Well okay then. :)
Well thank you! I didn’t mean to sound defensive, so sorry if I did. I just wanted to share what I did to make the armour. I also see all of the ways in which “sexy” armour is silly and useless, like the thing that you pointed out, which is why I’m at least aiming for being only partly silly, as opposed to entirely silly. :)
In case anyone is interested, inspirations (to which I was totally not historically faithful, and may not themselves be totally accurate) include things like:

And yes, while not AS structurally bad as boob-armour, those cuirassed with molded pecs were actually a (very silly) thing: https://periklisdeligiannis.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/metropolitan-museum-of-art.jpg
Yes, under the armour she is naked. Unless you count leather pants. I’d assume there is SOME padding under the metal. XD
Edited
By “armour details” I meant the specific iconography that is embossed onto the armour is taken from a variety of historical sources from several cultures, as opposed to something I can take credit for drawing myself, or something stolen from someone’s Deviantart. :P
To be fair, I did ALSO do a lot of research into early Mediterranean bronze-age armour, and the overall skimpiness is actually based on some of that. However, it is at best “historically inspired”.
So I took a realistic base and sexed it up instead of just starting from whole cloth (whole plate?) but my priority was looking cool while not being AS stupid as a lot of “sexy armour”, as opposed to actually trying to be particularly accurate.
plus she’s like naked under the armor?
