The Tenshi Armor

Published:

Description

The Tenshi Armor; a custom samurai armor, designed my me!!!
One thing I have noticed, when I attempt to draw the whole human anatomy on a large scale, almost taking up the whole page, I tend to lack a lot on the legs for they tend to look too short.
I didn't know what else to name a particular suit of armor, provided that some custom made suits tend to have nomenclatures of sorts, but somehow the word Tenshi came to mind. Being that I named the suit Tenshi, I had to include the kanji as well: 天使. For some of you who don't know what Tenshi translates to, it means "Angel."
As stated before, I tend to give my personal samurai characters the Jimbaori (overcoat atop the armor), and the helmet crests was somewhat influenced by Koei's Samurai Warriors rendition of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's kabuto. The crest mounted on the back of the kabuto is symbolic of the Angel's Halo.
Note that I have also observed the shortcomings on the armor, Advanced Critique is absolutely encouraged.

The p.s. comment once placed here has been unregrettably removed, so don't ask what was once here.
