Description A soldier from Ranvik, the village where Flower Skies lives in my world.
Spengenhelm helmet with an aventail (mail back neck protector).

I'm so proud of this artwork! Praise me!

It's a redraw of a previous portrait that I was too embarrased to submit:

Wow, wonderful job on the lighting and values of this piece! Also, amazing job on the drawing, coloring and shading of the metals. That is not something easy to do and make look so good!

There are so many small details to observe, I love it all.

Keep up the good work!

My pleasure. Of course it must hard to gallop with this on probably moving a bit despite being tied on.

With a full set of armor, that's definitely a workout!

Well, with time your body get used to it. And you feel so much lighter when you remove it. Or you put a heavier one, so your this one will feel lighter when you'll wear it.

Yes! Well said, my friend!
Wearing armor is a workout of its own c:

For one day or every day for your job?

Holy crap, part of a gambesson! 

All-in-all, very nice use of colors for texture.

Gambeson, aye! Much omitted element when drawing armor.

I've always liked how you go for accurate armour and helmets in your pieces Helmie, it always comes out looking great

'Northlander' reminds me a bit of the game Bad North - not sure if you've heard of it, but it has a very minimalist, stylised Viking Age aesthetic that seems to fit in a bit with this piece

Helmie-Art In reply to ThunderboltSix [2020-04-08 04:23:43 +0000 UTC]

I enjoy drawing historical accuracy and adapting it to cartoon horses. I'm happy the result looks rather acceptable to others! Thank you c:
I've seen gameplay videos of Bad North and the game looks very interesting and fun!

You know, I’ve never liked the Spengenhelm aesthetically, but adapted into pone this looks great! (Think it’s the Spangen adapted around the eyes and muzzle that sells me on it)
also, SWEET GLORIOUS GAMBESON!

Hooray! Glad you like it! I'm really happy with this design :3
Personally, I always really liked Viking helmets. Heh, my logo helm was inspired them!

And yes... All hail the glorious, forgotten gambeson armor!
