Magic Meat Week Day 1: Fantasy
Starting it off with your typical fighter who’s ready to swing his big sword at all his enemies! Oh and use his blade too I guess
Look at that sharp armor! It says so much about him and his and backstory. Those colors and shapes are obviously alluding to his fiery personality. I really love that thong of his that doesn’t have straps. Clearly, this fighter is a Machiavellian, only wearing what is absolutely necessary, and not bothering with frivolities like a shirt, or pants, or even garters! And with a sword like that, how can he be expected to wear plate or chainmail, let alone clothes? They would only hinder his movements.
Excellent job creating a unique and deep character!

Can you believe we never bingo’ed the Final Form of the wizard from Diablo 3? Well, fret no more! Where do I even start; this looks like a chafing apocalypse, honestly. Not only is she going to freeze in the icy locations, she’s going to get bitten by some zombie and contract an infection. And that’s if the zombies are kind and don’t bite her right on the femoral artery, which is nicely framed for those zombies that crawl on the ground.
But who needs protection when you have a vaguely skull-like cod piece thing?

Imagine all the armor she could wear if she just used the metal from her ridonculous headpiece for protecting her vital organs!

In
relation to the “Super Manga Matrix” book, I actually have a fairly
similar book called the “costume matrix” and well… It’s far more helpful
than what I’ve seen of the other book.its
basically the same concept, take a “base” clothing style (school
uniform, military uniform, japanese clothes, gothic/formal, casual,
foreign cultures) and mix it with another base, or with a “motif”
(animal, elements, scifi/mecha, seasons, plants).each section of
the book has one of the bases and combines it, usually showing at least
two designs (in terms of motifs though, there may be more than one
design but they would use something different i.e. having four school
uniform x animal examples but with four different specific animals) so
there’s a little more varietyIt’s
mostly a reference book rather than a “how to draw” and even then they
have a little brainstorming game using web diagrams and word association
to make a designIt’s got absolutely no escher girl posing however they do have a few slightly questionable designs
the worst of the bunch being this girl
it
is combining Military clothing as a base (specifically armor) and a
dragon and they got this. Granted its far better than what I’ve seen of
most womens’ armor(even by the same author) but it is a disappointing
one compared to everything elseI guess what I’m trying to say is, here is the same concept, with better designers
That’s really cool! And it does seem very helpful for brainstorming, especially since they show you a variety of combinations and bases!
The dragon armor amuses me, but I do like how the dragon design wraps around her, even if it’s bikini armor x3
Thanks for sharing!
Sigh, even in a practical interesting book that helps with costume design there had to be a physics-denying bikini armor, huh?
What upsets me the most is that this book’s idea works basically the same as @dogbomber‘s Lady Knight Generator, so the result could look like any of these awesome characters, yet this artist’s first idea for “dragon armor” was the underbooby thing in the last image :-/

@clarissadixonsart answering the important question: What if Fire Emblem Heroes had the same priorities for male character designs as they have for female ones?
Original design, for the record:
Quality redo, @clarissadixonsart! Thank you for making it and all the other ones! We’ll probably revisit a few some other Fridays 🙂

Now he can show off his beautiful… legs! How empowering~ ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

That is some good Empowerment leveling up! Love how the wings motifs expand into more and more of the armor as he levels up. Not to mention, how the more leveled-up armor frames his physique so well, which is the most important quality in armor. And those empowered poses! There’s nothing I don’t love about this. When are we going to see this kind of amazing armor in MMOs, game developers?
