Description
characters of chinese influence. or, totally chinese influence. XDthese armors are based off popular chinese depiction of ancient warriors, which use the Tang dynasty armor for basis, and various decorations are added for visual interest. commonly, it has been a popular thing to draw most ancient heroes in the Tang dynasty fashion, as it is most recognized dynasty in most accounts. so much that the chinese is referred to as the "Tang people"
this tendancy to make ancient heroes into the wrong time period for pure visual interest is not unlike the westerners for drawing King Arthur into the 15th century fashion, even though he was much much earlier on in history.
it was a fun thing to learn about.

Also, Li Chengli's adaptation of the Three Kingdoms story is very accurate in terms of costume and armor.

If you want the Three Kingdoms heroes dressed in armor that is closer to the armor in the late Han period, look no further than John Woo's Red Cliff films.

Thanks for the mini history lesson.... 
Guess I should of known, all those paintings of Bible characters in Renaissance garb ought to have clued me in to artists' reliability in the area of historical accuracy.
But after all, when it comes right down to it, it's all about how cool the product looks. So you scored top marks there.
