Hey everyone, last day I made, well it's not really a concept, just an idea, it could be made of words, but it's a drawing.

So I let you see it, and tell me what you think.

Definitely medieval European, so that's that certainly right look.

Just on a side note, the hilt of that sword is disproportionally small compared to the blade.  Typically slashing swords have large hilts.  This means they could be used as two-handed weapons if the need or opportunity arises, and it also makes the pommel more effective as a counter-weight.  The halberd and crossbows look right.

You'd look much dumber if you chose not to wear one and got a spear right through your mouth.  We can always go with a different style; including these two we have three great candidates for styles.

Same style as the knights of Warcraft I.  Stylistically I want to avoid having overlap with Nisyrra, which I'd like to have Greek style helmets.

About the sword, indeed the hilt is a bit short, but I don't know if they should be have a two-handed sword if they are going to have a shield.

And about the helmets, I hate the last one Tongue But I agree with you 2playames that "my" helmet give them a "moonkey" style!

Generally longswords are always made with a hilt long enough to be two-handed.  It gives a better balance, and allows them to be used two-handed if need be.  Also since it doesn't preclude the use of a shield, there really isn't a downside.
