I was watching 'Ladyhawke' the other day and I had to think of 90's Daryun. Its one of those cases where I would believe if one took some inspiration from the other.
Rutger Hauer as Etienne of Navarre in 'Ladyhawke' (1985)
Daryun from 'The Heroic Legend of Arslan', designs by Chisato Nakamura for the manga (1991-1996) and Sachiko Kamimura for the OVA (1991-1995).
