I was supposed to work on stuff to sell at the London Expo convention in May, but I've been awfully sick all day and didn't want to risk ruining what I've already made, so here are some almost-naked fantasy warriors instead.

I've always been an "all or nothing" kinda' girl when it came to skimpy armor, meaning either both men and women wear proper armor, or broth men and women wear ridicules ineffective armor that shows too much skin. I'm fine with either. It's when only the women look like fantasy strippers that I get a bit pissed off.
(Luckily we don't have that problem around here in fantasy [link] :XD:)

When I was a horny teenager being bored in school I made up a type of warriors that as a rule wore very little armor as a way of saying, "Fuck you! I don't need armor to beat you!" to their enemies, and to feed my latent dominatrix mind they were of course ruled by a warrior queen. People within the universe were just as confused about the skimpiness as people in our world would be, so lets just say people noticed them. ;)
It was never a story, just a collection of scenes, though there were recurring characters, like the guy and girl at the bottom.

I have always thought that most armor when it is skimpy on a female actually makes it look really stupid. They have these really cool armor models and then they completely destroy them to turn it into a bra, such a waste. Showing some extra skin is not a good excuse for taking away all the style the armor had. Cloth armor i can usually give a pass to but heavy plate almost never turns out OK. Unless, as you put it, the armor basically says "Fuck you, I don't need armor."

The thing is, gladiators actually did dress rather like this more often then not. I don't know if that's at all relevant, but my inner history nerd compelled me to point it out.

God. All of these dudes remind me of the 80's... when both men and women were scantily clad in Barbarian Sword n Sorcery flicks.

Is equal opportunity exploitation really progressive, I wonder?

...Well, in fantasy games, usually the women walk around with impractical, skimpy armor. Nice to see it the other way around for a change. xD

Definitely agree, it's only when covered/skimpy becomes a gender double-standard that I get angry.

I enjoy the blond :D

Or, if World of Warcraft armor worked the same way for males as it does for females this picture would be the result.
