There’s always space for yet another armor tutorial, right? (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Note that the armor I drew would be worn around 15th century, the more into the future the less and less components knight’s armor had (i. e. in early 14th century instead of greaves a knight would wear long boots only; in 12th century knights didn’t wear plate breastplates and instead a chain mail only). Also the design of armor pattern changed by year and was different in every country (i.e. in eastern Europe armors, while still looking European, were heavily influenced by Turkey). so just make sure you always do research whenever drawing an armor. And one more thing to keep in mind is that armors were expensive, knights wearing a full plate armor weren’t an often sight.

Some links that may be useful:

Armour Archive (I strongly suggest to browse its forum, there is no country or period of which armor wouldn’t be discussed)

Therion Arms (armorer’s page; each accessory is photographed in big resolution and several time so it’s a nice page to use as reference for drawing)

Revival Clothing (another store, but both with medieval clothing and armors; I suggest to read the articles, they’re often supported with pictures)

Basic Armouring:A Practical Introduction to Armour Making (pdf)

Educational Charts (pdf, shows how armors and weapons changed over the years)

Medieval & Renaissance Material Culture (actual medieval resources, mostly paintings. And my favourite subpage - women in armor)

Dressing in Steel (youtube; a demonstration how to dress in armor)

How shall a man be armed? (youtube; another demonstration but with 4 different knights from different periods)

Can you do a tutorial on drawing knight armor? Both for male and female bodies, please.

for learning to draw armor i’d use a similar approach to the one i used for drawing swords!

again, there are two main things i’d suggest focusing on:-studying the different parts of an armor and how they workand-visualizing the armor as 3d shapes

i found some sites that go over things like armor parts and their functions here and here, a lot of nice photo reference here, and a bunch of labelled diagrams on google images

i couldn’t find any clear image reference for how medieval armor is layered but you can see that in this video of a guy getting armor put on

basically though i think its a bit like this:

there is a lot of liberty you can take with the details, shapes, and proportions etc, (also remember, medieval europe isn’t the only era armor comes from!) so you can use that to communicate things like the time period and culture the armor is from, the personality of its wearer, etc.

with simplifying armor into 3d shapes i’d basically just use a regular human body as a base. having a decent grasp of anatomy really helps with this i think

there is technically little or no difference between actual male/female armor, from the way i understand things at least (armor is just armor after all), but you can take a look at this post of mine for strategies you can use to make armor look more masculine or feminine

and then of course there’s that boob plate thingthere are reasons why those don’t really work in real life but you could always pull out the artistic liberty card so

I love that exclusionists keep saying “ACES AND AROS SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN COMMUNITY! IT’S NOT LIKE IT’S THAT HARD!!” when it took LGBT+ DECADES to even get recognized as a legitimate thing.

colorisbyshe

I’m never not amused by how fucking pathetic the ace community acts.

It took the LGBT community fucking decades because there were laws against us, people were (and are!) killing us, we were being arrested and forcibly institutionalized, many of us were closeted or forced into conversion therapy, and we didn’t have any organizational tools besides newsletters and meeting up in actual real life spaces which was really hard because a lot of us risked losing our jobs if we were outed. This is when our safe spaces were raided by cops, we had to fucking come up with codes/passwords to ensure our safety (see: friends of dorothy), and we were, y’unno,being affected by a fucking plague that the government literally just let happen. Oh? By the way, we couldn’t actually make media or newsletters reflecting our experiences for much of this time, as obscenity laws made it illegal/impossible to create content that reflected our lives in a positive way. Spreading that content by mail could literally be punished by law.

Meanfuckingwhile, asexuality hit the mainstream in the early 2000s, after “My Life as an Amoeba” had been published in 1997. Web groups immediately popped up, including but not limited to AVEN. In the 15+ years asexuality has been relevant, mainstream society has just fucking eating y’all up. Two maybe asexual characters, Jughead and Raphael. Buzzfeed and HuffPo are shitting out articles about asexuals and sapiosexuals every single fucking day.

No laws were made against you in response to your identity becoming more public, no outcry or hate groups have formed. No one has batted a fucking eyelash.

If you can’t fucking organize in the era of fucking twitter and facebook groups, with exactly fucking zero laws against you… that’s on you.

But don’t you EVER fucking say “it’s too hard for a group that includes literal cis straight people to organize, so let’s make the LGBT people do it for us.”

When you say it’s too fucking hard, you’re saying LGBT people should take on the brunt of it. When you say it’s too fucking hard, you think we should give our blood, sweat, and tears to literal cis straight people because it’s not easy getting strangers to give a single flying fuck about how much you don’t experience sexual attraction.

Know why it’s hard for asexual to organize?

It’s because there’s no fucking reason to create community around how little sexual attraction you feel.

There’s no cause to rally around. No meaningfully shared experiences. No culture. No hate groups to counter. There is no ace experience and there is no anti-ace sentiment off tunglrhell.cum.

There’s literally nothing to bring you together because society has never given a single fuck about how much sexual attraction you feel. It just doesn’t. That’s why it took til 1997 for y’all to even think about creating a community. Lonely fucking nerds who played D&D and were mocked about it had more reasons to organize than y’all ever did. At least people were actively mean to them.

So, y’unno what, you get no fucking sympathy from me.

If it’s too hard, try harder. Get the fuck over it. Walk it off.

these ppl never think that maybe there was /a reason/ it was hard for us to create a community.

#this is fuckrd #like wtf #why is the lgbtq+ community so hateful?

Muhammad Ali requested that his star not to be put on the sidewalk, because he didn’t want people to walk on him. They honored his request.

nocuer

It was done because he didn’t want people stepping on the prophet’s name. This was not an act of vanity.

Some important words about the Dream Daddy release delay. Please remember that this is a dev team of less than thirty people, who haven’t done this before. They’re working their damndest to provide a good game. You are not entitled to having this game, so chill your cheezits and be patient.

“artists dont work for the love of art anymore, they just rely on commissions and patrons”

this is how art has literally always been the fucking sistine chapel is commissioned fanart of the bible

optimysticals

Not only was the Sistine Chapel Bible fanart, but the Vatican looked at Michaelangelo'Cathedral commission listing and saw that it said: Will do: Marble sculpture Would prefer not to do: Painting

And commissioned him for a giant ass painting. Like yeah, we think of Michaelangelo as a painter, but it’s because the church kept paying him to paint. He thought he wasn’t that great at it. He preferred to sculpt. Like that was his jam. But noooooo the church wanted more paintings.
