Armor sketches

 A few designs for a graphic novel I'm working on.
sorry for the low quality scans I'm in a transitional period with my computer and am currently without photoshop.

For this fist armor set i had a fast paced martial artist-type character. So i wanted the armor to not be too restrictive,  but i wanted something that would be very protective, so i though large plates over the chest, shoulder, and waist. For the swords i wanted large but light so i thought to have large holes to reduce the weight.

For the second armor set i thought more of a war hungry knight. So i wanted heavy plate/scale armor segmented to show muscle-type design.
the spear is is designed more as a decorative weapon maybe with a flag attached for the sake of intimidation.
the swords i wanted something more practical but still sharp edges and spikes so nothing to exiting, long sword, short sword, sickle sword, war axe.














For the third i had a very light leather armor with metal accents and a huge sword... still a work in progress
