The artist Paweł Ponichtera seems to have inexplicably dedicated a massive amount of time and effort to hyper-detailed and hyper-accurate illustrations of chinchillas engaged in historical fencing, many with clear and specific reference to particular historical treatises. So, I give you:

Hans Talhoffer Chinchillas

Harnisfechten Chinchillas

Joachim Meyer Longsword Chinchillas

Fantastical Snail Marginalia Chinchillas

Olympic Epee Chinchillas

Salvator Fabris Rapier-in-the-Nude Chinchillas

Napoleonic Saber Chinchillas

Arabic Shamshir Chinchillas

18th Century Smallsword Chinchillas

I.33 Sword and Buckler Chinchillas

These are great, and many thanks to @slightlydisoriented, @vr-trakowski​ and @ainawgsd​ for bringing them to my attention! (My rep for appreciating swordy stuff and cute stuff in equal measure has evidently spread…) :-D

They’re not just impressive drawings because Paweł Ponichtera is an enviably good artist…

…they’re accurate drawings because - as mentioned on his Facebook page - Paweł Ponichtera is a HEMA practitioner and contestant as well.

Look at the Halbschwert (blade-gripping) and Mordschlag (reversed sword) in the Talhoffer pic, the supinated (knuckles-down) hand position in the I.33 pic, and similar details in all the others.

Here’s the finished version of that WIP sketch: Hans Lecküchner Messer Chinchillas.

At first I thought, “Why chinchillas?”

Then I thought, “Why NOT chinchillas?”

They’re cute, they’re fluffy, and despite (or maybe because of) their Postures of Period Pugnacity, the picture series works really well… :->

Can’t for get to include the Fiore chinchillas that started it all.

Quick head sketches I try to do everyday, from observation then from memory to see what I retain.
