and rerebrace. Similar to metal plate designs. This is the first set of armor where I've tooled the Prince Armory logo into it. Shows up nicely in this pic.
The mannequin doesn't wear the armor well at all. As usual. 90% of the armors I make are commissioned and are made to fit a certain person. A disproportioned 6' 4" mannequin doesn't really do the armors justice. I think there will be an immense difference when the intended wearer of this piece and hopefully they'll get some photos to me.
All leather construction by the way held together with rivets, chicago screws, and floating retaining straps.
Design and intricate work by me but a a lot of props go to my assistant and friend, Chris, on this one for a lot of the work on it.
It doesn't have a name but if it had the right type of helmet I'd probably want to call it the "Leather Iron Man" armor haha Or at least leather 'tin man' heh
I'm just blown away by your artistry and skill. This truly is a masterpiece. Most impressive feature to me - the thigh-guards, that's just pure dragon scales: gorgeous and impenetrable.

Wow! I love the collar on the breastplate. I see that sort of thing quite often in art work but never have i seen it done on an actual suit of armor. The entire thing is so beautiful.

The greaves and sabbatons here are my favorite part. I would wear those babies at any chance I got! The pauldrons, while not being of my *personal* taste, look extremely great. And the "P" emblem is so ornate and beautiful, great job!
Methinks it needed something extra on the gauntlets though. Full armor seems like it should really have full gauntlets (which seem to be the only missing part, aside from the helmet).
But seriously. Beautiful greaves, and an overall nice job. I usually am not all that impressed with leather armor (I would MUCH rather wear steel, as a personal prefferance), but you have quite the impressive work.
love it one question are you hardening the leather or just molding it ? dont have to tell me how to harden lreather i know that trick was just wondering if it was hardened
