I drew this one while on vacation at my grandmothers a few weeks back. I promised myself I would not post this and the other pics till I finished that second colored trade picture. ^\/^.
Here I drew my fursona, Domineus Dan, as a dashing solder posing with a handsome pose and a voluminous cape to boot. He is also showing off his new ornaments and belt to his fellow knights. ^\/^.
The armor is typical on a patrol or while working. In this instance, Domineus Dan is trying out a new set of clips to hold his cape together. The clips are two circular pins, with a jeweled center, that clip the cape to where his shoulder meets his chest area.
Also, in between these two new clips Domineus Dan has a couple of chains attached to the pins on either side and with a cross in between. The cross is meant to be a crucifix, but I opted for something more simpler seeing as though the detail was a bit much and I would likely mess up on doing a figure small enough to fit inside the cross. The chains do not span the entire chest length but, rather, from on pin, to the cross, loops around and back to the pin. The chains curve in such a way due to the curve of the chest area.
I drew his legs with a highly shine like look because the leggards (that look like shorts but is actually armor) are shiny. His belt buckle is also new, with the belt and buckle being a brand name (in his dimension and world, not ours). What ever work he is doing is likely minor, otherwise, if it were serious and important work, the buckle would have the crest and standard of the imperial coat of arms would be on the buckle.
The reason why Domineus Dan tends to have one or both his arms under his cape is due to an old tradition. Even though his family does not live in Adleria, his father is from there and some old traditions are still in play. One of those traditions is the belief among the high ranking nobles, and other high class individuals, that to show one's arms is considerably rude. Also, to not symbolically bind it in some way would be considered a threat.
Because of those old traditions still practiced in his family. Domineus Dan tends to hide most of his arms beneath his cape and is also why he favors voluminous capes. Most nobles in Adleria tend to symbolically bind one or more of their arms with, either a scarf wrapped around their arms (especially the left) or armlet bands. For Domineus Dan, he occasionally wears an armlet on one of his biceps, but prefers to wear wrappings around his forearm and then places his gloves over the wrappings. That way, he still puts into practice old tradition while being practical (those that do fighting with their hands tend to wrap their forearms and hands with wrappings). ^\/^.
Dephensor Dan (Domineus Dan's father), by comparison, is more traditional in the sense that one rarely sees his arms, especially outside the manor. Normally a person of his noble rank would wear a robe to hide the arms with a scarf wrapped around his arms. However, Dephensor Dan's work often has him in armor and, as such, has opted to use an elaborate cape. His cape is more like a cloak and tends to cover most of his body on all sides with only his head and the with about half an inch or less of a gap between the ground and the end of his cape. When he walks, the bottom of the cape swings to and fro. Under his cape his arms have armlets on his biceps and metal rings along his for arm under his gloves (the typical scarf would not work well with his armor and the rings on his for arm are good for blocking). His elaborate and expensive clothing, along with his tendency to give out announcements, has given some knights and warriors cause to nickname Dephensor Dan as 'The Bellman'. Often they do not say such a name within earshot of Dephensor Dan since it is unwise to give such names to the general of the queen's royal armed forces. LOL. ^\/^.
