Winged Hussar Penelope (raw sketch)

I've had an idea to draw a character in winged hussar's armour since I got interested in the military. After various experiments, I managed to develop a convincing sketch depicting Penelope clad in the classic suit of armour used by our cavalry between 1570 and 1730 - over 150 years of service until it became obsolete in the 18th century.
