A giant stone fist says more weapon than armor to me.

[up] I think I like the water pic a little more than the Armor of Thorns.

The subject of the image came up during the YKTTW discussion, but I don't recall anyone posing any alternatives.

I can't tell what the water picture is.

I would suggest Pikachu's infamous Thunder Armor, in which his own electricity physically protected him against a Magmar's fire attack, but I can't find anything that works for that.

[up][up][up][up] Can't tell whats the second supposed to be. First is... so-so... Not sure I'd have got it if I had not seen the name.

There's better images from the same show. Aang makes crystal armor in the season 2 finale and Toph makes rock armor to train Aang.

What first came to mind was a collage of Sal's pics, but any one of the pics where Toph is fully encased would work.

[up] That last one is pretty good.

The last one is good, but someone might argue that it doesn't look like the trope.

I think an important part of the trope is that the armor has to be made. in the images The Pope linked, it's just there. For all I know, it's just how his skin is. I've seen crazier things in anime.

I don't think it looks like his skin.

It helps that you can clearly see his skin, and the colors are completely contrasted.

It doesn't look like skin. I'm okay with Rocky.

It doesn't look anything like his skin color, unless that is supposed to be his skin color and he's covering his face with sand or something stupid like that, though it still has the problem is not showing it being made I suppose.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

What I'm saying is that they could just be natural growths, as there's nothing to show that he has elemental powers or that he used them to make the armor.

Nothing about that guy shows that he made that armour on the spot, instead of it just being a weird looking but constant armour.

I really like The Pope's 2nd pic at post n°12. This is my fave of all pics proposed so far.

Just curious, from which anime does this pic come from?

Mine's from Yu Yu Hakusho.

And here's him "making" the armor, if you're curious.

That one has the least obvious making of any of the suggested images. It doesn't look like Elemental Armor. It looks more like a Henshin Hero Transformation Sequence. He's not making it out of the element. He's just summoning it out of hammerspace.

[up][up] It needs a transition scene showing the dirt starting to cling to him.
