I teach honourable fencing and chivalrous combat.

Yet somehow, I raised a dagger fighting rogue, that can beat swordsmen with her dagger.

My Sword builder resource is up!

This is a mix-and-match longsword base with a lot of premade parts and combinations. Comes as a PSD file. You can play around and create very fancy sword graphics in minutes with it!

Up on my Ko-fi shop for $5!

Today I learned that my roommate's cat loves swords!! Observe

(note: this is a practice sword, it's completely blunt. the cat is perfectly safe)

A couple weeks ago my HEMA instructor referred to inviting someone to attack you as a "pickup line" and the first thing that came to my mind was

"Hey baby," *performs a mediaeval longsword technique, killing you instantly*

How did you get into fencing? It seems so cool

Awesome question! I was at the Welcome Lecture for my university and a girl was there who I began speaking to, and she was like “Hey, at the other university I used to go to of this city there’s an introductory fencing session today at 6PM”. I was very hesitant cause I am not a sporty person, but I went and the people there and their vibes more than convinced me to join. They’re some of my closest friends now, and HEMA fencing is the most fun sport for me. Now, I can’t watch a movie or see sword drawings without seeing what’s wrong with it! 🤣

My favourite weapons are Longsword (what I’m holding, but these should be held with two hands during a fight) Dussack and Sabre. (I also like messers but they’re just sword-sized knives, technically!) I don’t like thrusting weapons like Sidesword and Rapier (these look like twins).

So if anyone ever has any more HEMA questions.. well, I’ve only been doing it for a year but I’m happy to answer!

First cursed relics from albabbgg prompt ! Time to make a new inky Blade ✨ When I started to hear about him I though he was not a person but a sword, and that his sword somehow controlled his body ? so here's a version of this mind controlling blade! èvé

Historical fencing is great cuz you can literally go "this blows, I would rather be getting hit with a 3 lb steel bar rn" in basically every situation and mean it with your whole heart

[mockingnerd]

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

I have promised God I will claim a thousand Rompopolo souls come February, and I will not be stopped.

HEMA is just a book club where you get bruises.
