Venice, Italy, ca. 1550, housed at the Metropolitan Musuem of Art.

A step by step process of this will be available at my Patreon on june 1st!

This polearm is similar to the partizan, though it has a narrower main blade and larger side blades. Its name is a possible reference to its place of origin, the island of Corsica. In combat, it would have been used mainly for its thrusting capabilities, with the side blades used for parrying and pushing opponents. One last notable thing is an alternate name for this weapon: variants like the one shown here are sometimes referred to as a “chauve-souris,” the French word for “bat.”

Because I can’t forget about them, let me drop this drawing of @corseque‘s OCs Wizard and Enchanter on here as well - both are featured in a choose-your-own-adventure type second-chance fantasy romance currently being written (yes, I know, it’s all you ever wanted), which you can find and participate in on twitter!

”Then the High King looks down at you. Meeting his eyes is like being struck by a sharp spark. He blinks once, slowly, and from the way the elves stand with their eyes ceremonially covered or lowered, you wonder if he is almost completely unused to anyone else meeting his eyes.” Do yourself a favor and read @corseque wizard story on twitter. It’s so good.

My corseque finally snapped after multiple years of faithful service, but not to worry! I'll be repurposing both pieces into more weaponry soon. :)
