It’s harder for me to find horns, so horned figures are incredibly restricted. I don’t pull game assets for clothes, hair, etc, so I can get close, but not exact. I have cat and bunny ears for miqo’te and viera (though I’m still working on my miqo’te when I have time. Nothing for AuRa yet /sob).

gentle psa to new comic artists about a problem i also suffered from: slow quiet pacing is totally fine BUT if that's not what you're deliberately going for, you CAN fit more Story Progression on the page. no, more than that. more than that even. i promise if you don't want it to a single action doesn't need to take a whole page to illustrate each of its steps, a lot of connecting magic happens in the gutters i /promise/ if you draw someone pulling up in a car then skip to them walking in the door with groceries we will Understand that they unloaded the car and unlocked the house you feel me

#I am not a comic artist#but I had a similar problem when I was in film school#I call it “the door problem”#in my thesis film I had written that two characters walk out the back of the club into the alley behind the club#and my club location did not have a back alley but did have a side room that we used as the door#but that door opened in#and the location I used for the alley had a back door but that door opened outwards#and I knew it looked weird#I struggled framing the shots#and blocking the actors#and I got really really caught in my own head about how to make this door work#because to me it was really important that you saw every step from club to outside#because even though we had learned in school that you could transition it didn't feel right because it didn't feel like a new scene to me#(this being one of the struggles with a short film. It can all feel like one scene if your script is short!)#AND THEN#when we got into the editing room we just...cut the door transition entirely#initially not on purpose#what happened was that we decided to tighten up the timing by cutting non-linearly to the custom music I had commissioned#which made it much more experimental especially in comparison to my fellow classmates#however it showed me that the story still absolutely worked without needing to show how they got into the alley#the audience can infer the door#so now anytime I can feel myself getting stuck on something when I'm filming I think#“Is this a Door Problem?”#as a storyteller it's always a question of what is the absolute bare minimum you need to convey what you're trying to say#and sometimes that means you just need to already be outside the club

(via @currentlycreating )

Exactly! Film and comics are VERY similar mediums in this way, I love this. We should always be considering Door Problems

#this is true in fiction as well #<-- previous #similar but it was travel time #was any action happening in the traveling?#no? cut it out

CRAFTS — 199/262 — Guilds and crafts

The society of the medieval town was primarily composed of craftsmen and merchants who ensured its economic growth. Based on municipal rights, they had the right to practice their trade and market rights. Apart from privileges such as the protection and support of the town in operation, healthcare, and sufficient food supply, it was their duty to pay taxes on every sale or export of goods outside the town’s borders. Essentially, the status of the community depended on them, so it was important that they did not relocate, did not practice their profession elsewhere, and passed on the craft to future generations. During one century, several craftsmen of the same profession worked in the town. These craftsmen gradually began to form groups with politico-economic rules, known as guilds. They had their own seals, stamps, and banners bearing the guild’s coat of arms designated by the ruler. Those who belonged to the guild had support from others, and they collectively agreed on prices, sales regulations, training rules, and obligations. Only guild members could sell goods.

TRIVIA

— Women were no rarity in medieval crafts, though they often slipped through the cracks. While some worked in businesses that did not receive much recognition (as domestic servants, retailers, midwives, prostitutes), many others contributed to a shared family business with their husbands or fathers. Their work was only seen as part of the household, a mere “support” that often exempted them from taxation, and thus also official documentation. But contemporary records show their presence well: illustration depict women as stone masons or carpenters, municipal records list them as tilers, plasterers, smiths and so forth. The 1405 manual “The Treasure of the City of Ladies” by Christine de Pisan even advises a craftswoman to be familiar with all aspects of her husband's trade, so that she could manage the entire workshop. As family members, women were even allowed into guilds, most often as apprentices, rarely as journeywomen or mistresses. In many cases, widows were allowed to inherit their late husband's business, taking in apprentices and journeymen and participating in social and religious celebrations. Women would make around 2 to 5 percent of the members of any medieval guild, but their position was fickle: Most were barred from electing guild officials or serving as officials themselves, and if a widow remarried a non-member, she would have to fear losing her guild membership.

