Some pointers on the armour (look at me, giving the person with the art degree pointers c.c wow I'm ballsy..
1) While the way you did the breasts is feasible in armour, it is a fair bit harder from a practical standpoint to do. Usually in "common" armour for women, they just used a single "prow" shape to give room for the breasts.
2) Often times in armour, especially lower class western styles, instead of having the chain or plated leggings, they used a chain/plater/padded leather skirt, to provide better range of movement for the legs, as well as provider overall larger area of protection. Just suggesting this one because I figure even a chainmail skirt would be easier for you to draw than a setr of plated leggings.
Other than those two suggestions, it looks good.

This could be mean of me, but this is one of the reasons I love your art. ^.^ It's not perfect! It's great, but doesn't leave me staring at it with "I'll never be that good" written all over my face.
I intend to use this picture for reference the next time I get the bright idea to try drawing armor. The design may be a little flawed but it still looks like it should I think. =3

*chuckles* I make no claims on perfection. The day I stop learning and working to improve my skill is the day I fail at being an artist. All I know is I'm getting better as I keep practicing. Maybe one day I'll reach some nebulous goal that puts me in the "wow" category as an artist, but I'm in no hurry. ^_^
