Hello.
For reasons discussed in another thread, I am replacing armouring in my life with a 3-D Art AP Portfolio this year. I have just finished my third or fourth piece, and I was wondering whether I could post my work as it goes. There will be several raised pieces involved, much forging, glassblowing, and clay sculting and spinning. by march there will be 24 pieces total: 10 focusing on functional design, a 10 piece concentration on thbe concept of a "vessel" and ten on material and design variation/breadth. It's not armour, but it is armour substitute and has to do with metalwork and such crafts sooo...
here are two potential pieces, and I need to get my big metalwork one back from the Jewish Federation. The third or fourth is a big clay pitcher with a seashell form and a crazy octopus flipping out all over it. good fun,
merry being,
Archie

Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), where it was ruled in a 7-2 decision "Megalon's emission of lightning from his horn-like appendage did not constitute a violation of Godzilla's civil rights." (from the Majority opinion)
Looks like good fun! Stay creative, and concentrate particularly on methods of conceiving form! There are drawing exercises to that purpose in Nikolaides' The Natural Way to Draw.
Indeed, keep up the artistry. Armouring has a funny tendency to draw you back and/or the techniques you picked up (consciously or not) will tend to help you in other aspects of life. Like, say, making metal brackets for some new fangled project.
