Wearing full armor at the peak of summer heat can be quite the unpleasant experience. However, any discomfort caused by the kit was offset by this amazing unscripted duel I had with a friend (the changing of weapons midway was scripted though). Despite performing decently in this fight, my sub-optimal fitness levels did end up showing as, after the event, my left should ended up strained and hurting for an entire month.

Very sad when people redraw the Patroclus/Achilles bandaging scene but cover up Patroclus' crotch.

Alrighty, this might be a long shot, but I'm hoping the Willow (2022) fandom can help me out!

I dabble in armorsmithing and I'm currently elbow deep in the concept/patterning stages of a functional (leather, plate, chain and scalemaille) reproduction of the Kymerian Cuirass, but having some trouble getting my grubby hands on enough good-quality reference photos (THANK YOU DISNEY...). If anyone has any detail shots of the Cuirass, I would appreciate anything I can get in terms of references!

Aside from the changes I have needed to make to get it to actually function, like adding straps and more rivets and such, I'd like to keep the design as faithful to the original as possible, because the show means so much to so many of us.

In addition, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I'm not a cosplayer by trade, and this is my first foray into reproducing an existing character rather than designing my own kit.

Attached below is an example of the sort of work I usually do. If anyone is willing to help me out, please feel free shoot me a message!

Get to know your ancient Roman armor, ladies! Those aren’t bracelets, they’re vambraces. That’s not a headband, that’s a laurel wreath or laurel crown; it’s where we got the phrase, “resting on one’s laurels,” from because they’re a symbol of military victory. Let’s do armor kink right, writers!

Why donn'st thou so shapely a cuirass, milord? To compel the hands of yon menne to encircle it? Slattern.

Protect your heart with style! Breastplates: the perfect blend of fashion and armor. Don't just slay dragons, slay the fashion game too with Lord of Battles

Alright back at it again with art from a fic by @samisnotlegend, this time The Joy of Being Forgotten which I mentioned in my last art post and just fills my nerdy little heart to the brim. If you want a deeply romantic oneshot with plenty of mythical references please give it a look!! (link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44635213) Besides my beloved forsaken hero Katsuki and Gorgon Izuku, I included a couple photos from my trip to Greece which I used as references! Sam has also done some art of these two over on their blog so check that out :)

All is fair in love and war!

On this short video you can see me and my girlfriend fighting it out on the arena. This was the last day of a four-day event and, as you can see, by that point we were getting VERY tired and clunky.
