Zodiac Challenge.

Why hello there Armored Girls and boys!


I think it's time to announce what I've been planning since mid-2013.

First off I want you to know what plays a large part in what I do. Can you guess what it might be? No? Okay then, I'll tell you. I'm an ARIES! By default my fascination with War, strategy, armor, independence and creativity comes from my sun sign, the Aries. I usually don't give it much mind, other than reading a horoscope every now and then, or having my astrologist friend use my chart for practice, but this year I think I'm going to give it a little more credit.

My plan for 2014, starting April (With the first sign of course c; ) is a Zodiac Challenge! I will be making an Armored Girl set for every Zodiac sign. That's right, the next 12 armor suits themes are set in stone <3
At first when I thought out this idea I was going to make a suit for each sign's month, but now that I've begun to see how a time crunch can effect the quality of my work, I'm allowing myself the time I need per suit, no restrictions.

Here's some cool features about this project:

  •  You'll get to see some AMAZING photos of Armor/clothing/accessories. (Dreads too <3)
  • Every month, items from the set, or even the suit itself as a whole will be up for sale to support the project.
  • New Models, New photographers, and New Collabs!
  • At the end of the project all of the pictures will be glued together to create the very first Armored Girl Calendar. (I'll get into detail with this later.)


This blog will be dedicated to this project, from concept to creation. Behind the scenes info, pictures, and maybe even some videos. You'll get to explore the lives of those involved such as models, assistants, and photographers along with the stories behind them. This is a project that isn't just for me, this is a project for all of my Armored Girls and Boys who want to participate in if they wish. Applications for open volunteer positions can be found in the "get involved" section.

                                         This is the part where I go into detail about the calendar. Ready for it? You, the reader/viewer/amazingpersoner are going to be just involved as I am. For this project, it will take many of those that want to support this idea to make it happen. I've set up a donation station for those who would like to show financial support. For those of you who are a little on the starving artist side, I am looking for models, photographers, editors, and artists to form collaborations! So tell your mom, your uncle, your best friend, and your cat, because this party is just gettin' started.
