So we decided to test my old hema mask from 10+ years ago.
We hit it with
3 arrows from a 40 pound hunting bow,
And 10 times with a sledgehammer
Results were this:
Three holes in the mesh and pummeled flat.
Lots of fun for not much info gained.
Overall I do trust my masks more because it the dents were exponential. As shown in the video, it took a blow with no dents when able to move, but only dented when it could not.
So yeah, overall a good success.

I own a sword and no, it didn't make any of my problems go away.

Et voici un fanart, cette fois de la série de romans de Pierre Pevel Les Lames du Cardinal (aux éditions Bragelonne ou SF Folio). Je viens de terminer le tome 1. J’ai mis un peu de temps à rentrer dans l’histoire, car il y a beaucoup de personnages à introduire, mais une fois qu’on plonge dans l’intrigue, impossible de le lâcher ! J’ai hâte de lire la suite ! Alors de quoi ça parle ?! Eh bien, les lames du cardinal sont un groupe d’espions du cardinal de Richelieu qui vont reprendre du service. Au premier abord, on se dit que c’est un roman de capes et d’épées mais pas que !! Car Pierre Pevel mêle aussi à ces intrigues une dimension fantastique, car les humains vivent étroitement avec des dragons !! J’ai beaucoup aimé ce mélange de capes et d’épées et de fantasy (un peu comme dans la Rose écarlate, quelque part…). Pour ce fanart, j’ai décidé de dessiner un des personnages qui m’intrigue beaucoup : Saint Lucq ! Je suis dans ma période “beau ténébreux mystérieux,”, haha !! Avec un petit dragon noir ! Voilà, je lirai la suite des aventures des lames avec beaucoup d’impatience en tout cas !!
What is a Rapier?
A Rapier is a one-handed, thrust-centric sword common to the Renaissance. The word first begins to be used in France in the late 15th century, referring to swords as an “Epée Rapiere,” and it continues to see common use into the mid 17th century, and even into the 18th century in countries such as Spain.
Common sub-types of Rapier include the swept hilt,
cup hilt,
pappenheimer,
and ring hilt (also called a seven ring, or some variation thereupon,)
and the rapier is likely the weapon which has the most manuals written on its use. Contrary to popular belief, Rapiers are not particularly light swords, sometimes weighing as much as longswords, up to 5 lbs/2.25 kg.

what the fuck ethan
It’s not as perfect as it could be but I wanted this done already, and the lighting was annoying me. The first is a see-through one just for the fun of it, the second is the finished art.
Let me just- *casually flexes 150+ year old sword*

I so badly wanna do sword fighting lessons or smthn like that’s so badass.
In the last chapter of Lil'Bit I felt really sorry for our Aj... everyone tries to help her without really understand how. It was a fantastic chapter, however. Great job as always, @thesarcasticknightblr!
Soooo... yes. Once again. I love drawing and with this story I always find the inspiration to do it. So here an Aj with her super-cool suit! (I may take some ideas from Kai'sa by LOL, but shh, don't tell to Riot...)
Have a nice day and stay safe!
Baci e abbracci!

Congratulations! You have formed what is known in linguistics as a
blend.
This is when you take two words and smash em together, nice and squishy-like!
In your case, you have created a word that means:
glamorous garb.
We forecast this word will be especially popular in LARP and boffer combat areas!
GLARB.
as long as the DM is "hey can we be friends" and not "hey 😏 wanna be friends 😏😘"
Reblog if
It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.
Had a friend show up to swordfighting last week and when I went up to face her and some of her allies she pointed her spear at me. I had never seen this spear and it had a pink end with... Kirby's face on it? So I double blink and go "Kirby?" and then she stabs me
