Day 14: ARMOUR

Thank you, @VeronicaMui ! I appreciate that
All my inktober posts have been created traditionally. As for Lee’s class, I started it but I haven’t had a chance to finish it yet, I think I only finished the first demo part about line. I did however see his sped up experimental inking sneak peek last month. I took some ideas from that like the brayer and pallet knife for inking. I hadn’t really thought about ink much, and seeing that it could be handled in a process I would enjoy and could fit with my current work was energizing.

Inktober Day Fourteen - Armor

Ultimately, I was deciding between a robot with massive shoulder pads, or an anthropomorphic animal wearing armor.
I settled on the animal, drawing a couple of storks.

I didn't esactly paln out the architecture in my under-drawing, so that was a bit challenging to draw (same with the water), but overall, I'm pleased with what I got!
I decided on a seashell motif for the guard's armor, and took inspiration from a spear and harpoon for his weapon.
The helmet is a combination of Roman, Spartan, and Gondor (from the Lord of the Rings movies) designs.
