Princess Gisla + Blue Battle Costume
@bikiniarmorbattledamage? Boobplate and chainmail veil? Good luck untangling that from her hair!
LOL, this looks like designed by someone who heard about armor and maybe saw a picture or two of it, but never got the hang of what it’s supposed to do.

It’s kind of amazing that this is from Vikings, a show which has both shown us they can do convincing aesthetic and is at least fairly interested in doing the historical research.
Yet somehow, they’ve managed to not only product this thing but also put it in the same shots as fairly convincing real battlefield armor – making Gisla look like an extra from a fantasy movie production who accidentally wandered onto the wrong set.

There’s more to a knight’s life than just fighting… romance, for instance. Rose of Winter, a cute fantasy visual novel about Rosemary – a knight with a mission to protect and guide one of four handsome princes through snowy mountain pass, is on Steam Greenlight now!
Please vote for it; we’d be happy to add it to our Curator list.
I personally have a lot of faith in this project’s quality, since its writer and creative director is Magnolia Porter (@magnoliapearl), author of an awesome webcomic, Monster Pulse (she also did some additional designs for Undertale!). Other talented artists involved are Aatmaja Pandya (@aatmajapandya) and Victoria Grace Elliot (@googtown).
It deserves all the support!

To balance out Destiny of Ancient Kingoms’ absolute lack of any Norse mythology elements, even though they claim to be based on it, here’s a project which does honor that culture… with male empowerment!
Seriously though, apart from Jotun, which is unironically good, this is the most knowledgeable spin on Nordic legends that deserved to be featured on BABD (even if not all of those gods are actually Æsir, I’ll let that slide for the sake of double entendre 😉
