One of my secret back pocket reference stashes for armour: www.european-armour.com/index.html
Wade Allen's collection is large, brilliantly documented, and generally useful to people making reproductions -- so it covers most of what you need as an artist!

It's NaNoWriMo time again, which means I'm back im Salzbergwerk writing The Queen's Guard, a series of novels set in something like the 17th/18th century Holy Roman Empire but fantasy: Sharpe, Wheel of Time, and German folk rock in a blender. If that seems like it might be fun, check it out?
The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honoura...

Quote post with a photo of water you took.

Betty's Bay (South Africa) at low tide. Not the greatest photo, but I still like it.

There's still context but it would still take too long to explain

"Two-handed sword", aha. There's an animated version but I don't think Bluesky has the technology.

#DnD chatter:
"I've never heard of a one-handed greatsword."
"Greatswords don't have hands."
"What if they did?"
Presenting the... sechshänder? Wiggling fingers optional. I was tooling around with sculpting it as well but didn't make much progress. Maybe later.

Giving up and calling it done. Hypothetical older brother of a #DnD character of mine, with only the small caveat that D&D isn't really equipped to explain a 700 year old Barbarian that isn't somewhere on the level of a minor deity.

This is turning into one of those ones where I probably learned a lot but hate everything about it. Still a WIP.

In an effort to be slightly more active than I usually am on social media, here's a WIP. D&D backgrounds aren't quite equipped for explaining the existence of a seven hundred year old Barbarian who is not a minor deity, so he will probably never see play, but the concept is still fun.

A Guild Wars 2 character I drew for a friend!
