Faint Shinyness
I drew a bunch of ideas on paper, but only 3 of them carried over to digital format and color...
Right now it leans towards the first design, just because i want some massive brass-portion, and not just a bunch of lines :3

I also found a nice polish to polish my brass scales with so they shine like red gold... more work!
Will bring pics next time. And chocolate.

What is the Shiny?

On the very first larp we drew some attention, mainly because of the good weather. The sun makes the armor look like cheap tinfoil-armor from a distance, but once you're up close enough to make out the scales... It's a sight to be seen. I've even had someone walk up to me, stare at my shiny chest and proclaim "You're stupid. Just... stupid." and then walk off. :3
As I said earlier, this was many years ago. I have since bought a new batch of scales (the second print, which is softer and not plated on both sides... let's hope it doesn't rust), and also a small batch of brass scales to line the edges with.
Inspired by Kaz (http://of-bronze-and-bone.blogspot.com/) and her astonishing piece of work, I decided to finally put the new scales to use.
The plan is:
- Expand the vest for my slightly larger chest. (Yes, I have grown... how inconvenient :/ )
- Build downwards to make it longer, less vest-like and more armor-like.
- Add a collar (in Kaz's fashion, because it just looks awesome)
- Possibly redo the shoulders, after seeing Kaz's solution.
- Add a few rows of brass scales to every "border" (bottom, arms and neck).
I have a deadline of May 10th. It might prove quite impossible, so I'll attempt one thing at a time...
First comes expansion of the chest area.
