This is art in the whole word
I love your creations.
Too the colours you add.
As a suggest perhaps you could do a "bear armor"
I think for example the aspect of a bear standing at two legs, with horns like skyrim helmet(male goat horns), and a central one like unicorn, spikes in shoulder,elbow, knees,back of feet, and front of feet.
A big evil like orc-demon skull shape along all over the cuirass, with curved tooth pointing to up exiting from lower mouth.
Texture as bear hairs and arms and legs with battle scebes of a barbarian eith bears fighting orcs,demons, and nazhgul/ringwights from lord of the rings.
A "brutal gore barbarian beorning armor"
From respect, only is a suggestion (a dream,truly).
Good job, you are very talented.

Haha, glade you like my creations and your suggestions is very specific and in my head created the image a an post apocalyptic warrior :D at least I have made a helmet with horns going in the direction you talk about, everything else most likely, will stay a dream until you yourself start to creat it :)

You are always doing something I find interesting!

[@NilsBeardfoot]

[@theBoonarmies]

you could use clothes pegs to hold the honeycomb sections in place to one another while wet molding.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

That is a really great idea, I didn't thought of it! Thank you for your addition :)
