Heres The Process Of Constructing My Paladins Armored Corset. I Started From Measuring Myself, Designed

Here’s the process of constructing my paladin’s armored corset. I started from measuring myself, designed to those measurements in Rhino (3D CAD program), printed out the pattern, and then built the whole thing by hand. I put a bit more detail in the captions if you’d like to follow along.

Here’s the photo from the night I finished it up:

Making a corset had been on my projects wish list for a long time, and I’m glad I finally was able to tackle it. I was really worried it wouldn’t fit properly or something would be wrong with the design and I’d have no way of knowing until I’d gotten to the end, but thankfully it all came together cleanly and fit really well! On top of that, this was the first time I tooled a leather project, so it was cool to work that process out.

Next up is making accessory pieces for this to flesh it out to a full costume. Current plan is armor for shoulders, shins, and arms. For expediency’s sake I’ll be buying some patterns for those and modifying them to match this style, rather than designing them from scratch (which would probably take a couple rounds of prototyping). If all goes well, I should have the set ready to take good photos before the end of Magic Meat May!

I’ve found it’s surprisingly tricky to get non-awkward photos of bracelets being worn. Oh well, you gotta suffer through me hand modeling for myself.

A couple more Pride bracelets I made for folks recently. The scale ones are a classic, and I’m slowly working my way through more pride flag combinations on those. The ring one (Japanese 6-in-1 pattern) was partially an excuse to try out some new gray rubber rings. I was pretty happy with the double-sided idea there; it can be worn showing either the white or gray rings as the background.

The scale ones are available here. The stretchy ring one isn’t a standard option, but you could get a similar one here and just tell me other colors to make it with.

And! In celebration of Anthro New England’s virtual convention this weekend, everything on my Etsy store is on sale for 20% off this weekend! If you’ve been eyeing something, now’s the time to jump on it!

Hell yeah Magic Meat March May! Go give them a follow, maybe even draw your own sexy empowered fantasy men!

I’ll be working on a set of paladin armor. I got the main corset breastplate done during March, and this month I’ll be making the smaller parts like pauldrons, greaves, codpiece, and so on.

Magic Meat May is here!

The promotional illustration for this year’s event is still taking me a while, but i will be contributing more content this month for this event! Feel free to use the hashtag #MagicMeatMay, enjoy!

Everything about Magic Meat March can still be found in our carrd here, and if you have any questions or concerns, our ask box and DMs on twitter are always open.

You thought it was just a regular leather collar. Then you felt it start to drip, melting down your neck, becoming something very different. How far will it go? Will you be able to get it off when it's done? Will you want to?

This idea had been lodged in my brain for months, of a collar turning liquid and spreading down your neck. A trope I see all the time in furry art, and I thought needed to be made physical. (Though I’m not sure if this trope exists literally anywhere else.)

Made of two layers of 8 oz vegetable-tanned leather. Leather is cut with a laser cutter, then dyed, burnished, finished, and riveted together by hand. I burnished the edges super smooth and gave it a high-gloss finish to complete the look.

It’s available over on my Etsy store. And if you’d like this in another color, please hit me up! I’m excited to make more copies of this design.

Was sort of burned out this month after finishing up the big armor project, but had a bunch of small orders to work through. Here’s a bunch of scale chainmail pieces that I shipped out over the last couple weeks. A pair of randomized anodized titanium bracelets, bronze and stainless steel, trans pride bracelet and black choker, and a bi pride for good measure (but bad lighting).

A very green dragon tail. The base color is the standard green, the stripes are a darker shiny/premium anodized aluminum.

This one measures in at 35 inches long, 3 pounds 6 oz. It’s got a lobster clasp at the tip for attaching things to.