The textile and luxury crafts of Cologne, Rouen and Paris (such as gold spinners, silk weavers or purse makers) even had female-dominated guilds, whose members were majorly or exclusively women. They would allow for women to become mistresses, running their own businesses, employing apprentices and regulating the technical aspects of their trade, but even those guilds were not fully independent from male influence. Most of the ware produced by the Cologne silk makers, for example, was sold by their silk merchant husbands, and while the gold spinners' guild mistresses examined the ware before bringing it to the markets, it were the male goldsmiths' masters who affixed the city seal to them. The work of the silk spinners and purse makers of Paris was even supervised by male jurés altogether, who were not elected by guild members, but by the provost of the city, and were thus often lacking the practical experience completely.

Some historical facts about the Dry Devil

Maybe someone will find this useful for their creative work.

Before we start, I want to apologize in advance for any mistakes — English is not my native language. I will also be using Czech names without English adaptation (except for the game ones), since I don’t feel confident enough to adapt them properly. So, let’s begin.

— The father of the Dry Devil was Sezema II of Kunštát and Jevišovice, and his mother’s name was Eliška. Her origin is still debated among historians, but it is certain that she came from a very wealthy family, as indicated by her dowry. It is quite possible that she belonged to the Lords of Lipá, which would make the Dry Devil and Hans Capon relatively close relatives.

— His father, Sezema, was the burgrave of the royal castle of Vranov, meaning he was a respected and high-ranking figure. He was probably about 30 years older than his wife (if we go with the version that Sezema was born in 1310).

— The Dry Devil had an older brother, Jindřich of Kunštát and Jevišovice (a namesake of our Henry). Like his brother, he had a rather grim nickname — Zajímač. This nickname suggests that during the Margrave Wars he made a living by capturing people for ransom. Jindřich was executed in Brno in 1409. According to another version, he died on the way to his execution, as the transport took place in winter.

— The Dry Devil was married to Anežka z Deblína. His sons are mentioned in the records of 1390, but after that they disappear from the sources. Anežka died in 1398, and the sons are absent from the documents related to her inheritance, which suggests they died sometime between 1390 and 1398.

— The lands Hynek was supposed to inherit from his late wife were taken by Jobst. So his rather aggressive reaction to Jobst in KCD 2 (if you ask around in Suchdol, you can hear that Hynek tried to punch him) is actually quite fitting. Especially considering that Hynek had also fought against Jobst during the Margrave Wars. In short — they were definitely not friends.

— After 1401, Hynek lived at Rabštejn Castle. This is not the Rabštejn we see in the game — his castle was located near the village of Dukovany. From there, he and his gang launched raids. Today, only a small fragment of Rabštejn's castle walls and foundations has survived. The place itself is very beautiful — Czech nature is amazing.

— Rabštejn was granted to Hynek by Margrave Prokop, most likely as a reward for the bold capture of Znojmo.

— By Prokop’s appointment, Hynek served as governor of Znojmo from 1401 to 1405. It’s a pity that at Semine’s wedding in the game you can’t ask Jurko (who is from Znojmo) what he thinks about the new governor.

— The close friendship with Jan Žižka shown in the game is not really accurate. In reality, Hynek’s closest ally was more likely Jan Sokol of Lamberk.

— The most important event in the Dry Devil’s life happened after the events of KCD 2. A combined Austro-Hungarian army of up to 20,000 men, led by Sigismund and Duke Albrecht IV, laid siege to Znojmo. Meanwhile, the garrison of the Dry Devil and the reinforcements led by Jan Sokol probably numbered only a few hundred. Despite the overwhelming numerical superiority, the besieging army was defeated — largely due to a devastating outbreak of dysentery and the aggressive sorties carried out by Hynek and Sokol, which destroyed much of the enemy’s siege equipment. Albrecht IV died of the disease. Ironically, many years later his son, Albrecht V, would take part in the campaign against Jevišovice in 1421, when the town was burned and the family castle destroyed.

— While the Dry Devil was away, Znojmo was taken by Jobst. The townspeople, exhausted by Hynek’s rule, opened the gates to him.

— The Dry Devil was deeply in debt — basically to all of Moravia. Seriously, he even owed money to King Wenceslas IV. Though not for long — Wenceslas had him imprisoned for it.

— After a prolonged illness, the Dry Devil died in 1408 at Rabštejn Castle.

— And if you were ever curious what his handwriting looked like — here it is. Big thanks to @emaralez for finding it. Найдено это было для её паблика «Индро вещает с кафедры»
