Description

I'm still having trouble with coming up with armor for Anonymous officially. I like this one... but..... I'm not entirely thrilled with it- particularly the helmet. The challenge is mixing Japanese style armor with that of the Roman Empire's. This is definitely far from the official look, but I thought you guys might like to see it. It's pleasant enough. As you can see, there are elements of his original look scattered throughout this design.

Personally, I like all the colors and layers in this armor. Makes you wonder how hard it might be to move about in though? That said, I really really like the shoes. They're so cool looking! I mean, I would totally make those shoes for a cosplay if I knew how to sew/make foam armor. And then all the little patterns! How big is this thing irl? It just doesn't feel right that you can get in so close and make all those tiny details and have it look so good and uncluttered! 

Unfortunately, I don't really think the blue on his right arm fits with the rest of the color scheme. Maybe a tinge darker, but it looks a bit too bright in comparison with the rest of his torso. Even for a test of the design, the outfit flows together nicely, with a great feel to it to boot. The fusion of the two styles, while not perfect as you mentioned, still fits rather well. I think you tool elements from both and used them very well together.

I love the belt too. It's just got all the folds and a nice contrasting color. And then the roman leather hanging down (I have no idea what that bit of armor is called, sorry!) coupled with the red and violet cloth under just makes it look really rich, color and pattern wise.
