I like your pictures, because there normally very realistic, but... Even if she has left as her favorite hand, she can not wield a hellbard in one hand. There to bulky. And why is there no armor under her arms ? There is an artery. It has to be protected, or the whole armor is useless. Same at her solar plexus. O.o
Your pictures are very good, even in details - why is this an exception ? :-/

Super cool! She looks like a knight of Osgiliath. And only a true badass would duel wield a sword and a goddamn halberd!

Absolutely fantastic in terms of coloring and detail-richness. The only minus is the armor design (seriously... why wear an armor at all if the vulnerable armpit is not covered?). If you had given her a practical armor I'd pay any price to own this.

Ummm....unrealistically impractical armor there which society has a bad habit of depicting women warriors as.

Actually it's far more practical than a lot of armor people are rendering women in. the only part that makes me unhappy is the grieves having high heels.

That's what I was especially referring to actually.

Oh man, I hadn't even noticed those until you pointed them out. I was too fixated on the immense impracticality of a plunging neckline on a breastplate. C'mon, dude!

Always loved this piece. Kinda has a Joan of Arc quality about it.

This is truely a great painting !
You're a very skilled artist, and you got good reference, it's obvious !
There is just few things disturbing for me
If it ad to be realistic (according to your style and the big part of the armor.
Ad a gambeson for her, this way the armor won't hurt her beautifull skin 
Perhaps too much heels
And , okay here i'm becoming touchy.. if we can see here helmet somewere on the pic that can be great!
(any > ad this marvelous work to his favorite)
Keep going !

I always liked the GURPS magic item, Chainmail Bikini. The "mail" is all there, its just parts are invisible due to magic, so it fully protects you. ^^
Might explain her missing armor bits too.
Very NICE picture.

There is a rule for that : the protection is inversely proportionnal to the surface of chainmail ^^

Reminds me of some Soul Calibur armor. What did you use as a reference?

When I was a child, there was a series of fairy tale books published by Ladybird, this reminds me of the artwork from those books!

Awesome character! Such nice sheen on the armour. Are you going to make a version with armour over the vunrable spots?

A chick with armour that covers her WHOLE BODY??????!?!?! What is this Madness?? but seriously this is awesome - she looks badass, I wouldn't mess with her 
π: 0 β©: 1
Whole body EXCEPT for the heart + lung region, because that's also where the cleavage is
But yes, I otherwise agree!

I honestly hadn't spotted that until you mentioned it

Yeah, it is well done, and the pieces ARE authentic, she's just missing one. I totally understand what the artist did and why they did it, but people need to be informed before they can make these decisions. The artist selectively modified historic armour to be more attractive, rather than designing something completely fake.

You know if it were entirely a personal piece I'd cover her up completely but like I said this was done for Heavy Metal Magazine; the readership expects some cleavage.
Interestingly you made a pretty accurate observation about my methodology for armor design.

^.^ Excellent, and I have quite a lot of respect for you, either way. You can ALWAYS tell when someone knows what they're doing, or if they're only pretending. Onya, mate

this bitch almost knows how to wear armor, unlike the other one.
this one needs a lot to learn but she could sure help that other lady in her super stab-able outfit.
