#kastenbrust

Historically inspired Hero of Time! This started as Linked Universe fan art and still kind of is but has started to morph into a bit of it's own thing as I've started making my own little historically inspired redesigns of various Zelda characters! The armor was mostly based on late 15th century German "kastenbrust" style plate armor, with the cuirass as a blend more of greco-roman muscle cuirasses with the fierce deity's armor from Majora's Mask (got the idea from @nancyheart11 !) My background is more in technical drafting than it is in drawing organic things like people and clothing so my actual character design and proportion has a long way to go, but I'm getting there! I'll probably redo this eventually when I have more practice.

Normalize girls having full panoply of Gothic, alwyt, or Kastenbrust plate. Normalize girls having brigandine harness. Normalize girls having two chargers, a palfrey, pack horses and prickers for their squires and serjeants. Normalize girls packed so tightly on horseback a tossed glove wouldn't touch ground for a mile's length.

Man muss schon ganz schön was auf der Kastenbrust haben um ein Unternehmen, wie Twitter für 44 Milliarden in den Sand zu setzen. Rich Bitch hat es verkackt.
