Description hmmMMMm i'm pretty happy with the style of the armor itself but i still can't decide on a color scheme


also red and black will never not look like villain material, clairvo, im sorry


edit: changed the color of the center's outer thigh plates to be more cohesive

If you're having trouble with the colour, I'd recommend going back to the function of the armor. Is it actual battle armor or something closer to ceremonial armor? Is this individual armor or standard military armor? For instance, Cy's armor is completely individual (pretty much pieced together) and meant for concealment and/or brief, non-lethal fighting.

It's ceremonial armor, which is why I'm having such a hard time. Basically, it's only to look pretty (and be somewhat intimidating to outsiders) at formal events held by a insect-like civilization. I like 1 the best visually, but 3 resembles the natural 'higher' colors of the civilization and 4 resembles the natural 'common' colors (ie, cockroach colors, surprise!).  2 was a suggestion from a friend and 5 was a throwback to when I wanted everything to be white and gold. 


Essentially, my problem is that 1 isn't really tied into the civilization, but 3 is too busy because balancing six different colors is hard. I'll probably go back and work with 3 more later this week, hahaha

Have you ever seen late-medieval armor, particularly horse armor? There was no such thing as 'going overboard' (as terrifying as that is). But that aside, I do like 3 and 4. Maybe the best thing to do is just let it distil for a while in the back of your mind. You'll find something you can live with.

I could've gone without seeing that.
