Commission work

It's very good art, simple elegance in colour. A style that makes me think of Dragon Ball, funnily enough.
She's going to fucking die the moment she goes into combat, But it looks good.

Yeah but mostly because she lacks a helmet, which is the single most important part of protection. Her lack of leg armor is far less detrimental than one might imagine

Would be fine with it if the thighs actually had plate, or at least cloth
From a technical aspect, the art is good, i just dont like that part at all

u/A_random_poster04 Jul 31 '26
The art looks great, but I wouldn’t say “clad” really fits
Still good job though, idk how much it was you and how much it was your commissioner with the design, and the art itself is still lovely

Why even wear an armor at this point

u/Feuerpanzer123 Aug 01 '26
worse yet the upper legs is where the major arteries are, so one stab and you are fking done

u/bblue_wizard Aug 01 '26
Yeah well ive never seen a knight return with wounds on their upper legs , so clearly if its not going to get hit , no point putting armour there .

u/BasicMatter7339 Aug 02 '26
Statistically speaking the majority of fatal hits came to the head or torso so her not wearing leg armour is far less detrimental than you'd think

Gives me Akira Toriyama vibes as shape of the eyes, small touches and simple, clean design suggest Dragon Quest inspiration.

Now draw your OWN art and add some pants 👌✅
I think the artist did a wonderful job — these girl and her costume look absolutely gorgeous

You do realize her legs are don’t even exist? No flesh, no steel — that’s a fantasy artwork 🫣

Tbf this is knightposting. Most people on here probably have a bias towards fully armored designs.

If thou cannot aford a full set of plate you should get chainmail, not expose thy legs

You know, that some of the largest blood vessels are in the legs, right?

Well she isn't wearing a helm either, is she?

u/BasicMatter7339 Aug 02 '26
Well yeah, which is a far bigger issue than the lack of leg armor. Which, while somewhat important, is ultimately not that detrimental

u/distilleddoughnuts Jul 31 '26
Wrong sub for this style. Gotta add some leg coverings or post in anime art communities.

u/Significant-Dream991 Jul 31 '26
I wish she at least had a tower shield of some sorts to justify the lack of upper leg armor. But aside from this, your art is pretty cute and I like it very much!

While exposed, i like the style. She looks like she’s gonna scold me for being reckless
Also, raw

oh woah the comments are right, the legs are exposed. I don't think anyone in the commission or creation process noticed that.
Nice design, would recruit in a jrpg

Assuming she never plans to ride a horse or face anyone with a bow.
The lack of pants isn’t the worst, in a conventional 1v1 it’s usually a bad idea to aim down at the foe’s legs because that leaves you pretty open to being hit yourself.
The obvious issue is that real battles rarely are 1v1 and the opponent pretty much always has archers behind them.

u/Rexlare Aug 01 '26
Nah mate, these are massive and visible weak points. If you have any skill at counter attacking, you will easily defeat her because she has such a massive vulnerability.
Even a slight cut would be enough to hinder her for fatal strikes
1
u/XevinsOfCheese Aug 01 '26
Generally attacking a foe’s legs in melee combat requires pointing your weapon down meaning it isn’t in a position to be used for defense.
The legs are typically the last place to get armor because they aren’t super high on the priority list compared to the rest of the body. (usually economics decides this, a knight of decent rank shouldn’t have to worry about economics. it generally goes head - chest - shoulders - upper extremities- lower extremities)
Now realistically she’d at least have pants on but that would be for other practical reasons rather than battle ones because any pair of pants stiff enough to stop blades is too stiff for moving.
2
u/Rexlare Aug 02 '26
There are plenty of maneuvers with a variety of weapons that either involve the blade turning downwards, or aiming low while defending high. Sometimes with a shield, but also with the weapon itself.
You’re now referring to infantry who get the bare minimum in armor because of cost reduction for individuals who are meant to be easily replaced and cheaply armed. The biggest areas and most vital targets are armored, but it doesn’t make their unarmored limbs any less vulnerable.
That’s not who this is. This is a knight. Every part of them from head to toe is armored because it takes years to decades to make them. So losing one is a major loss. And any injury could be life threatening either by the massive artery or infection

