People were interested in some of my Jaggiri work, that I did, with more than a little assistance of Blythe "Collie" Collier. In looking through my work Hard drives I found a document from "The Wild Hunt" days of around 1992-3. In it was some I thought I might share some of it from the time capsule, and show people, that once I sucked big time too. These are two armoured Jaggiri, note the shorter muzzles and the lack of solid anatomy. Both traits common to my Jaggiri before I read a lot of Dinosaur anatomy books. Pencil on Paper Scott A. H.

Incredible work, and nice backstory with this one.
Somehow, the Jaggiri in the Western European armor seems to be making a complaint or pointing out some sort of slight, but I'll be darned if I can come up with a smart punchline at 0200 in the a.m. after spending ten hours filling out applications.

Three or four large 3 ring binders, Hundreds if not thousands of pages of artwork, and most of it completely in obscure context, lost on the modern audience. Remember the heyday of The Barr Wars (and it's follow on, the Bizarre Wars), was 1988 to 1993 or 4. Short, but sweet and productive.
Thank you. Ever since seeing an article in a gaming magazine about how historical armour was put together and worn, I was fascinated. (Same with uniforms), so I always try to sweat the details for armor and costumes. I want someone looking at the picture to be able to figure out how it actually works or to make it.
very good plan. many fantasy games don't know how to do it, even today. some game supplement for a german RPG added sidebars with curious, creative weapons, and included commentary on it's usefulness. the best one was a mix of ball-and-chain and cat-o-nine-tails. comment said noone trying it out survived the test yet...
where I grew up, and gamed, was the San Francisco bay Area, which was the origin point for the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), and therefore one could handle some real armour and get some indication of weapons. Any "flexible weapons like flails, morning stars and "staf flails were prohibited due to danger to all involved. XD
