I have already made a modern vambrace in the past, so I was looking to do something a little different. Part of my modern assassin aesthetics was trying to merge the old style of assassin, like you see in Altair, with a modern twist. In this way, I found my design. I made a plated design that sits on a modern foam and fabric martial arts gauntlet.
The plates were part of an original prototype of my Altair gauntlet that were just too small. But I painted them up with a black base and red layer on the details and I am very happy with the outcome. While it may not be the most modern looking, it does merge the old with the new.
