      I don't have PhotoShop on this machine, but I think it's the 'pastel' effect where it is possible to vary the "stroke length" to achieve the diagonal line effect.

      Thanks. I really wanted a high contrast, smoothly-finished look.
      I appreciate the kind words.

   Leather and steel go well together, especially when YOU put them together in a set ^-^
   I like the way you think and your art

   Wonderful and elegant. Armor in my eyes often is because of the craftsmanship in it. You certainly brought that out. The B&W

   Even steel and leather can look elegant. Your reworks are, as always very interesting. In this case I vote for the two last pics ... you know...b/w
