Description "A fairly tall woman stands before you with commanding presence, clad in silvery armor and draping teal cloth. The fair skin of her face marked with the scars of combat, her piercing pale green eyes peer out from behind waving hair the color of blood. The very air around her glows with a courageous aura, and when she opens her mouth to speak, you know the people will listen."

I Finally have a right proper portrait of our favorite Knight Captain of the Order of the Golden Phoenix. Getting fancy with the backdrops now Haha.
In another time with her body and mind whole, but also this time around, Sister Alestia ain't gonna take no one's shit.

Well no, scale mail and plate were rarely used together like this, and the waist pieces look like a far more advanced version of laminated plate, not to mention other "layering effects" that are atypical of real suits of armor but the overall aesthetic is still realistic

Exactly. While I wanted to put more realism into her armor, I honestly find completely accurate /practical designs to be almost... boring. That and I just like her pauldrons / hipguards design, even if it wouldn't work.
Huzzah for Fantasy Realism.

Way to go with making an original yet historically accurate armor design, especially for female warriors.

Thank you! I took some artistic liberties, so I wouldn't say it's 100% accurate, but I'm glad I was able to meld a decent balance between realism and fantasy that people seem to like.
