Coalesced Ancient Armor

[davi]

co·a·lesce:
1) To grow together; fuse.
2) To come together so as to form one whole

Take a peroid of armor and mix it with something COMPLETELY different.

Examples:
Gladiator armory + WW2 German heer uniforms
Oriential armory + Telephone repairmen
Medeval knight armory + Cyborg robots of the future

The point is to expand your concept skills by mixing other elements into your designs. Stay clear of modern armor, like body pads and such and stick to the ancient styles. The choices are endless, the subject matter is as interesting as you make it, so start those drawings and show us what you got in you!

this is far from finished and i'm planning on doing more no doubt, but he is an american gi with armor.

the way i lookd at the piece was from the stand point of a paratrooper; They had massive packs and huge shapes on them so i went with that in my armor design. The helmet has a "bull" like horn cause the americans charged in quickly after the russians opened the gates.
I'll be making a russian design later with alot more detail, color and richness. This piece was ment for a design of a larger piece but i honestly don't like it much anymore.

davi - i really like that armored priest design, it reminds me of the Final Fantasy Tactics art - very groovy :)

Another amazing thread, davi. I'll have to contribute something tomorrow. Gonna bail and sleep for now. I love you, sweetheart.

I mean... uh.. I respect you in a platonic manner of camraderie. :eek:

Incredible stuff so far, guys. Huge props to mcotie, frost, and hardcorepixx for really pushing creativity along with magnificent execution. :chug:
