I was fortunate enough to be invited to do a sword demonstration at a Beltane festival this Saturday, and while we did a good bunch of weapons (longsword, sabre, rapier, rapier & cloak, sword and buckler), my favourite part, potentially on part of being a bit of an attention whore, was demonstrating greatsword!

Look at me go!

Also like, not to brag, and it's a double edged sword (no pub intended) with dysphoria, but look at my arm and shoulder muscles >:3

Unfortunately wasted on me other than for reasons of swinging a sword about the place 😭

Skulduggery went low and China went high

Ignore the fact that Skulduggery is fighting left handed and Burgundy isn't supposed to have switched yet- I spent bloody forever on these hilts and couldn't be bothered to fix entire poses lol

Look how cool they look >:D

I couldn't remember if he was wearing his hat or not for this fight so I opted to go without.

Boots!!

dude is all leg lol
