What what’s this from who is this @bikiniarmorbattledamage help me it’s so good that I think I might be dreaming ;-; thank you tumblr

I really love how this combines fashion and function by strategically putting the decorative layers over the top of armor where opportunity allows.

Awesome work.

We’ve featured Duelyst before, so the quality of the designs isn’t the surprise – it’s them being praised like they’re something exceptional. In the interest of fairness, let me share the positive example from the article:

And there are a couple that are not quite as terrible.

But seriously, if this is the best character art video games can produce we need to try switching them off and then back on again.

Made a quick video of how I put armour on by myself, with the help of my trusty coat-hanger, Squire. There’s no crappy talking, just me making a lot of dumb faces. I got halfway through filming before I realised I left my bracers in my car, whoops. Hope you guys like it. Feel free to ask me question.

It’s silly, but I had fun making it, and the music fits strangely well. 

@bikiniarmorbattledamage a more comprehensive video for ya’ll 😉

An awesome display of the process of putting over a basic set of plate armor without the assistance of a squire (which is how most people wearing it would have had to have put it on).

While traditionally we see illustrations showing plate armor being put on with an assistant, it’s worth remembering that we usually only see illustrations of knights who had already had squires and so put them to good use.  Men-at-arms without squires had to do things themselves.

That and throughout various periods in history people have designed clothes that can’t be put on without assistance purely to demonstrate that they were wealthy enough to a personal servant.

It’s Loli McSteampunch, the brass-knuckled waifu!

@bikiniarmorbattledamage presented without comment

Apparently her actual name is Mika… I’m sure that’s a coincidence as is the resemblance to a certain zombie slaying cheerleader.  And even she doesn’t seem that happy about being the latest in female characters who are given huge gauntlets in the hopes of making their bodies look tiny.

Add to that I’m kind of terrified with how they started her boots really wide, but then remembered they wanted her to have tiny feet – resulting in her legs looking like golf tees.
