New armor concept - Iron Flower

Something I put together after looking at too much Sword Art Online, Fire Emblem, and Tales of Xillia (really anything outta the Tales of franchise).

Went for a more modest/practical look here. Sometimes I enjoy exploring unisex designs, especially in uniforms (thank you, Attack on Titan). Moderate-to-total skin coverage has to do with the specific character I had in mind when drawing this but it's also something I prefer and don't see enough of in fantasy series, animated or otherwise. I love some sexy outfits and a lot of the time they can be fun, but when they're seemingly EVERYWHERE it just leaves me rolling my eyes.

Hoping to work up some back and side views along with some detailed close-ups on the individual pieces (How I ended up with those gauntlets I'll never know; this is my brain's idea of "simplicity"). Once I figure out the color scheme I'll add that here too! I have a ton of fun designing these outfits.

The layered armor plates and cut of the skirt made me think of a flower, so... TITLE.
