Description
I finally had the time to make another quick sketch. I don't even know why I still call them "daily" but nevermindΒ
A concept for a soldier of my fantasy world, obviously inspired by 15th - 16th century German mercenaries.Β I'm trying to give to each of my world's factions an historical counterpart. Hope you like it!

Oh, it's a perfect germn landsknecht! And... His armor is swiss?

I'm not sure, I actually went for a mix of different kinds of armours, both German and Swiss. ^^Β Since it's a fantasy setting I can get away with some historical inaccuracies.

The decaoration of the helmet is very curious compared with the rest of the armor.

I guess it's just to stand out a bit?Β I found references of quite some helmets painted in a similar way, but very little about armours.

Yeah, I remember see helmets with a similar design, especially when I was in the school.

Hello:
Β I don't know how can you call this a quick sketch, unless you can draw all those details at a very high speed .
Β Also, those writtings in the helmet looks nice

Ok, it took some time but nowhere near the time it takes to make one of my normal drawings! XD

what does it say in his helmet? (if meant to say something specific)
Ah I admire your line work! can't wait to see this one colored as well, if you will color it! would be nice though because it would add nice depth/shape and shine to that armor

It's Latin, it means "In the name of the king and the gods" (IF I remembered my Latin classes correctly and didn't butcher it completely)
Thank you!

ohh cool! I don't know latin well enough to confirm that
ohh that sucks, Β and I've tried coloring on the wrong kind of paper.. ti did not end well

yeah, this kind of paper is useless with watercolours. ^^
