Always a pleasure seeing Tolkien inspired art. Does anyone else see inspirations from sea life in the armor, it'd fit seeing how Númenor is on an island.
There's definitely some kind snail shell thing going on. It's even more visible in the drawings of earlier Numenorean soldiers.
The artist goes into some detail here - apparently this comes from an actual drawing by Tolkien of a helmet, although the original is a lot more ridiculous, Turner Mohan has taken that idea and made it into a more reasonable design.
