Armor/character designs based on the heroin Jeanne d’arc.
What a nice example of what taking real historical armors as a reference can result in!

Tidy up Tuesday #50
Longer tidy up after two weeks:
Rose of Winter’s playable DEMO (with music by Undertale’s Toby Fox) is here! Check it out to see how it’s worth all the support on Steam Greenlight!
While lack of helmet isn’t realistically a good thing for armor design (and often gets used as a tool of gendered double standards – hence it’s on the bingo), we do not think an otherwise positive example should be considered ruined or invalid because of it.
Don’t feel shy to send us a redraw/redesign of bad armor, we’d be happy to have it among positive examples!
When submitting a bingo to BABD, mark it however you want, even in MS Paint. Ozzie, for example, uploads blank card to her sta.sh and scribbles on it with deviantArt Muro – feel free to do the same if you have dA account.
Things we addressed before:
- Our thoughts on Fate series, particularly Saber/Artoria, by far their only positive example of female warrior (and even she’s not always safe).
- The “Choose your character” ad for Game of War.
- Zarya and the fact that she’s (loosely) based on a Russian Blizzard employee.
- @thechrishaley‘s Superman’s new costume with glorious chest (hair) window.
- Wartune web banner appaering next to the most ironically unsuiting Polygon article for it.
- How much hope we have in the Wonder Woman movie (not much): here, here and here
Oh, and for those who are still enraged at our male empowerment tag – remember that avoiding it is as easy as not following our blog. Avoiding similar examples with female characters is as simple as traversing to an alternative reality or moving to another planet.

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!
