I've noticed a tendency for "armor" in movies to be made out of rubber or something. That's in John Carter, also in Immortals, where the hero takes off his armor, I think, and its basically a car floor mat.

You'd think with all the post-processing magic they can do now in films, it wouldn't be so obvious. Concerned with bigger details, I guess.

Hello to all fine gents here!
I'm new to the fore and found this forum just by chance and by reading the posts, man what a fiery crowd. I'm an illustrator...professional?...well, I don't put bread on the table with that, so I guess I'm way behind your expectations...but yes, I'm an illustrator of sorts, I do sci-fi and fantasy...and YES, Conan is one of my favorite characters, even if I am a 52 year old fart, My martial arts days are behind me and I tend to regard the world now with a kind of a cinic look.Therefore, subjecting my work to you guys, would be a lesson in FLAC. You see, you would destroy my stuff...but nevertheless it would be interesting to read what you would say about my endeavors unto the fantasy realm in general and the Conan realm in particular. Don't be kind or try to be nice...bring in the iron and fire and let me weep.
If interested in checking it out, here're the links:
http://www.artsinpixels.blogspot.com
http://www.renderosi...?username=dante
And more to come.
Ok. why do I do what I do, concerning armor...I have studied armor since forever...I have hundreds of pictures of medieval armor and actually I have a nissei friend who makes medieval armor and another one, a westerner who makes japanese swords...go figure....
Anyway, I'm glad I hit this site...and hope to hear from you people...
Cheers and all the best
BTW, if you want to post any image of mine here, do so...it would be an honor no matter if good or BAD citiques will enssue

Hehehehe...you can say that again...but hey I do what I do and really, I don't care about the market...I can do all that just for fun and as long as some people enjoy what I do that's enough reward...I'm past the "money earning" phase...I lead a simple but full life and couldn't care less for fame or fortune.

Hey, Gaijinn, as long as you don't care about the market, or fame or fortune, take a look at my Conan screenplays (see my signature for the link). I would love to see you illustrate them, and I promise absolutely no fame or fortune. There is no possible market for my Conan screenplays.
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

that's what bugs me the most in movies, they almost never wear gambeson under plate
or mail
& believe me gambeson are a must when wearing thos type or armor

Brother, before I even subscribed, I had allredy taken a peek at your scripts, and yes, we may still do something together...just for the fun of it...no fame nor fortune, maybe even no glory, LOL, but fun, for sure.
