#Lashunta Inspirational Pics of the Week - a Twofer
Artist 1: Rebecca Puebla (artstation), a rendition of Dejah Thoris
Artist 2: JP Targete (artstation), concept of an Amazon Queen's Guard for Wonder Woman
I see these as conceptual elements for a Damaya Outrider's wardrobe. The details in neither pic are perfect, IMO. In one, I'm unsure how all the links and gems are staying up. In the other, I'm unsure how she can bend at the waist. Yet they both address something I've harped on in the past: if we're going to call something armor, how do we make it believable, and not merely a symptom of testosterone poisoning?
The one on the left seems believable as armor, since it seems designed to protect, at least the major organs and limbs most likely to be struck.
The one on the right is not believable as armor. But what could it believably be? (continued)
What if one were to take elements and motifs from armor design and incorporate them into a kind of formalwear for Outriders? It then becomes part of their identification of rank and social status. What else does it say? How about ostentation and conspicuous consumption? What if every one of those emeralds represents a commendation, a battle won, an enemy defeated in single combat? Alternately, what if it simply means: "My mother is really filthy rich."?
@Webwasp I'd be more impressed if it wasn't AI.
