Idk what to call it.

Maybe I'll call it the far east army

Or the Kuroryuu

Anyway, it's this for now.

For the militia

(UPDATED)

(Made some changes to the shields)

For the swordsman

Honestly, I really want this them to not have shield but the game has then as shield bearer so I put some atleast.

Looks interesting.

Sword update 2

In the image of stage 2, Macazuvr's favorite raised hand is shown.

Maybe at stage 2 you will try to make your legs bent and the elbow more deflected to the left, as well as the katana longer and so that the arm with the shield would be more protruding forward?

Honestly, I'm no good with description so I didn't really understand.

For the sword. I only put the long one for the 3rd upg.

And here's spearman.

Change the color of the main armor though.

The halberd version

I foresaw this, so I drew what I mean.

Spearmen look cool

I'll try but the shield is a no

That looks unnatural.

I searched the Internet for how they hold a shield in their hand, but I did not find anything much, in any case, judging by the films and games, I used to think that they are being held leaning against their back with an elbow or even a shoulder, in this image I made him stretch his hand forward but his shield still rests against the elbow, I think that maybe it was worth turning the shield towards the elbow (as if it were diagonally forward), because of this it looks bad.

By the way, at stage 1 of the war, I think you need to lean the shield more against the torso, as it looks like he is holding it in his outstretched hand as a stop sign. And also if this is an Asian skin, I would like to see Asian straw hats instead of bandanas on all stage 1 fighters, otherwise they look like pirates, but in principle it may look like Asian pirates if you like it better.

The first stage shield is like holding a buckler which is what I saw from some samurai.

Idk if it's used as such but Japanese warriors tend to battle 1v1 even when they are on army level battles.

For the way they use shield, it depends but the one I took is the style where they put the arms to the elbow close to the shield and make the hand to level to the shoulder like they're touching. This is the reason why the arms looks inexistent.

And the bandana is more for the coloring. I was kinda contemplating if I should chance the dress color to their main and just kinda go for the team color

Yes, but in stage 1, the elbow does not touch the shield as in stages 2 and 3 (anyway, so it seems to me).

For stage one. No it won't. They actualy have to be closer to the enemy than your body.

Stage 2 and stage 3. The shield is touching the elbows. The arms is bent but the general direction of it is vertical.

Should be smt like this.

Well, in my imagination, a stage 1 swordsman is holding a shield like in picture 1; I drew it like in picture 2; but I think it will probably be better as in picture 3.

Yup, the one is what it is.

It should be like that for stage 1 as if you put it like the one you showed for 2 and 3, you wouldn't be able to move it as far as for one. It's a buckler after all.

Omg

This still looks cool AF

Do you plan to continue this pack, @DreJaDe?
