I don't know what it is about fencing sword and buckler but I feel so AMPED when I'm holding them. Longsword gives hero vibes and rapier makes me feel like a dastardly noble but with an arming sword I got that shit ON ME let's FUCKIN GO I'm just a man at arms or a guard but I AM READY FOR YOU

Original post body under the cut:

"Finished" this a while ago, but never posted it because I subsequently made a design change to sorXa's sword that will require me to go back and redo all the digital parts of this. Oops

Edit: Turns out I didn't have to redo anything, because the chalk 01 brush in GNU IMP is actually pretty decent at imitating pencil! I wouldn't use it for anything complex, but for adding a few straight lines it's good enough.

#(The arming sword is sorXa's and the saber is Alex's for the record)
