Cute Tia is watching you watch her!

this is pretty cool! but her eyes they…they follow the screen. spooks me :o

@Stellarator  
Ah.
 
If I had to take a wild guess, I’d say “upper 25%” might refer to chest (and up) and “chubby” in this context could mean “big boobs” which together with the “pls” would form a request for a large-breasted version. :P  
But of course, I could be completely wrong.

@Exhumed Legume  
Whoops, I mis-tapped. That’ll teach me to try to comment on mobile. I was actually asking about @Elvin ’s “25%” comment

@Stellarator  
Which part?
 
 
@Barhandar  

Thought so. :P  
I think I’ve Read Somewhere™ that mail was more or less self-cleaning, what with all the rings rubbing together all the time, so I’d expect gilding or brazing to wear out pretty quickly even out of combat…

@Exhumed Legume  
Beg pardon? I’m not quite sure what you mean.

@Exhumed Legume  

 
Not very long, but depends on where the mail is. The more it bends, the faster gilding would wear out. Though it would be less noticeable than battle damage.  
>mayhaps they could cast a bunch of loose rings and teleport them into each other… Would require some serious precision.
 
Just use teleportation markers. Unicorn-powered manufactory, yay!  

 
Just like steel isn’t a single alloy, even though it’s defined by a single compound (FeC), bronze is defined by CuSn (not SnCu, that’s pewter).

@Stellarator  
Magic justifies a lot, eh? :D
 
In any case, it looks great.
 
 
@Barhandar  
I’ve had a casual fascination with smithing recently, and at first I was quite surprised to find out bronze isn’t a single alloy…
 
I wonder how long gilding would last on mail in use.
 
Yeah, I suppose switching the material could work, but telekinetically picking up dollops of molten metal, shaping it into interlocking rings and holding it all in place in the air until the latest rings solidify would look so much cooler! X)  
Hmm… Since we’re talking stupidly magical ways of making bronze or gold mail, mayhaps they could cast a bunch of loose rings and teleport them into each other… Would require some serious precision.

@Exhumed Legume  
Only some specific bronze alloys can be forged, the rest is forge-hardened instead. Same result as with tempering steel, except more effort.
 
…And then you get stuff like beryllium bronze, which is a bronze that has physical properties competing with stainless steel.
 
@Stellarator  
Gilding is a thing, also hug Celestia!  
Also, really pretty legs, there. Good job!
 
@Exhumed Legume  
Orrr said skilled unicorn smiths could shape the chainmail out of a different material and then switch said material with a block of cast bronze, effectively “transmuting” the chainmail. They tried telekinesis. It was stupid.

@Exhumed Legume
 
You are quite right about the chainmail. I like your headcanon justification, and overthinking stuff like this is one of the joys of life. :)
 
For what it’s worth, I meant to indicate that I looked at bronze age armour in order to determine what form factors were reasonable when one had only light coverage, rather than intending it to be period accurate. At least in terms of what material properties I’m using for the rendering engine, the armour is actually made of gold… which would be silly. But… magical god princess. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

@Exhumed Legume  
After a bit of searching, it turns out bronze can be forged, though I get the impression it’s a bit tricky.  
I still like the idea of telekinetically cast seamless mail rings, though. :P

@Stellarator  
Thank you for posting it. ;)
 
 
It bears noting, though, that chainmail is an iron age invention and basically impossible (or at least really impractical) to make out of bronze -bronze is cast, not forged, and you can’t cast interlocked rings in the amounts needed for mail- so if it were me designing a suit of bronze age-themed armor, I’d probably use leather-backed scales for the abdominal section and a leather pteruges.
 
Then again, this is a fantasy setting where magic exists, so I suppose a group of skilled unicorn smiths could painstakingly form the mail from molten bronze with telekinesis over a few weeks – which seems kind of fitting for royal armor, actually.
 
Yes, on second thought, the rank-and-file can keep the scales and leather skirts, royalty wears armor cast with magic! :D
 
 
_{^{… And now I think a khopesh would fit her quite nicely – Egyptians and their Sun gods and whatnot…}}

@Stellarator  
A chubby upper25% pls >_>

@Exhumed Legume
 
Yes it is, actually. I wanted to make armour that was a bit skimpy and sexy, but also not totally stupid, and (for various reasons) bronze age greek/mediterranean armour was a good source of references for having relatively light body coverage while still providing protection.
 
I’ll probably ALSO do a stupid sexy version, of course. :)
 
Thanks!

Neat.  
Also, pretty.  
Also also, nice armor design – ancient Roman-Greek-ish Egyptian-esque? With a touch of medieval European in the shape of that pauldron?  
Also also also, cute – martial attire notwithstanding. :)
 
_{^{||Nice touch with the eyes, by the way.||}}
