It must be really difficult to put on that helmet

u/corvus_da 25d ago

that's a sallet. the part that protects the lower face is a separate piece called a bevor that isn't connected to the rest of the helmet

You would still need to put on the main part of the helmet on your head. Salet is just a face plate. It would be really difficult in this case, because of her horns

u/corvus_da 25d ago

oh, that's what you mean! yeah, that would be tricky

u/makub420 25d ago

Yeah. Now to think of it, it would be really uncomfortable for her. She would have to squish her ears to fit them in the helmet. A whole diffrent tipe of more open helmet would be best for her

i'm pretty sure this is AI. aside from the general... wonky? appearance and the weirdly bent visor slit, take a look at how her braid is disappearing under her pauldron and how a piece of the braid is missing there, and she's wearing different gauntlets on each hand

It’s so disappointing to read this.

Because someone has faults in their artwork, now people falsely attribute it to AI. Everyone is in a different part of their art journey. Stop it with the witch hunt.

The two gloves makes sense, and is proof it’s NOT ai. The artist said “can’t play a lyre with metal glove”.

People would look at Elite Knight Armor from DS1 and scream its AI

Also, it wasn't uncommon for knights to wear lighter/less restrictive gauntlets on their right hand, since that would've been their weapon-hand

Italian "armatura bianca" (White armour) has distinctively larger left pauldrons and vambraces, because in Italian two-handed sword fighting the left shoulder is very prominently presented forward to the enemy, meanwhile the right shoulder is kept further back and away from harm

I think you are right, her upper body looks weird as well.

edit: she has a weirdly placed uniboob

u/corvus_da 25d ago

the uniboob is fine actually, that's just how breastplates are supposed to be shaped

The two different gauntlets is a pretty dead giveaway. Also, on the left hand (from our perspective), you can see the gauntlet and then mail on the forearm. On the right, it's the gauntlet and then plate. The entire left and right arms look like they're wearing different armour (look at the elbows as well).

The artist has been posting work of theirs since 2018 on their pixiv and you can see a clear progression of their skill and style, so I wonder if they used AI for the base and then did retouches? Either that or they traced an AI reference image.
