So, this one took me longer than I expected. In addition, I fell victim to the seasonal flu, which further impeded my progress on my personal projects.

In any case, I am fairly happy with how this Klyuch "character reference" turned out. Chainmail armor is pretty underrated in media nowadays, so I really wanted do represent her wearing a hauberk, while still spicing her design up with some fancy belts, buckles and decorations.

While not fully consistent in itself, this image will definitely help me represent her more consistently in future illustrations. Now, of course, I need to do one for her face, as well as reference sheets for a number of other characters…

There are many instances of repair and refurbishment. A constant battle is waged against rust as attested by numerous payments for oil and bran: by rolling mail defences in a scouring barrel the bran acts as an effective abrasive. Elbow grease was often the most effective (and cost effective) 'substance'. For every piece of plate armour referred to as 'burnished' or 'white', a man (or boy) would be required to diligently polish it to a mirror finish. Emery from Alexandria was used on Edward of Caernarfon's harness and one pound of the stuff on Henry, earl of Derby's. There are white shammies for polishing hauberks and many bespoke trunks, coffers, and bags constructed for the carriage of weapons and armour.
