Wow, it's so good to see art from you again, finally! :D This looks stunning! I think you improved quite some? Didn't you?!
Keep it up, hun! :)

Thank you! :D With my density (scarcity) of art you can probably even see the improvement steps xD

MORE UPLOADS PLZ!!! >:(

It takes its time! :o (especially full finished pictures. I have a few sketches including humans, which, if, i'd rather upload to Deviantart o.o )

It seems that the "metallic implants" have "grown" over and around his horns, too! ^^ This is quite a cool design choice.
And you got rid of his hair... :O Well, I can't say whether this is good or bad... but it's YOUR choice.
And... being some kind of "scaly", I guess... it is good for Teivos to have NO hair!

The battle pose and armor style is also cool and very interesting.
Cool picture!

Actually, for the medievalish setting I simply swapped his "head computer" for a good deal of horns and nubsies ;)
I hope it makes a more harmonic look, when there is no hair on the medieval version!
Going fencing actually allowed me to picture the poses more accurately - a welcome side effect :D

Thank you! :D

Nice! I knew it was the wrath stance the minute I saw it! Or at least, something similar.

Thanks! That's exactly what it is, yeah! x)

This stance reminds me of the "Posta di Donna" of fencing master Fiore dei Liberi's fencing system. Or is it a version of the "Zornhau" from Joachim Meyer's fencing manual?

Heh, thanks! It's the "Zornhut" from Joachim Meyer's fencing manual. From this stance you go into the Zornhau, even though this stance isn't used much, because it's somewhat slower.

Ah, I understand! My knowledge about late medieval fencing systems is quite limited. Have you ever practiced a modern reconstruction of these martial arts? I am asking because I have heard that there are people who try to bring these extinct martial arts back to life.

I believe "limited knowledge about fencing systems" is already quite a high tier of knowledge - as extended knowledge exists nowadays only with few masters, who resurrected this art from the ashes of the oblivion!
I have practiced for almost 5 years now, a system loosely based on Joachim Meyers system (but good as an intro), and now I slowly swap to actual Joachim Meyer.
I didn't hear about Rostock yet, but my school sometimes cooperated with the Ostfriesisches Landesmuseum Emden and they are well networked with the fencing groups in the axis Germany - Czech republic - Slovakia.

Fascinating! I am very impressed! It is very good to see that there are people in Germany who still care about these old traditions! If you ever need academic help: there are a few very talented historians who deal with the subject. I am - unfortunately - not one of them, because fencing techniques are not a part of my current curriculum. I however plan to learn more about these old arts, because I find these indigenous European combat systems very interesting. They are completely different from all other martial arts which I have ever seen. The halfsword parts alone are highly perplexing.

Oh, there are a few, although one has to search them! (same as there are people who still commercially make Fachwerkhäuser and Reetdächer)
Oh? Contacts with good historians are always welcome :)
I can hardly compare them to other martial arts (since I never did any other yet), but those 5 years ago I was truly astonished to find out, that europeans also have martial arts! Now I find it normal, but when you don't know anything about it, you see -at best- people practicing some japanese fencing, becasue it's "in". I wish you good fortune in learning more! After all, there are similarities with other martial arts after all, since the mechanics of the human body are the same!
Halfswording, heh, that's an odd one. Counter-intuitive, but it makes sense, as it was often used in Harnischfechten and gave more control over the tip of the blade!

Thank you very! I agree! Hollywood movies do a terrible job showing actual European martial arts. The stage fencing which has become popular in modern movies is a mix between 19th century saber fencing and Asian martial arts, which is very unfortunate, because it does a terrible job in presenting actual martial arts.

Welcome! I see now where they got those fancy movements from. Mixing styles can bring some new ideas, but when people don't understand the core rules of using a certain weapon and just mix it without too much thinking about why the style was as it was, it can end being visually pleasing but rationally disfunctional <.<

Well said! People now seriously believe that rapiers were hacking and slashing weapons, instead of thrusting weapons.

Sure, one *can* slash with them, but yeah, exactly what you say! Like the classic misconception that two-handed swords are heavy and unwieldy.

Thank you! Hey, do you want the email address of the historian I know?

Oh, sure, yes! Sorry for tha late reply, life kinda catches up on one <.<

While we are at it: Do you know that there are historians at the University of Rostock who deal with this particular subject?
