With Lily's nude version posted I also wanted to share her actual armor.
Designing it I wanted something fitting for a barbarian character that's somewhat practical while still allowing plenty of movement and protection, while still showing off enough skin that they're not going to be confused for a fighter. Even if she herself doesn't consider herself a barbarian. Just a warrior who uses her strength as her primary weapon.

Gotta say, I love how the breastplate doesn't have boob plates on it. They aren't very practical to have on metallic armor, even if said armor is worn by a femme barbarian.
Also I'm sure any possible mild discomfort with the breasts being compressed under the plate is better than getting a blade though the chest, heh!

Yeah Lily isn't really the type to have boob plate. I don't really include it unless it's a character that's unlikely to actually be in combat (like a commander) or something purely ceremonial.
Funnily enough it's not as impractical as you'd think it would be! You're not stabbing through plate no matter how much you want to try, that said, with how most large people draw it it's going to get in the way of your swings more often than anything! XD
I could go on, it's an interesting topic to discuss considering how ridiculous some armor was. The historian inside me spent ages looking into the topic when I first saw the debate coming up.
Lily's armor here is based on the old sword and sorcery genre like Conan and others, since a more realistic version would just cover her completely. And good luck to anyone who wakes her up in a fight. In that situation you're getting an angry naked dragon in your face!
