Looks good... and I'm glad to see the armor protect the vitals. The corset/cuirass part of it needs to be in 2 pieces (or something) with buckled straps, otherwise she has no way to get it on (shoulders wider than waist). Front & back pieces is the usual solution, since the area under the arm can be protected and the tops of the shoulders can have another piece of armor or a cloak or a chain cowl helping to protect the joint. Given the realities of hammering out and wearing armor, I'd almost suggest flattening the chest a bit and telling the artist to make that part of the figure invisible. With the gorget at the neck, everything ought to be concealed, and it saves rendering time anyway. The other solution is to go with the operatic valkyrie look and call attention to the breasts, but even in the SCA they don't do that... at least not locally. ;^) Carolly
