For some unspeakable reason I had the urge to draw a CANINE! Incredible isn’t it?!?
I also had the urge to draw a pavise shield. They are extremely underrated, considering how amazing some of the surviving ones look. Pavise shields were generally larger than the one I chose to draw, and were primarily used by crossbowmen, but as far as I know there were also smaller versions used by infantry as well. Crossbowmen or archers could stick the pavise to the ground by using a support and hide behind it to reload and shoot.
Both the design of the armor and the pavise are most likely not historically accurate, by the way. I didn’t spend too much time looking at references.