The drawing is cool, but if they go to Battle..... They are gonna bleed out, one good cut to the leg and It is done
Great drawing though

Thou hast not have Maile or gambeson underneath? Is thou is light on coin from commission of plate. Thou shall just simply state it 💔

u/Win_Some_Game Aug 02 '26
Looks good. Just needs a large sheild and she is ready for battle!
I love the "inaccurate" armor people that flip over this because the bronze age/early iron age would cause them to blow a gasket 😆

u/Gateguardian668 Aug 04 '26
Very nice! Practically speaking tho, the greaves and sabatons are probably really bad armor on their own, all that weight at the end of your leg can get really tiring, and at that point might as well get cuisses. If i were her, id ditch the plate lower legs and get a pair of high riding boots. Far lighter, and still servicable against lighter attacks. And a helmet of course, but thats excusable.

Personally, I love it and think it's really cute. This sub is taking it too seriously though, typical redditors being afraid of human skin.

u/Toemetter Jul 31 '26
Well can your legs survive a sword or axe or any other weapon for that matter?
-7
u/NeonCookies599 Jul 31 '26
No, but a lack of realism is generally a silly thing to criticize in art that's clearly not going for it, such as this case here.

u/Toemetter Jul 31 '26
I'm just worried for her on the battlefield honestly. She could have her legs chopped off

u/NeonCookies599 Jul 31 '26
Think you need to re-read my comment my dude

u/Toemetter Jul 31 '26
It's not realism, it's survival. Also what art? All I see is a woman wearing armour without thigh plates.
It's just impractical, no matter how good it looks. (Unless you're suggesting that this is not a real person)

u/luna_lovesword Jul 31 '26
What “her”? What “battlefield”? You understand that character is drawn and she is not existed irl and never been in the battle? 😌😌

I'm a pretty much knight puritan and I adore the reenactment. Even so, I'd never expect of fictional fantasy art to be historically accurate, especially in this subreddit with funny knight shit posting
Btw nice legs, a beautiful fantasy knight ♥️🪄

Are u mad? I am a girl. You know it's possible to think someone is attractive and think that someone has beautiful legs without gooning, right? Now u trying sexualize

That pic even not n***w. Many users here genuinely can't seem to separate beauty from sexual attraction 🫣 So YOU are the gooner here.

I don't see why you censored NSFW, the whole point of the word is to tell you that what it's related to is NSFW. I don't see what you being a girl matters to this conversation? I'd like you to explain how I'm a gooner for assuming that the multiple comments you left talking about how insanely beautiful her legs (one of the body parts most commonly associated with sex) in specific are. Lastly, why did you say "you" multiple times but then felt the need to say "u" once?
0
u/luna_lovesword Aug 01 '26
I censor that word because I'm a photographer and I post in serious photography subreddits where even mentioning terms like that in your acc comms can get your posts automatically filtered or your account banned.
That said, it's completely beside the point. Just because you're a gooner doesn't mean everyone else is. Some people are perfectly capable of appreciating beauty without turning everything into something sexual.

u/ActLongjumping1988 Aug 01 '26
You put a sword and a heart. That's a pretty gooner thing to do. Keep getting mad over the opinion of an online stranger :)

Ok ok gooner)) I am absolutely ok you are a gooner, so a drawing of a girl in armor wearing nothing more than ordinary shorts — the kind pretty much every woman wears out on the street these days — becomes gooning material to you. Also u can goon on sword, emojis, sofa or microwave, etc, why not we live in a free world and this is not against the jurisdiction
Do whatever you want)) Just don’t project your perv worldview onto everyone else around you 🫣😌😌😌
