Minecraft fashion lineup

(I drew this before the copper update and had to go back and shove copper in there-)

i REALLY like the idea of hadrian actually being tim to be the big reveal of chapter 8 instead of tim not actually being real in the first place, i do still like the normal reveal but GOD is this one much better.

I started drawing this armor a long time ago and with big plans, but then it became painful... but still, I decided to finish it.

I draw all armor sets for a specific character and for my specific AU, but that's for another time...

The Souls of Black design for iron armor!

Iron armor is the second strongest tier of armor, with the strongest tier being diamond armor. Unlike diamond armor, iron armor has rounder edges, and is size-adjustable even after being crafted to a person's specifications, with the leather straps it has attached to it.

I haven't drawn it yet, but have some fun facts associated with iron armor:

- When in armor sets of any kind, people for the most part are indistinguishable from one another, save for if they have longer hair, which would peek out from the helmet. To get around this, people across all Biomes tend to paint iron armor in specific colors or with specific symbols, to show things like allegiance and rank. Some people, mostly Outcasts, tend to use nature to decorate their armor if applicable. Reaper and her friends slip flowers into their belts to signal who they are to each other while armored.

- All armor sets appear in the same way when summoned to a person's body from their reserve. Shadows wrap around the parts of the body the armor will cover, then the armor itself appears in plates floating around the person, and prompts snaps onto the shadows. These shadows come from The Black, and act like a layer of extra padding between the armor and the body. It feels almost like cloth, but a poor imitation of it.

- When all armor is summoned at once, the armor settles onto the body from the feet to the head. When summoned, armor plates are physical when floating in the air, and haven't yet attached to the body.

- When the helmet forms, shadows simply go over the person's eyes to line up with the visor, as the helmet forms with the visor down. For people with longer hair, when the helmet forms their hair gets automatically braided, though the hairstyle can be changed if the person wills it.

Let me know what you think! :)

Vee's End Update Pt. 5 - Scalemail Armor (pt. 2/3 of the Scale Saga)

Scalemail is a new armor set made with Dragon Scales, a new ore for the End i talked about here. To craft it, you first need to find a Scalemail Upgrade template, found rarely in either End Cities or... another structure we'll talk about someday ;). This Smithing Template can then be duplicated with 1 Obsidian and 7 Dragon Scales, instead of Diamonds.

Unlike Netherite, which is an upgrade of Diamond Armor, Scalemail is upgraded from a base of Chainmail Armor, taking a Dragon Scale instead of a Netherite Ingot. This both helps to set Scalemail apart from the other upgradeable gear set, and give an extra reward for finding this rare treasure Armor Set, and giving these four forgotten items a new use!

Scalemail Armor is, however, not Netherite, just as Chainmail is not Diamond. After the upgrade, Scalemail is put on par of the stats of Diamond Armor, but trading out diamond's Armor Toughness stat for a slight bit of magic resistance, lessening the damage from potions, dragon's breath, guardian lasers, evoker fangs, and ender pearl teleporting (which I think as of this upgrade should now be classified as magic damage instead of Fall Damage, which for some reason it is!), among other things.

Sure, Scalemail is not the end-all super-challenge gear set that Netherite is, but it is a viable endgame armor set that still has Chainmail's transparency, making it useful for showing off your skin and showing off that you've been to the End! Sure, its largely aesthetic and not the Best gear set in the game, but I'm sure this quirky little offshoot will be appreciated by those who love Chainmail's transparency and want it to be more viable <3

And who knows, there may be another use for upgrading Chainmail to Scalemail in my future plans!

But rest assured, this isn't... the main use of Dragon Scales. That we will cover in another post :3

Some sketches I did a while ago of Reaper in her netherite armor on Apochryphal SMP! Still rather proud of this, even if I may redo my netherite armor design :)

Armor design and references beneath the cut <3

Base netherite

And Reaper's specific amethyst trims, alongside a cool knight armor texture pack I have on that I took inspiration from! May still redesign the armor though, to be more protective like my current redone diamond armor design is <3

[some-mother-series-fan]

This is entirely prompted by the fact we got beta netherite textures but have my attempt at some programmer art-style versions of both the beta and final designs for the armor, in both palettes

THIS IS ABOUT TO BE A NEW VANILLA FEATURE
