Description
I've drawn a few different fighters, but for this one I specifically wanted a character in a full suit of gleaming armour with a massive sword!With this figure I aimed for realism and went to a lot of effort to try and be historically accurate in the design with both the armour and the sword. I did add a few fantasy touches by choosing a barbute helmet over the more traditional hounskull bascinet, and by adding a flowing red cape!
This artwork was for a paper mini, which is why there's not much perspective.

That is some bad ass armor. Very reflecty.

The reflections took a whole day to colour. Quite pleased with the end result though

Wow it looks great!
The sword looks particulary heavy!

Thanks! Apparently the sword I based it on weighs around 3kg (or a little over 6lbs), so your arms would get pretty tired after swinging it a while!
