nice work but arent the hinges and the hangers especially the hinges a bit anachronistic ?
unless this picture is set in a fairly recent time frame

Hairac In reply to Snow-katt [2011-04-07 18:16:34 +0000 UTC]

hahaha yes xD I don't think about it unless the lineart was already finished, and it took too much to finish to change somenthing (i'm not a prospective master at all)

Honestly i don't know when the "samurai time" was ended indeed, plus hangers were not used for armors i suppose, but without them the sensation of "open the door on the past" that the wardrobe give whouldn't be the same, so... artistic's license lol

I've done this piece more with heart than brain xD

Snow-katt In reply to Hairac [2011-04-07 18:38:51 +0000 UTC]

well it ended fairly late actually the last possible samurai conflict was in 1877 but their heyday was at least 200 or 300 years prior
you could see it as an elderly japanese man born in the 1920's or 30's brought up with very different ideals about bushido and family honor things that dont really matter any more these days so he looks at the armor which has been in his family for ages a family heir loom and he wonders what will happen to it and about the honor and glory days of the samurai and his family

that way you also open a door on the past
art is still fine though
