Anyone else realize the great potential of art pieces with armour? Now, we begin to imagine most paintings of armour being done by fantasy-enthusiasts as a simple 'neckbeard pastime', but looking further, you begin to find more depth to it.

As a challenge, could you paint a piece of armour with a romantic theme? Think about it, the armour itself is only the base, there are two other important factors to consider: the details in the armor itself, and the background. Nobility and royalty would often order beautifully crafted and ornamented armor. How would you ornament your own piece in your painting? What themes would it represent? How important would the lighting be in consideration of the painting's mood?

Just random thought I've been having, wondering if anyone else was intrigued.

I Always thought it would be cool to subtly hint at the motivations behind a knight protagonist in a painting.

Like a prophecy, or a rivalry, or iconography describing the knight's rank/or what its known for.

It's a cool thought, but it shouldn't be the main emphasis of an illustration. No one at first glance is going to look at the engravings on the armor. Only by a slower and more closer look will people see engravings. And then it's the question if people will read it and interpret the way you wanted.

I think of it more as a subtle reward for the viewer; someone who took the time to sit and interpret the painting, rather than saying, "cool armor."

Obviously this can be done with literally anything, but armor is cool.
