Skywing Gladiator Helmet concepts: Part 1

Part 2 ⬅️ more designs

To me, the Skywing arena was the most memorable parts of the first book, and I liked the idea of Scarlet having consistent champions outside of prisoners, like Peril, that were used as actual fighters. Similar to the Roman colosseum’s style of fighting.

With how extravagant Scarlet’s punishments, hatching day, etc. are described, (she loves her bloody entertainment & fan fair). There’s no way she’d allow for her champions to go undecorated in the arena. Additionally, Skywings are implied to be the most battle experienced tribe, so they should have armor that reflects this sentiment.

Aside from the lore drop, I absolutely love rendering metal & armor, this was just an excuse for me to do that lol. It’s very interesting trying to fit helmets to dragon anatomy opposed to human anatomy. Gotta accommodate for horns, ears, and the snout. Really cool learning how to work around it!

Along the rock-strewn roads Of Western Gash Through tracts of ash And streams of molten stone With pikes on guard They ride toward Blight-kissed Falasmaryon

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5

IT IS FINALLY DONE LADS!! The whole armour, with colour, Winter version and Summer version! It has been a blast, I've learned a ton and I can't wait to draw more Vimeses with this getup!

Thanks to all my online and offline friends and especially my brother for bouncing around ideas with me & cheering me on!

I'm immensely proud of how this has turned out and thank you all for the lovely tags and comments along the way! Hope you like the result as much as I do! :D

I have never drawn metallic armor or helmets before. This was an interesting experience. Also this is Sauron from the Middle Earth series.

Another favorite project of mine from last year, I designed and made this gambeson for a client based on their original character. We went through a couple of sketches and this is what we arrived at.

The piece itself is linen with a cotton twill lining and a wool blend bias binding.

If you're interested in commissioning a costume piece like this, you can email me at theomancycostuming@gmail.com

I imagine he's also party's surgeon, using illusion spells for anesthesia and paladin's healing spells to facilitate recovery.

In the Realm of the Damned (Vampire Hunter D)| 2024 | Traditional inks/CSP When in doubt, drown your sorrows in elaborate fanart! More of my favorite anime dhampir in his big stupid hat (affectionate). Inked on paper. Corrections, color, and retro, folded-poster-that-came-with-your-DVD overlays done in CSP. It had been a long time since I inked a full piece by hand, with washes and everything, and I had to re-learn a lot of forgotten tricks. But ! I've loved returning to physical media, even with the challenges it presented, and want to do more steps away from the computer over time.

Is it convenient? No! Is it good for me? Yes!

Anything for anime men.
