Oh, I just LOVE when a commission involves designing armors or weaponry! I always have a blast with that!
Super fun colored sketch commission for
xanderh featuring their character River donning her blackened armor!
The background is different than what I usually do simply because this image is meant to be used as part of a reference sheet, together with some other drawings I may post in the next days.
Also, let's be honest: blackened armors are the sexiest thing ever!

It is accurate here! So many people think a gauntlet is a metal where you put your hands. It is not, if it was your swordplay would be more or less worthless. Just use a mace, you are not going to cut for shit. When using a blade you have to know your edge alignment and you use your hands to do this, metal on the palm side of your gauntlet makes this impossible, and thus fighting with a blade is not *totally worthless* but for other reasons the gauntlets still suck
It's actually fairly feminine in shape compared to the real ones, it just doesn't have separate boob plates ;)
It's not that clear from this image, but the curve of the breastplate is somewhat pronounced and starts at the chest instead of at navel level. It's somewhat obscured by the pauldrons. It'll be a lot more obvious in one of the other pieces of the ref sheet, and I imagine 0laffson will be posting that one as well

She's neither snow nor cheetah ;)
Her father was a black jaguar and her mother was a white tiger. Hence the spots on the head and barely visible stripe on the exposed bit of tail.
Technically, the scientific term would probably be "jagger" or something like that, but that's just awful :P
