THE REST OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS! (Rough concept)

So everyone here but Jules (until Season 4 ish, that kinda place) would name their friend group Team Queen.

There’s Freddie (Frederick), he’s a rich kid from a wealthy family who also happens to be goth. He’s super kind, very fashion forward. His mortal wounds are on his palms and his weapons are a Broadsword, targe (circular arm shield) and dirk (the dagger he’s holding with his shield hand). A HEMA fencing thing! He died in a fire and his power.. which I’m now deciding to call “Saving Grace”, meaning ‘a power that would’ve saved someone from their death’ is being able to become fire. Not every saving grace is as obvious as his, sometimes they can be abstract. Many people can die in the same way but have completely different saving graces.

Carter is a sort of ‘mean girl’, she doesn’t adopt that title but she’s too insecure and defensive to change her behaviour. She’s fine, mostly, just very blunt. Her mortal wound is on her head, she was crushed between (working idea) two large, heavy objects. Her weapon is a sabre. I contemplate giving her dual sabres.

Captain V’s the captain of the royal guard and the adult of the group. They’re much older than most knights. Died by pushing someone out of the way of a falling diamond chandelier and being pierced in the back. Their weapon is a rapier which doesn’t have space to be drawn on the image 😭.

Yeah eventually Jules joins Team Queen and gets a haircut. Thinking about it, I wanna make it clear that Jules isn’t an Amity Blight type, she was ‘always’ kind and much softer and more naive. She’s the kind of antagonist that’s pretty kind cause she doesn’t think she’s… the antagonist. She’s just ‘aggressive’ to Sidra but in a pitying way because Sidra didn’t choose to be Queen. Captain V really dislikes Jules in the start.

Another one for the HEMA folks, or SCA or LARP or other collections of capital letters! It is available here if you are inclined to wear clothes or stick things on other things

If my clubmates would stop saying banger things like this I would be able to stop drawing piles of weapons and twisty banners. But for now it's a pretty fun challenge for my art so I'll allow it

Elon Musk challenged me to a fencing competition because I insulted him. We had to use Olympic rules, but he decided to use a sabre instead of a fencing sword. I beat him 10 - 0 and he threw a tantrum and then I woke up.

hello! I was wondering what you would think of this sword I designed for a character. I did some research (though admittedly not a lot) and it's based a bit on Russian and Mongolian styles, as well as just some fun design elements I included like the damascus and jade pommel.

That's very nice, and entirely functional.

While there were historical swords with a single back-guard, my own preference (so take or leave as you please) would be to have a full crossguard, making it look like an Afghani pulwar.

Here's a pulwar with a full crossguard and knucklebow,

Alternately, based on what I'm pretty sure was one of your inspirations, there's the Cossack shashka, which has no crossguard at all.

Side-note with a couple of extra details: the shashka was usually worn edge-up (as shown by the suspension loops) and some went into their scabbards right to the pommel.

Princess Mar'ya Morevna has one in this cover art.

Mick Posen is - IMO, anyway - a Seriously Good cover artist.
