Slut Gauntlets

I unironically believe that full knight armor is one of the sluttiest things a person can wear. Anyone can walk around with their tits out, but it takes a special type of pervert to spend exorbitant amounts of money to construct an exoskeleton that sharpens and accentuates their natural form while literally making them shine. Irredeemably lecherous behavior.

...Huh! One of my favorite shitty fictional knights wears those "oven mitts with rivets"-looking gauntlets and while they are absolutely 100% the least hot thing on this page, this may prove useful reference material. I don't see that style a lot in fantasy art, probably because it's not hot.

All the fully articulated styles, though, damn. Daaaaaaaaamn. Thank you for sharing this.

Ohohohoho are the knight's delicate fingers so beautiful and precious that they have to be covered with an extra layer of protective steel? How salacious!

For what it's worth, my current character in Elden Ring (who is named Italian Manwhore Summer) has currently got this style of gauntlets equipped, and the visual contrast between the protective outer plating and his gloved fingers is quite striking when he flips his hands to perform gestures. I'm generally in the critical camp that opposes visual realism in video games, but I can't deny that the lads at FromSoft are cooking with fire.

(Well it actually turns out that one hand has like fucked-up dragon claws, so the "mitten" form factor no doubt helps disguise that and the resultant asymmetry - but hmm, there is an element of concealing one's Shameful Secret (and the secret is hands))

...You are really selling this, ngl.
