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.

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

There's nothing surprising about this if you know anything about horse archery:
But it's always fucking badass and wonderful to see.
Despite knowing the mechanics and the necessary strength it still gets me in my gender neutral horse girl heart
卓越したボディコントロール Σ(゚Д゚) スッゲ! Body control of a horse archer

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!

i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. it’s such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.
#with their dads permission he’ll take Cottla and Koko on horse rides and they always have food ready for his horses when he comes into town#cottla wants to learn archery to be like him and he melts when he finds that out#all the kids in Hateno have been caught giving treats to his horses#this is a popular headcanon i think but him teaching the local kiddos how to sword fight so often times he’ll be found directing a horde of#children who’re all swinging treebaches around. he couldn’t look prouder of them.#imagine when he gets older and all the village kids r teens/young adults and all of a sudden the village has skilled hunters and foragers#and everyone’s like ‘wow what’s hateno doing’ and the answer is they all had a great big brother#by older i mean he’d be like. early thirties. but y’know ahsnfjks#wild’s impact should rest in the ppl i think. botw is all abt humanity’s strive to overcome hardship and find beauty in the misery#(well. it is to me anyhow lmao)#so i love the idea of his influence not resting in politics or myths or whatever#but within the culture and spirit of those he fought for#in my brain he definitely wanted to rescue Zelda at first and that’s the only reason he was going to fight ganon#but as his journey progressed he wanted to protect and cultivate the future more than rescue the past#i like this idea w zelda too. like not only will the future generation have great fighters but excellent scholars and leaders.#wow i am RAMBLING#anyhow. i like big bro wild.#linked universe#lu#jojo’s linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu wild#wild lu#wild linked universe#linked universe wild
