Warriors [大唐复兴]

I have recently taken the liberty of making this piece of concept art of an imperial officer in full combat regalia during the High Tang era- consisting of the reigns of Empress Wu, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and the long reign of Emperor Xuanzong. I have always found the Tang helmets during this era really reminiscent of the early samurai armors, what's more interesting is that the Chinese themselves would discontinue such helmets while it became a common fixture of Japanese armor for a millennium afterwards.
