Part 12 of the Illustrated Guide. Today we will be looking at the second of the two major cavalry types: the cataphract, a hammer meant to smash aside all opposition with enough armour to be extremely difficult to bring down. These guys are probably as close to traditional knights as basitins come a...

That's pretty nice work there, you emulate Tom's style well. I think the blurring works quite well as a "faking" tool if you say you can't do backgrounds well, not that Tom's backgrounds were particularly outstanding at the beginning either. Although you do realise this now means you have ...

Rose is a graduate from the Maddie school of stealth it seems, or maybe its the other way around. Come to think of it, have those two ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

Part 11 of the Illustrated Guide. This time we will be looking at the apothecary, a battlefield healer who hopes to keep the soldiers under his care on this side of the afterlife. Those of you who have browsed Tom's older Deviantart pages may recognise this image, I decided I liked his design for th...

I hadn't thought to give him a name, although now you've mentioned it, I think I know just what it should be. Jason Wight As far as the practicalities of wearing the armour, curiasses typically stop approximately at the coccyx anyway so I don't think much adjustment would be needed for a tail. As f...

Part 10 of the Illustrated Guide. A slightly early submission this week as I will be away over the weekend. Today we will have a look at the musician, specifically a drummer in the great marching band that plays at public ceremonies, occasions of celebration and on the march to battle. It was intere...

I hereby shatter the champagne bottle on the prow and launch the latest ship in the TwoKinds fleet: the SS Kardelyn! Long may she sail!

I imagined you would be either have a biology or chemistry background but i read a tint of physicists too. In any case i never managed to take a real college level optics course, thought i wanted to, and chemistry really is not my thing. But its still sound mighty interesting, I don't quite remembe...

Part 9 of the Illustrated Guide. Today we will be looking at someone a little higher up the ranks then we have looked at before: a lieutenant commander. These officers have vastly different equipment compared to that worn by the common soldiery we have seen before and so it was a nice break to draw ...

On the other hand if you do not mind me asking: what is you area of research? I am a protein mass spectrometrist. TL;DR: I weigh proteins. It was actually trying to find a way to create higher quality figures that I stumbled upon 3D in the first place. "¡Santa madre del purgatorio un Nahual!&q...

And here it is, a taster of the kind of step up in quality you can expect after the series goes 3D. The change will happen when the current run of images ends. I don't know how many I'll be able to finish by the time I start uploading them but hopefully the quality will more then make up for lesser ...

USCS? Come on metric system is all the rage these days! Not even Britons use that anymore. I know it is customary to use lbf in bow related stuff, but bow are now made from composite modern materials, it really is time for the field to move on. Of course we, modern, educated and scientific people u...

Part 8 of the Illustrated Guide. Today is the turn of the longbowman, a master of ranged combat who's primary attribute is strength, not dexterity as video games would have you believe. After this, the half way point, I think there is a decent step up in quality as most the images you've seen thus f...

Beat me by 10 seconds NuclearBird! Good to see the erogenous zone ears are still a thing and that Maddie is still a ninja as ever (even if she is apparently reading the paper upside down). This might be the first time we've seen Maddie flustered since her initial appearances when she was infatuated ...

Maybe I should write a little stint on a bunch of Kerbal explorers finding this little planet full of weird energy and stuff, then it gets a bit nasty after they settle the place and mine the resources. The Kerbin's allies start putting sanctions on the self-sufficient fellows. Well the story board...
