female armor design – Page 4 – Bikini Armor Battle Damage

Love my character on Black Desert but omg I hate when she smiles xD
I wonder what @bikiniarmorbattledamage would think of her armour, considering she’s the sorceress and is meant to be in melee range.

This armor looks kind of familiar…. only it’s actually less practical. Somehow.

Based off the changes, I think in another 27 years we’ll see “armor” that is just basically a copy of the costume from a certain music video also released in 1989.

I’m so glad we have people out there looking to make sure nobody encroaches on mainstream video games’ creative freedom.

Crashlands (Steam) is a ridiculous game that is tongue-in-cheek about almost everything, and yet still seems to display a greater understanding of gender issues and armor than most.

“He knows how to design female armour because he spent years studying corsetry and lingerie.”

Me:

The scariest part of this is that so many of these concept artists who seem to “study” corsetry lingerie tend to overlook some basic details about the universal design principles:

Boobs are not excluded from physics, especially gravity
Lingerie is not generally held on by superglue
Women need to breathe and need internal organs
Different materials have different qualities, you can’t swap out silk or soft leather for steel in… sensitive areas

So yeah… horrifying as it is, studying corsetry and lingerie would actually be a step forward in many cases.

Meg Foster’s costume weighed a reported 45 lbs., and the actress sustained bruises to her groin from the breastplate she wears throughout the film. Constructed of fiberglass, Foster has said the breastplate restricted her movements a great deal, which is why Evil-Lyn is never show sitting during the film. Foster as also said that the discomfort from the costume helped inform her performance, as the weight and design of the costume forced her to puff out her chest during every take, thus generating the character’s slinky posture.

But people assure us that designs like this are totally practical for real armor…
