A quick thank-you...

...to all the folks who passed on information for my enquiry about how that horse-archer here...

tumblr

...was pulling off such an extraordinary stance.

It seems he's got his stirrups, and maybe an extra strap, arranged especially for this trick shot, so it's not an actual military technique at all.

I was thinking, too, that being on the other side of the horse and shooting under its neck or over its back would be more tactically sound - based probably off seeing it done in Western movies - but (a) that's almost certainly a movie-only trick and (b) it doesn't matter what side you're hanging off if your mount gets hit.

To use the modern term that's a "mobility kill", and You Are Screwed.

Thanks again!

*****

BTW: several people also pointed out that the horse isn't a wee pony being put-upon for the trick, but a Mongolian horse plenty tough enough for it.

Makes sense; that horse's ancestors carried warriors wearing this stuff...

...from the high steppes to Hungary, winning battles all the way.

nothing can excite me unless it's you!

#yugioh #ygo #yu gi oh #seto kaiba #yami yugi #pharaoh atem #prideshipping #toni told me to watch yugioh so this one's for her #if i had more time i would have found some actual hieroglyphics but i couldn't. so back of the card sleeves we get. sorry #kaiba's armor is mostly based off bewd but the boots + shapes are mostly accurate except for his stupid ps4 coat spike #yami's stuff is primarily based on hunting paintings and archery armor... his horse is the red eyes black dragon #“the way they are holding these weapons is crazy” just wait until you see the paintings the poses are based on

Finally happy to talk about this and start getting excited!

Next weekend @blumineck and I will be meeting up for stock shooting!. (Puns).

The plan is to shoot stuff of him Solo and some together as well.!! (he might get me on the pole.. but I would not hold much hope for me XD).

Damned excited but now the real question/request is...

GIVE US POSE SUGGESTONS AND IDEAS!!

This was hilarious.

Also my baby sibling is a horse archer, and they know a lot about their sport, and I have been subjected to the same lecture about the Mongolian army and horse archery three times this week (it’s still fascinating), and uh …

You’re using your horse archers wrong.

I mean, it clearly all worked out, and that’s brilliant. I just…

I’ve heard the lecture three times now, and that’s … that’s all I could think about.

first day as a second century warlord i have my men tie branches to their horses’ tails to stir up dust and make it look like there’s a lot of us but i forget it just rained so there isn’t any dust and the enemy can clearly see there’s like twenty of us all spread out in a line

#horse archery #Ridgeline mounted archers #no seriously I’ve heard it three times #maybe more #but They’re very entertaining #and I love a good infodump #also I am the reason they are this way so like #i enjoy it tbh #but yeah #horse archery is for zippidy fast flying stabby intimidation death #there’s a bunch of different moves and formations #and like horse archery is a big reason the Mongolian army was so heckin effective #you might use regular archers for a ravine ambush I guess #but the horse archers would be either charging up the ravine in a group #or fake fleeing #or doing some other terribly strategic move that would make you regret everything #at least as far as I understand from the lecture

modern au and esen’s honkers are haunting the instagram feed

#id in alt text #yea this was inspired by That watermelon smashing vid #if u don’t know what i’m talking about you’re living a more peaceful life than i am #at first I was like hm maybe this is a bit too ooc for ouyang #then I remembered the 'doEs GeNerAL Xu pLAY thE FLuTE???' and I was like nah ok it checks out #no filter & accidentally revealing how much of a gayass he is is how he rolls #also rip Ma she's just trying to hang out with her boygf and that hideous Pest that Wretched Thang that useless twink #just manifests wherever zhu is and ruins the mood #she deserves to hatecrime him as much as possible #also I don't think esen is 100% aware he's posting blatant thirst traps. his insta is mostly pics of his horses and his beautiful eagle #then one vid of him doing mounted archery that breaks the internet for 3 weeks #rinse and repeat #also yeah wang's special skill is starting shit in the comments section #he would absolutely thrive in the toxic waste that is social media fights #ty for reading this far. more unhinged takes at 5 #esen-temur #zhu yuanzhang #ma xiuying #general ouyang #the radiant emperor #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #my art

I really hate to be a bother, but the way you draw violins being played is a bit irksome. Just wanted to point out that in the latest comic, Holmes was playing with the wood on the neck of the instrument, instead of with the hairs between the bridge and neck. Again, sorry

sobs I quite literally traced reference for that panel because people always tell me I draw the violin playing wrong...devil's instrument that refuses to be captured in a drawing

#it's always funny what people pick at #with some crowds it's guns or cars or horses being drawn wrong (things i avoid partly for this reason lol)#did an archery comic once that got a lot of comments about incorrect form

I finished the Fengxin yesterday night! Riding on a black steed, he's practising his arrow-and-bow-skills and I'm pretty sure that not only Xie Lian is watching him :D

I'm aware that...this drawing is pretty flawful, yet it is always a good idea to just try and try more to improve later :3 So I guess I'll draw more animals soon? Maybe something for Yuwu? 2ha? We will see ;D I hope you like this young man!
