NICE!

BTW: put a '?' after the address line (just like Geocities) and the pics show just fine.

My only suggestion is not to scatch any itches while wearing them!
If you rivet a small patch of leather near the end of each finger it makes it a lot easier to sew them onto gloves.
Nice work.

Use the old ? trick. Put ? on the end of the line of the address.

Actually, they're rather nice, in a Burgundian-Gothic fusion sort of way. I wouldn't mind having a pair....if they were in Stainless, that is. Well done!

They are very menacing and different, but still look like armour. I especially like the fluting, would like to see something similar, but with longer cuffs, almost a vambrace.

What I got, with or without question mark, was the site of a Swedish travel agency.

Thanks everyone, now i know they arent totally off...
next ones will be in 1,2mm though...
the fluting is from bending them over an edge and then bending them back, i diskovered it and thought it looked nice... Image
i agree that longer more narrow cuffs would be nice...
ill think of that if there's a next time...
but how long?

travelagency? im supprised...
well, not much to do about...

I am thinking about having gauntlets made with a cuff lika a bazuband, all the way to the elbow. Probably not practical and I am not sure if I will ever get up the scratch for a fantasy harness. It will be ages before I am good enough to make it myself.

You have a very evil looking friend, I can see why he's doing drow!

Nice work.
