Description This is a bit of conceptual work for my book β€œBy the sword”. The main kingdom in the story is called Crusition, a very medieval European culture similar to the fifteenth century with splashes of the Elizabethien period. I wanted to delve into some of the cultural designs, making it very traditionally medieval. I decided the main cultural designs of this kingdom focus on shaped crosses (not religious crosses with the lengthened lower point) and repetitive traditional shapes as I hope you can see on the picture. I wanted the picture to still maintain my comic book style so I took artistic license, explaining the few non-tradition elements in the armor.
Overall very happy with this picture, the armor and the embroidering.

Have you ever worn a suit of armour?
BTW you did good work with the simple little details - most people forget about the simple and little things that add detail to a work.

Thanks for the feedback, I love the detail too.

Ah, good. Means you have some experience with armour, and thats good when you work on this sort of thing.
BTW, I've never worn armour, but I've had the luck of messing around with a few blades.
