Well okay then. :)

you didn’t sound defensive, and I wouldn’t have blamed you if you did get defensive. I just wanted you to know I wasn’t trying to bash you or anything. Honestly nothing wrong with sexy armor being impractical and I don’t think the fact that it’s impractical that people should not make it. It’s creative and one of the points of creativity is to not be bound by rules or law.

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. :)

and don’t get me wrong, amazing work on this

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

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.

Are you sure the armor is historical lol? humps for the boob in the breastplate would cause all the pressure to go to her sternum which is not good  
plus she’s like naked under the armor?
