Costume Journal 10: Evolution - Concept 2

We're back again, and today we're back to the sketch pad.

I had previously made armor templates based off of my first Concept [link] and it had a few design issues. The biggest of which was that it wouldn't have allowed me to roll my arms forward. And that couldn't do.

This this new sketch I aimed to address a few things:
+ Based the design off of a tactical vest I purchased to mount the armor to.
+ Re-evaluate design for movement (chestplate)
+ Redesigned "boring" parts (backplate)
+ Added spaulders
+ Added spats
+ Dropped support for wings

The more I sketch this out, the move parts become solid into the design.
I'm still not entirely convinced with the abdomen area just yet, especially the sides. But work continues.
