^doodles of the guy (and some other things) i was talking about his name is victor he goes by any pronouns, there's also @igamer12 's wizard in here (long hair and round glasses). more info about viccy under the cut i guess

also erm. i know dogshit about adventure time, which vic is an oc for but whatever <Cain's idea so complain to it /joking. coming back on track, she's a living suit of armor that's also a cowboy that's also a sand wizard. their hobbies include lying for fun which i think is quite nicely captured in half the drawings i did. it also goes by like fifty different names, but the, so to speak, official one is victor (it doesn't mind diminutives or how you spell it). really doesn't use magic that often, prefers the sword, which is named big iron. also has a skeleton horse called sugarcube but i haven't really drawn that

[medievalsnippets]

dim what if helmets were made to make the shape of an animal like the one in dungeon meshi, would it be practical? What animal head do you think is the most practical for fighting/lancing :D

Image source Helmets would often have animalistic elements either out of coincidence, or as part of its decorative design.

One example is this 15th century sallet, which would've almost definitely inspired the living armor helmet seen in dungeon meshi.

Other armor pieces, such as the visors of late 14th century bascinets, adopted a beak form to help deflect attacks (particularly arrows) from the front.

While helmets such as the lion sallet would've almost definitely been worse for protection than a 'normal' helmet, it would've been important to people to dress well for their potential death, as well as indicating to enemy soldiers their economic class (i.e to be potentially held for ransom).
