Anybody authors looking for an illustrator out there?
Just painted these, as an experiment, inspired by Wagners "Cout and thrust Weapons" I think they work quiet well but dont know if I can be inspired enough to paint my entire collection. Cheers Andy |

Very, very nice!
I think drawings are much better for a general definition of various types of swords than actual pictures: drawings ignore the particulars and concentrate on the general characteristics. This is why I love old books, with no photography but with great drawings (Egerton, for example). |

Andy,
MAGNIFICENT WORK!!!!!!! Those are beautiful paintings, and I had always thought Wagners were good...I actually think yours are right on par, actually better . As a fellow 'artistic' (I really dont consider myself a true artist) I just sense a little more 'feeling' in yours, while Wagners remain rather two dimensional. Your work would definitely honor the text of any published work on these weapons!!! Bravo ![]() Jim |

Andy,
Even better than pictures. If I could paint like you, i certainly would paint my collection. Combining two hobby's with each other. What do you want more??? OK, I can mention some other things either ![]() |

High praise from all, I’m a little overcome
![]() Well not sure exactly were I will go with this but I’ll continue to illustrate my own items and see how that turns out. I must also remember to put some sort of scale on the final versions. Cheers all for the vote of confidence. Andy |
