I must ask, how do you come up with your designs? I've downloaded a few websites of real weapons to help me, but i guess I still lack the imagination. Must be a "chick" thing I guess.
Do you have anymore armor styles tucked away in your imagination? I'd like to see what else you can come up with??

Malessa-
Some of it is that I do have a rather vivid imagination. I also have an extremely large library of reference books. Many of them out of print, some from the 19th century. I have more than my local library.
I've been studying real world and fantasy style weapons my whole life (I'm 38).
When it comes to the actual designs I tend to just let my mind wander. Sometimes I head down a certain thought path. For example the Square and Triangle Axes are such. I thought to myself, "What would an axe look like if it *wasn't* evolved out of a wood working tool?" I probably think more about weapons than is healthy.
One of the odd things is that I started drawing again two days ago after a break of almost 15 years. The last five pieces that I posted were down over the last two days. The Sunwheel Axe before I went to bed this morning (I work nights). I've just been inspired lately. And with a scanner I can share if I want. I just hope I don't bore people silly with them.
I'll see if I can come up with any armour ideas. Anything you are looking for?
