Commission - The Shields of Kemet

The brief basically was to design Godfall-like armor with African motifs for what are essentially law enforcement characters. I looked at the Godfall armors and saw how grand they looked and how they weaved elements of animals and creatures throughout the design, almost letting the design of the animal drive the function of the armor. I took that and tried to incorporate the idea of a tortoise shell, dragons, and lizrds throughout while also thinking about trying to make the armor feel holy and grand. I also took elements of dragoon armor to try and sell the fierceness that these characters are meant to represent even further.
