Jyl'iaan's Armor in progress
« on: Feb 21, 2010, 09:53 PM »
Hello all. This is my first attempt at making armor for myself. I have assisted Synnr is making his...now its finally my turn! Woohoo.

The vest I am wearing in the pics is made and bought from  Mar'eyce...who did a great job.

Let me know what you think so far!



One molded to my body...one not!



Before most of the molding.



Changed the design of the belly plate. The one in the previous pic didn't fit right or look customized enough to me.

I can't tell you how much sintra we tossed trying to come up with a good shape!  She's got a great overall concept and I am looking forward to helping her put it together.

The Boobs are the hardest part...HAHA. I didn't want them to look unnatural, so Synnr came up with that idea. I think it works well for my pair!

Hahaha, what a sentence that last one was.

The design looks very promising.  Hope it turns out!

I really like that design! Interesting way to modify the traditional chest plates to fit a girl. :)

Yeah, I like that look as opposed to the "softball boob" look. Nice work ;)

I disagree imo. From what I hear from the fem-mandos i've known, vhonte Thervo style plates are actually useful, as they mean you can move with a great range of motion without compressing their boobs into their chests, which is what happens with male plates.

This design however, is neither male plates, or thervo plates. I like how you've elongated the arms of the chestplates, and also increased the height that the belly plate comes up. it really looks good, and i think you may have invented a new type of female armor.

Softball boobs are not the same thing as  Vhonte style plate.  Softball boobs are literally sintra or vac formed plates that have been molded around a softball...so they stick strait out.  I mean it looks like every female with a set of those things is either *Very* happy or *Very* cold.

I like where this set is going.  It's a new shape, and new shapes are always cool when they work.

Thank you all so much for your interest in my kit.  I want this set to be different, just like me  ;). I will update it again soon with more pieces as I am working on them.

I am looking for suggestions on what to wear under the armor. I think I want to go tighter rather than looser...thoughts? (To my friends that are thinking "wearing nothing is good"...Ahhh...NO! LOL)

I know a lot of ladies use the single or dual piece body suits designed for aerobics or ballet/dancing.
