How a Knight Shall Be Armed
WIPeroni, probably got to retrieve the PSD from school next week so I can get back to working on this. She’s the third one in my Bishop family tree project.
Still needs a lot of work, I see the most pressing issues in her arms and hands.

After months of trying to draft the sleeve myself, I'm resorting to tracing a sleeve that I know already works. Hopefully I can just resize it a little.
I have very little guilt because this designer was incredibly rude to my friend who was asking about buying a Burgundian gown last year.
The finished gambeson for the armor project! The fasteners are not my best work, but it’s been ages since I’ve done any jewelry-related art, and the wire was really stiff, so overall I’m happy with it. It’s nowhere near actually historically accurate: I didn’t quilt in near enough the amount of layers of cloth required to make a real arming doublet, nor did I really want to have to do any quilting at all. Instead I just lined it with fleece to make it puffy), like the armor it’s mostly just based on fantasy/historical vibes. I’m kind of tempted to make proper cloth arming doublet some day, or try to imagine up what an ancient greek linothorax might have looked like
(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3s20n5O_38) looks like a solid tutorial on how to attach arming points to an arming vest or gambeson!! :D
