She has long hair though. :-P
Joking aside great picture.

Yes, it would be hurtful when the hair get caught between the armor plates, so she would need to tie the hair (is it the right word?) or either use a cape or some kind of hood, but... Since she's not fighting on the picture, maybe her squire is coming to hand her the helmet before she start to move a lot, or etc.
But is still "less worst" than a bikini armor, that would be hurtful just to have on and would protect nothing. At least for me less "unpracticity" is more enjoyable for the eye than the usual bizarre characters :/
Although the artist must have the right to draw whatever he/she wants to. Its just about personal preferences - and how the world seems to don't give us the right to have them.

Beautiful. The steel looks so polished and hard.
There's something ruthless about her. Her free hair, her neutral gaze; not the rigid, upright, code-following warrior -she leans on her sword slightly. No bright bolts ofΒ cloth or house sigils ofΒ loyalty; this isΒ someone more practical.Β Very mercenary, very I'll-kill-you-for-the-gold.

I love have you kept this piece of art very simple and the color range very small but the piece of work still looks astounding.

Thank you for drawing this. I love to see me some armor that actually makes sense on a female character. Awesome work!
Do you have this posted on tumblr? I'd love to reblog the hell out of it. ^^

"armor that actually makes sense"
How does this armor make sense? She's not wearing a helmet. If we're talking real-life armor, not wearing a helmet is like, one of the stupidest things you can do. You're leaving the most vital, vulnerable, and most easily-hit part of your body totally exposed and unprotected. This armor is cool, but it's NOT practical, realistic or sensible in any way.

Actually, a lot of ancient warriors used to fight without helmets, specially cause the helmet would soon be damaged and then keep wearing it would block vision, and if its broken, the metal parts could be dangerous.
In this pic the knight is not fighting, maybe the helmet is with her squire, for instance, but then you see a lot of pics of women wearing metal bikinis, or armors with cleavage... there's a difference between fantasy and an excuse for lousy fetichism - even though people have the right to draw and enjoy whatever kind of art they want...

Historical warriors who fought without helmets either did so because their equipment was damaged (so they no longer had the option of wearing one) or because metalwork was expensive and they couldn't afford one. There is, to my knowledge, no example ever in history of soldiers or warriors having the option of wearing headgear in battle along with a set of armor and choosing not to.
I totally get why somebody wouldn't like sexy armor or chainmail bikinis because of personal taste, but it irritates me when people say that it's because "it's impractical" or "it's not realistic". It's fantasy; a fictional world with fantastical elements that don't, and couldn't, possibly exist in real life. It's already physically impossible and totally illogical. That's why it's fun. Warcraft armor is 100% impractical and physically impossible, but NOBODY ever complains about that; because really it's not about how reasonable it is, it's about the fact that it's sexy.
If people just said what they really meant: "I don't like chainmail bikinis and boob armor because I don't like sexualized female characters" that'd totally OK. But a lot of people seem to be under this weird idea that just because an outfit is not sexual, it's somehow realistic or practical.
I probably shouldn't care so much, idk.

Well you just gave some examples of warriors who fought without helmet, and one of them I already pointed. Of course I didnt said that there was a specific kind of soldier who fought with heavy armor and no helmet, although some warriors didnt use heavy armor.
I always see people saying exactly it: "I don't like the hypersexualization - and thus, objetification - of the female, specially 'cause it happens in ever media, and in quite an exagerated way" but then someone always say "but why is it wrong if there are other ways it's unpractical, too?" And the reason is quite good "cause it looks ridiculous, grotesque" so it's not only for being unpractical, is cause it looks like a joke, not fantasy. But as I already stated, she may have an helmet to use, she's just not wearing it right now in this pic, or maybe it was damaged, there can be explanations... Now for a warrior woman to be wearing a metal bikini... That's just nonsense! It's like te artist is saying "hey, Im gonna draw a naked girl with a sword and then put a big, decorated helmet, gloves and boots, and some metal scales to cover her nipples and genitals" then why don't you just draw a naked warrior? A lot of warriors fought naked (example norse berserker and some celtic warriors). Again, artists have their right to draw their sexy, bizarre-looking warriors, but then it comes to every game and every movie and series about fantasy themes to be like that, I believe if there were options these fantasy fans would be less concerned about it. Sci-fi fans too.
Not to mention it can be just offensive for females, specially due to all the historical masculism in media - and the world.

It makes more sense than her wearing armor that doesn't cover her chest area, which is what I see most of the time in my Inbox from the people I follow. That or armor that barely covers the body. I hope this answer clears up my earlier comment.

I'll tell ya what I told the last guy;
Wearing a full suit of armor but no helmet is like building a tank but leaving the fuel and engines totally uncovered and exposed. The armor becomes 100% pointless and a total hindrance; slowing it down immensely and leaving it helplessly vulnerable. A tank with no armor and it's crew exposed may be just as vulnerable and easily destroyed, but at least it's not lugging around all that insane amount of weight for no reason and slowing itself down. It's the same with armor.
Look, I totally get why somebody wouldn't like sexy armor or chainmail bikinis because of personal taste; it's totally fine if you don't like that stuff. But it irritates me when people say that it's because "it's impractical" or "it's not realistic". That's not the real reason it bothers you, is it? It's fantasy; a fictional world full of fantastical elements that don't, and couldn't, possibly exist in real life. It's already physically impossible and totally illogical. That's why it's fun. Warcraft armor is 100% impractical and physically impossible, but NOBODY ever complains about that; because really people are not concerned about how reasonable realistic it is, but about the fact that it's sexy.
If people just said what they really meant: "I don't like chainmail bikinis and boob armor because I don't like sexualized female characters" that'd be totally OK. But a lot of people seem to be under this weird idea that just because an outfit is not sexual, it's somehow realistic or practical. Dragons are scientifically impossible, but no one complains about how "unrealistic" or "impractical" their bodies are or how flying with that much body weight is not possible or how breathing fire is "unreasonable".
I probably shouldn't care so much, idk. You like what you like.

Dammit, I wrote a long reply but the dA app gave me the error message and I lost it. I'll make it shorter this time.
I live revealing armors more than full-body ones because they're sexier, but I was talking to a friend the other day about how dangerous it'd be to fight in the armors I've drawn in the past and told her that I'll do my best to draw a more practical one.
Then I saw this and I thought it looked great and that it makes more sense than the bikini chainmail armor.
I actually get annoyed by all these people attacking game developers and artists for drawing revealing armors. I guess it's my fault for going hyper but I liked it that much. I'm sorry. I'll go away now...

I agree. Is not practical and seems to bee too thick and heavy. It IS COOL thou.

Yeah, just because it's not sexualized doesn't mean it's reasonable or realistic, like a lot of people seem to think. But it's fantasy; it's cool and interesting, it doesn't have to make sense.
I totally understand why someone wouldn't like the whole sexy boob armor and chainmail bikini thing; lots of people don't like sexualized characters. But it's irritating how some people say they don't like it because it's "unrealistic" or "impractical". Fantasy is already 100% physically impossible and totally illogical; putting characters in unsexualized outfits doesn't change that. If people were really bothered by unrealistic or impractical things in fantasy, they wouldn't play or watch anything with magic or dragons or fantastical environments.
