Second vest finished! Well almost, I'm only missinng a celtic frost logo that will go fill the small gap seen on picture 4. Pretty proud of what I've achieved with this one, I think it's a clear improvement form my first. All the pockets are fully usable exepts the chest ones which I closed. Here's a long paragraph of my thought process for those who are interested:
Colors:The theme was to have a"cold" vest, I tried to generaly go with blue/purple colors, but of course there are a lot of exceptions. I also tried to have to have almost exclusively old shcool stuff on there, but then again there are exceptions. And lastly, I wanted there to be as little denim visible as possible. I made a choice not to cover too much of the armpits seeing how much was hidden by the shirt on my previous vest.
Layout: I also tried to do things I've never seen before, like the stripes on the shoulders, and I think it turned out quite nicely. I wanted to have oversized next to the backbatch and in the front, to try and main point of interest when looking at it as a whole. Of course I like symmetry so I tried it to be, which worked most of the time, but due to the different shapes of the oversized I had to adapt.
Few thing I really like: How the solstice guy puts his hand over the SBG head, how the jumping jesus perfectly fits the corner of the pocket. The shapes I created on the upper back with the coffins, hexagons and the diamonds, I think it adds dynamism to the vest.
If you've read all that thanks a lot, and please let me know what you think about it: good, bad, improvements for the next one, etc.

Merci beaucoup! Le pseudo est evidement très inspiré du magazine français des années 80'; Métal Hurlant.

Wow what an honor! I saw your last vest some time ago and kept it as inspiration, it's truly great! I tried to replicate having the sides of the backpatch not steped on, if you see what I mean haha. Thanks a lot man!
