Tips for drawing armors
First of a serie of short tutorials I've been asked to write.
The next one will be on fabrics and dresses.
Hope it helps, if you have any question feel free to ask.

Neat!
This kind of makes me think of the form and function of modern body armor vs. metallic armor. Of course, modern armor in which you can slide ceramic plates into is far more adjustable today than the armors of old, particularly since the materials that make up the vest, from Kevlar weaves and fabrics that make up the vest itself are far more flexible than the metals of antiquity. The plate inserts are still extremely inflexible though, and limit mobility a lot, and add considerable weight.
Hmm, I may need to do a comparative study of modern body armors vs. ancient body armors, from both a functional and aesthetic perspective, if anything because it may be another thing that helps me to learn in the arting department XD
Thanks for the tutorial, it's certainly provided some very interesting food for thought!

Oh I should have a look to the new ones XD I saw pretty ones few days ago when I watched JI Joe (but I'm quite sure real ones are not so nice and well fitting).
European armors were awful but 100% safe, they had not a single joint uncovered. Maybe eastern ones (persians mainly) were lot more elaborated and surely less heavy because of the weather. Their weapon are the most beautiful and lethal I've ever seen, but unfortunately I haven't seen real armors in the museums. I should scout the internet for more references... I May find sonething inspiring.

Well,
If ever at any point you find yourself needing to draw modern armor, I can provide numerous picture references of the burdensome stuff I have to wear, how it is assembled, the joints, areas of mobility, problem areas, where the weight and center of gravity is for it, etc. It's not really a very pretty piece of equipment, but it does what it is designed to do pretty well (i.e. stop bullets) XD
Hmmm, I should do a tour of the museums of Korea tomorrow, see if I can find some of the ancient armors from their era, if anything to study and better understand them. Their history is fascinating, from what I've been able to see and visit so far, and time is growing short for me to fully see it all!
*Begins to do the planning thing*

XD I know who to question then. Our policemen looks like blue salami when they are wearing body armors XD but i don't know what the real army is wearing. Probably something dismissed by US soldiers, like our guns, planes and etc.
Just wondering... How much do body armors weight?
XD tell me if you find something interesting!

Blue salami, that's an interesting way of putting it X'D
Well as far as "kit" goes for the Infantrymen, the main thing I note is that the web gear holding pouches and what not seems to be excessively bulky, and feels like it'd get caught on things. As far as the standard issue weapons however, many of the things used in the Italian Army are similar or the same as the U.S. (being allies and all, we have a propensity to sell our things to NATO allies and all). The M-9 Berretta is the standard issue pistol for us, as example, which is something we import from Italy, as the Berretta company is an Italian manufacturer.
As far as our body armor here? My particular set weighs about 45 - 50 lbs (~20.4 - ~22.6 kg), but that is fully loaded with all extraneous equipment, ammo and ammo pouches, radios, and the 4x armor plates that go inside the vest. Not so bad, as long as it doesn't rain, and soak all the fabric on it XP
Will do! One thing I did see, and wished I'd taken a picture of, was some samurai style armor made of paper XD Amusing, but I guess when times are desperate and materials are few, you gotta do what you gotta do XD

20 kg! What the hell XD it's like running around with the barbell I use when I do squats at the gym ahah that's nonsense! They could be waterproof at least. We need a material upgrade here... Or maybe not, using bots is better. Oh hey! Did you use the alpha dogs? or are their still under development?
A paper armor? Oh well I guess that it can work if your enemy's blade is not sharpened XD but it's still warm and better then nothing, easy to carry at least.
