I must say though, that wearing the armour- even though it weighted some 35 kilos - was
absolutely awesome 😁😁
And also really good for when someone was swinging an axe at you...
Just the helmet - the helmet was hell I must admit (also because it weighted around 9 kilos itself). I wonder if maybe even in medieval times while travelling and such you'd take off the helmet and gloves (overheating), and put them back only when danger approached... So maayybe drawing our beloved characters in armour but without helmet wouldn't be that much unrealistic (except in battle. In battle you REALLY want the helmet!)?
Even though there were probably riding helmets and such, but still, the weight... No wonder Niccolò Modrussa describes Vlad as having a bull's neck, yeah, you need that for that! You have no idea how much my neck hurts rn, I'd trade with Vlad immediately XD
Also it's a whole thing with medieval characters and being bare-headed, as apparently 99% of human history humans did wear something on their heads (well makes sense against sun stroke and fire smoke). But my heart sinks a bit when I can't draw those flowing hair 🥹😆
