Maidens with Swords - Regency Era

Saint George and the Rescued Maiden by Henry Charles Fehr

That magical moment when you bring your sword and shield to the party and encounter a like-minded soul with their own sword.

One of my many highlights from Kindle this year was clashing steel with Sterling Bishop on the beach. I really couldn't have asked for more for my birthday weekend.

A huge thank you to Jason Surh and to all the other photographers out at Kindle for capturing the moments so we can hold and share them for years to come. 💛

Redraw of a very old piece I’ve always loved! Original is under the cut:

From a drawpile a while ago, some silly Rishas.

random math moment but two-handing a weapon will multiply STR stat by 1.5, Marika hammer requires 20 STR, 12 DEX and 19 FTH.

Marika has to hold it in two hands in order to wield it which means girlie’s base stat is probably just 14 STR, 12 DEX and 70 FTH (Minor Erdtree incantation) 💀

like… im wheezing cuz yeah i still draw her with muscles and all, but all that is just for show. This woman puts all her points into faith !!! [Faith build is viable joke here]

Also if it’s Radagon he can hold the hammer with one hand. (“Here i abandon my STR and DEX build”)

And the thing is, faith build is actually viable in Elden Ring! when it’s her kids! (Miquella, Malenia, Messmer, Godwyn’s faith-scaling spells are all offensive spells), and Radagon who is INT-FTH hybrid (i have a lore rant about how one of the reasons he married into Carian line is to integrate offensive spells into power of Gold)

I tell you how you kill me in my dreams.

Dima was visited by the local vampire. She will bite him back, next time. Alt version under the cut.

Happy Faire Friday, my friends!

Wishing all my sword sisters and battle brothers a fantastic weekend filled with friends, laughter, and shenanigans.

Take care of yourselves and those around you.

Best!

With Rae, Liv F.H, & Alexis. :)
