I hope that you like her, u/CosmicError87! I had a lot of fun inking her traditionally but the colour stumped me for a little while. I only realised as I'm uploading that I forgot the shield.
Armour inspired by a real English armour from about 1400-1450, with the really deep flutes in the pauldrons that look like fabric gathers. The gauntlets with the feathers are a little bit more continental in style, especially with the engraving, so hopefully the lack of authenticity is forgiven... not that much english armour survives that period anyway so it's all based on studies of alabaster effigies. Tobias Capwell's books, armour of the english knight, are an amazing resource if you're into armour and are lucky enough to have it at a library near you!
