Thanks so much!
Sweet - what sort of bushcraft do you enjoy? We mostly do a lot of camping with some other stuff like backpacking thrown in, but the whole bushcraft "aesthetic" I just love!
Hahah, I'm not sure! I could see a bard being offended at being mistaken for another famous bard as it were lol.

*curtsies, tips her feathered hat, and says, "Gladly."
My specialty is learning knots and lashings. I assume that I know it well enough to get by. Put an axe in my hand, and I'll spend a half hour splitting a single log or two, for firewood. I don't have enough opportunities to gain the eye-hand coordination. I also got a lesson in chopping through a fallen birch tree. I completed the job after taking a long break and trying it a second time! Yay me!
Not unless the bard had a chip on their shoulder for the more famous bard.

Aww, that's cool! Learning knots is one of those "I should learn that!"-but-then-never-do things for me so far >_> I actually don't chop much firewood - my husband tends to like doing that. We also only currently have a hand hatchet, so we're mostly restricted to chopping smaller pieces anyway. I feel like most of the people I know who've chopped wood find it kind of fun :)
Truth be told, I just have a couple of $15 hatches. I decided on getting a hatchet because I was worried that an axe wouldn't fit inside my through hiking backpack. I think that was a mistake, and I'll probably get something two-handed down the road.
The one time that I got any real practice splitting was with wood that had already been spilt. In other words: making even smaller pieces out of already small pieces.

Oh! Good catch, and nice pun!
And I thought it was called Florentine too, since that's what I heard the technique for using two whips is called. According to BelgrathWiki, we're both close: "utilizing a long sword as the primary weapon while wielding a dagger or short sword in the off-hand." It seems to be a technique for using two different-sized blades at the same time.

Simply superb. The character design, her pose, the folds and textures of her clothing... even the way she holds the fiddle and bow are perfect. (I live with a fiddle player, so yeah, I do appreciate it when an artist goes to the trouble of getting these things right.)
So many intriguing details! The hurricane lamp, the rapiers, and she even has a guitar as a backup instrument, back there in the tent. A wonderful image all round.

I'm so grateful, thank you XD I'm a musician, but not a violinist, so I know enough that improper posture/grip can be SUPER glaring to anyone in the know. Looked up so many YouTube videos of actual performances to make sure they weren't just stock photos by non-musicians.
I also made sure to keep the guitar and unstrung bow she has back there away from the campfire and under cover ... although I imagine the damp could easily get into that guitar/bow if it weren't for that fire!

Very interesting. Yeah, I figured you either played violin yourself, or else referenced some recently decent videos of how to hold the thing correctly.
Aah, you are multitalented indeed! I wonder what instrument you play. I teach flute, which makes me super-sensitive to issues of posture and hand position.
Stringed instruments are indeed horribly vulnerable to changing temperature and humidity, and new strings don't come cheap :( My flute, on the other hand, still uses its original pads from 1982!

Yeah. People painting mouths OVER the horn, or while some flutes are played by putting a mouthpiece in the mouth directly, painting musicians lip-locked with side-blown standard flutes is also a common mistake XD
Heh, semi-related, I once commented on an artist whose realism work I admired that it was impeccably done, but it was a shame the real life model clearly had no idea how to hold a katana. She clearly was holding it more like you'd hold a kayak paddle (but with hands close together), like https://www.wikihow.com/images/thum.....-Version-2.jpg . I pointed out that it should be more like you'd hold a baseball bat.
Guy called me a virgin nerd sperg and immediately blocked me lol. I lost a lot of respect for him after that :b
