Iron Maiden Clothing Iteration

Having figured out what the face will look like I begin work on the Iron Maiden's outfit. I have to admit I'm really struggling with this character and I believe it shows with the four outfits I've created, making it more metal worked better and I felt that they worked best. I was trying to make a more exciting outfit but I begin to realise that medieval costumes is something I can't make exciting or my brain just doesn't want to make exciting.

Having drawn two outfits with robes that I had flicked through in my research document, I was starting to feel a bit down, so I ended up thinking about male armour that Knights would have worn at this time and ended up looking at female armour, which had never crossed my mind before and found some really fascinating images.

This really helped me out with my outfit designs, and really worked with the Iron Maiden theme and managed to work in some of the original themes I wanted as well with the cape and pieces of material.

Here are the iteration pieces for the Iron Maidens clothing:

Again I went to our GAD facebook group and requested some feedback.

I think I'm going to do 2 as it was chosen a few times and its my personal favourite. I want to take a few things from 3 aswell such as shoulder spikes and maybe a peeled back bit of metal to reveal spikes to get a little bit more blood to play off the haemophobia, I really like the blood oozing from the moveable joints of 2, it reminds me of a giant doll!
