I don’t draw fantasy much but I figured I need to do some for like portfolios n shit. It’s not properly finished but I’m too tired to check all the edges. So I used armour from Norton Armouries where my boyfriend works (and I’ve worked at a few times) so it’s real armour that you can buy, link below. Since it’s a female orc I though I’d tag in @bikiniarmorbattledamage since it’s non-bikini-semi-sensible armour for an orc which they sometimes like to post instead of the bad stuff. I added beads to the hair cos she likes to accessorise and aint afraid to be feminine.

Lady orc warriors that don’t look just like supermodels painted green (or blue) are always welcome on BABD, especially when they wear non-sexualized armor (or, at the very least, are equally empowered across all genders)!

This piece also shows the importance of using real armor as reference.
And while she would score some bingo points for having bits of skin uncovered, what’s crucial about that character is how non-objectified her design is.

Thank you for tagging us, @chrissieblog!

I believe the second image was submitted to BABD ages ago and I never got around to come up with commentary. 

The thing is, Codename: Kids Next Door, as a cartoon with a silly premise played up to 11, has a sense of self-awareness

In a show that has characters named Count Spankulot or Toilenator, bras that transform into armor (boobplate included, of course!) are well within the realm of possibility.

Not so much in fantasy/sci-fi settings that otherwise take themselves seriously. 

Another advantage KND’s bra armor has over all that “mature” media that has battle bikinis? Boys wear it too, boobplate and all.
