Those planters are adorable! Where did you get them?

hlahlahlahlahly replied to your photo “My wife and I are moving to a new apartment at the end of the month...”

They're so cute! Are they big?

They’re from Target! (link) They’re relatively small. According to the product details “The Brachiosaurus planter measures 8’’x2.5’’x7’’ and the T-Rex planter measures 7.5’’x2.5’’x5’’ “

Corsa looks like she absolutely Would bite somebody if she wanted to. (And that it would take very little for her to want to :)

Planning my new D&D character for the campaign that starts Sunday. My group is full of wonderful people. Being deliberate about setting time to see friends (skype or half an hour chat after class) and to keep in touch with my parents.

This is 100% fan!Kate talking, I cannot stress that enough, but:

I have always believed that baby!Leia, daughter of a genius and space wizard, looked into her mother’s face as a newborn, and remembered.

That’s so cool! I’m glad you’re enjoying my work! I endeavour to only break history in the “that’s cool!” way not the “that’s moronic they’d totally just get themselves killed” way! (Except Nobility I have this fun idea they strap weird bits of armour on themselves, like a single pauldron, to look tough and cool and the real fighters are sniggering. Same way high end fashion works now only a bit more metal bits…)

I’m a bit of a history nut myself (as if you couldn’t tell) but I’ve always been more focussed on the clothing aspect, starting with what women wore, and more lately men’s clothing and armours. 

I like to know what I can break I guess.

I’ve never actually looked into the fighting style or the weaponry (beyond like… this is a sword, this is an axe etc) and it wasn’t until I started drawing a scene in which Serafina has a sword fighting bout that I went “huh.. I know jack all about how actual sword fights work outside a context of TV. Film and Video Games”

Since I’ve started with history with the armours and costumes why screw it up with the fight styles? I mean I can’t be 100% accurate, it’s not my life’s study, and this world is a psuedo historical one where I have plans to mess about with the reality of history, but better to start with a solid base of knowledge as opposed to my previous knowledge base. which was “A sword is a cross shape and you swing it about a bit!”

The whole project isn’t meant to be all about complete polished comics (though hopefully there will be some) but also a place for me to explore this kind of research and share the work I make.

But certainly it’ll be about the Lady Knights! Swinging their hopefully more accurate swords!
