This video is an overview of the armour design in Power Fantasy, my inspirations when I'm drawing, and some information as to how the armour ties into the wider history of the setting. If you'd like to get involved in improving this channel and the content I make, join the discord!

    this scratches the exact itch ive been having in worldbuilding, too many settings just copy and paste without making these considerations
  • @potatokilr7789
    Finally, fantasy armor that makes sense, seems realistic, and looks usable
  • @DaN-ri7eh
    the armour itch is finally being scratched
  • @iws04
    Would love to see a longer video describing the evolution over time within the context of your world!
  • @kyper_belt
    Omg the evolution of armor/clothing is so difficult to capture accurately. I’m rather scared that I’m going to have to do this for my project eventually, but it’s really admirable seeing other people be so meticulous about it
  • Now imagine this with sci-fi. Modern military grade practical designs that look DOPE
  • @OttoPussner
    Oh my god it's so refreshing to see a focus on a grounded eastern fantasy. I've slogged through so much orientalism that I started this video with a side-eye but now I'm really eager to see what's next.
  • @Will_Forge
    This is the best "fantasy" armor I've ever seen. I'd go so far to call this "medieval hard sci-fi armor" instead of "fantasy". This is amazing. 😍😍
  • @PersistentMeow
    would love to see like longer videos going really deep into the considerations here, i’m invested now lol
  • I love that you're putting this much thought into armour design across time, and I'd love to see more videos about your setting! If you want to focus on the topics of armour design, weapon design, warfare, and so forth, future videos could involve talking about specific states/cultures at certain times, discussing the main pressures on their armour, weaponry, and tactics (material availability, what enemies they have, etc.), and then explaining how they responded to these pressures alongside a discussion of your own process of designing and painting the relevant art. That's the kind of video I'd find fascinating, but I'm sure to watch whatever you put out next!

    Very well thought out and reasonably concluded! Way better than just copy/pasting 16th century Italian armor into any given era or setting
  • @generalsmite7167
    This is really cool to see as such things are rarely covered even in historical fictions. Something to consider is how tactics and weaponry of the period affect why armor was used not just technological advances. A good example to look at is the development of Roman armor as it changed over a thousand years to accommodate new tactics and technologies.
  • @user-rc6bk3bq5o
    This just gave me so many ideas to flesh out my worldbuilding, thank you, and I love the designs!
  • @darkkillerx29
    War, war never changes yet it is the most dynamic thing in human history
  • @HaroldTinPot
    WOOOHOOOOO!! i’ve been waiting for so long💪
  • All power to you. This a truly interesting pursuit of creativity and vast technical understanding. I, like many, am excided to see what you have started become more. My best of wishes.
  • @zackahead5563
    So much thought went into the beautiful and unique designs
  • @shem6844
    There's this African kingdom called Benin, and the armor they had looked amazing. I feel like African, Indian, and others alike are easily overlooked since they're also such rich and a rainbow of cultures
