Artist's Comments
Took a little doodle that I did while rewatching Karas on DVD (very, very cool anime, by the way). Armor like this has to be magically summoned, since it takes a lot of time and assistance to put it on or take it off normally. What it's actual capabilities are is somewhat up to your imagination, but I figure a couple elements are universally necessary, and they're noted above.
"codex" is just a fancy-soundin' word for "manuscript". The text here is the John Handy font in Photoshop, and the whole texture is a couple of hi-res scans of actual paper that is blended with the line art and text.... pretty easy stuff, I hardly feel like I ought to take any credit for it at all. Just playing about with the lines. |

Oops, I just dropped 500 million yen.
but u have to think, with armor that practicaly makes you invincible, dont you think you'd just go in sans-weapon just as a 'fuck you' to everyone else?

Its not that I want to kill Paris Hilton, I just don't want her living anymore.
Brainstorm with the other talents at your studio and make a story around this!

There is a terrible martial art with a 2000-year history; it is called Hokuto Shinken! Under the Seven Stars of Heaven, it can only have one successor! The tragic legacy of Hokuto Shinken continues!

Without pain life has no meaning. I intend to give your lives a meaning.
I really like that helmet, by the way. And "skinplate" is a righteously cool name for enchanted armor.
