A Sapper (Engineer) working near a Trebuchet Crank.

I love transitional Armors - The 1300s are abound with unique kits.

Particularly Sapper kits are always unique, as they're specialized for the task at hand - which is often hard manual labor under threat of stones and arrows.

The Long Hammer would work fine in a pinch, if the besieged force were to sally out.

Looking around Manuscripts and saw this guy with some other sketches in the back of the book (Christ Church MS 92).

I couldn't quite tell why the Crossbow was stylized with bumps. I thought it may be horn, but some forum members pointed out it's likely Yew, as it's known to be a strong, knotty wood; and colored depictions gave them "Belly & Back" coloring as is typical of medieval bows.

Clone Troopers Rule - always ten toes down for whatever. Late May 4th Post for Star Wars Day

Recent Commission I did for a Scottish Man-at-Arms from 1490-1520

Ode to "Paladin in Hell" by David Sutherland - first D&D handbook (1978). Time-lapse process vid coming soon :^)

If anyone is curious about anything shown here I'd be happy to relate their history

Been absent working on super secret projects and developing new skills - I'll be able to reveal those soon. Exciting stuff on the way :^)

Quick Ipad sketch for the prompt "bones" from @horridrealm October prompt list #horridtober

Got @peachplossum (on insta) an IPad Pro and had a chance to mess with it while babysitting our cats in the backyard. #procreate is really nice to use, and the IPad is super responsive and smooth, very cool.

She's is already making a lot of cool stuff with it and hopefully you'll see that eventually as well.
