Armored Wilds
I want to explore the concept of nature’s protection of itself. Creating armor inspired by nature, perhaps for a personified version of a natural flora or fauna.
In my research, I looked at native species to British Columbia and specifically the Pacific Coast, because BC is a big place with a LOT of different mini environments and climates that determine what nature lives there. I focused on species that I’ve personally seen in the wild before, and how they protect themselves against human attacks, external attacks, and internal attacks (like blight or rot).
