Hey guys! Can anyone give me some tips on how to create/ draw Witchblade style armor? I've been working on an alien character of mine but he's not turning out too well. Looks like a ninja with blades popping out everywhere... Choooou sumaranai.. So I'm looking to give him a more deadly and "alien" look but whenever I try to create the armor, it looks like... "blahhhh" so I gotta start over again. Need something that looks unbreakable yet organic in nature... Kinda hard to do... Any tips for alien or monster creation? I'd really appreciate it!
