Well, he can still fight battles... against his master's advances... and he will always loose...

I wonder, how was he actually captured. Was it a kind of large scale battle?

that's a whole story about that and i hope i'll draw about it someday) short version - he goes to his first battle but their army losed. elite enemy warriors were there to capture as many noble persons as possible to sale them, and Carnelian was caught too

Guess a lot of young and inexperienced Knights and other Nobles were either slain or captured on that day...

As for Carnelian, he looks fantastic in this Armor. Which in itself looks good in my opinion, you did a good job on the plate, even when I think the armpit-shields are a bit small and his loin area lacks protection. But this comes with the field of creating fantasy Armor. *gives seal of approval* Did you ever consider drawing a full body image of him, clad in armor, with a helmet fittingly shaped for his head?

yes, Carnelian was not the only one who was caught there(

thank you) glad to hear this armor looks well) i try ti learn real armor construction and to make it looks interesting on my taste at the same time, and i far away from being perfect in both X)
and yes, i want to draw him in full armor and tell more about his life before that accident. someday i'll do it for sure)

I am looking forward to that day, I like this bust image of him allready, so I will mostlikely love to see a fullbody image of him.
