Awesome Kit I Have Actually Seen Part 2 (Rosemary and Helly)

Yet more awesomeness of people i actually have the pleasure of playing games with.

Rosemary makes all sorts of awesome things, but those particularly featured belong to PD's Odyssey classical era game. This is particularly awesome, and is a great interpretation of the briefing image that can be found here (allowing of course for the fact that real women, unlike gods, do have to wear kit that obeys the laws of gravity).


This is another less gravity defying piece but just as interesting i think. It's not easy to do "interpretations of how female fighters would have looked in a well established historical culture where women weren't allowed to fight much" but this manages it, looking both practical and period.

Next up, bits of kit by Helly. The first two both come again from maelstrom, the main thing i think it cool about these is they are both of the same character, actually a warrior princess in a good way. Photos of the dress particularly don't ever seem to do the colour justice, it was relly vivid, and made a fantastic russling noise. The armour is just practical, sensible and protective, whilst still looking like it allows freedom of movement, something too rarely seen on pictures of armoured female "warriors".



Last but definitely not least, this is one of Helly's (many) Empire outfits, her Dawnish changeling general. I absolutely adore the red dress, the cut is just lovely and the colour is properly properly blood red. Also check out the sleeves on the underdress! Just amazing!
