As dawn came, there across the open meadow they stood. Those who would not let their lands and their way of life be crushed by the invaders
There they stood.
One heart
One voice
One people
The Defiant Line

(Not fully sure I'm done with this. I keep looking at it and thinking there's more to do with it but I'm giving my mind a break. Who knows it may come back with more detail and color to it ...who knows

Loving the armour design, especially the protected ear flaps on the helm.

@ Sussurak

I figured as furries they would want to hear what's around them and yet keep them ears intact

The detail in this is really great. The riveting and the design for the helmets all feel really consistent with each other.

you know boob armor was never a thing since it weakens the plate. thus they would just wear the normal kind (or bind their boobs to fit it)

@ RokukeShiba

Anytime you bend or contour metal it weakens it, so yes boob armor would be weaker if made from a normal breast plate. Unless the armor formed the breast plate the same way a helm was made pounding the steel from the outer edge in and using a forming bowl or a shot bag to form it and maintain a constant thickness or the areas were double layered. Not easy but as most those who had armor made for them had money and in some cases their own armor smiths.

oooooooo

and yeah, probably missing the environs (like a field, castle wall or what have you) was what making the pic feel incomplete

will there be a follow up? :eager:

The field would be what go's to the final

You are missing the point. The weak points made by the boobplate are the crack between the boobs where any blow landing near the center of the chest will be deflected by the boobs. Normal chest plates are made to have a ridge down the center of the chest that is the highest point on the plate and shallowing out to the sides of the torso, thus deflecting blows away from the body.
Boobs trap any blow landing on or between them where they can only be absorbed in a straight blow, (not ideal, this can crack the wearers sternum) or deflecting the blow up straight into the wearers throat.
Further, the armored cups won't add much support for the boobs, the wearer should wear a thick padding underneath the armor regardless, that essentially ties down the boobs. This would also obscure any feminine curves the wearer might have.
Really, there is no excuse for boobplates for anyone who wants remotely useful fantasy armor. Women would be using basically the same armor as men.
