I know it won't happen because it's taken almost six months just to get to where I am now but I'm gonna be Westley (as the Dread Pirate Roberts) from The Princess Bride for Halloween this year and if I could get my gay lil mustache to grow in more in the next two weeks it'd be soooooooo perfect

Time for a SWORDFIGHT!

This is the first fight that I've ever drawn in comic format. I've done illustrations and animation, but never a comic.

Here are some Fight Facts: My wife and our kiddo are both fencers, and their height difference tracks to DJ and the Headmaster perfectly! My wife (who also has stage combat and choreography experience) did the choreography back in December, and I filmed them going through it for the comic. 

The Headmaster is using a fencing style called Destreza, which is a Spanish style known for being practically mathematical in its execution. It typically uses two weapons, a rapier and something else. Normally, the second weapon is a main gauche (short parrying sword), like you see here. If you've ever seen a Renaissance-era illustration of people fencing with a bunch of circular diagrams drawn around them, that's Destreza. There's a bit of a stereotype in rapier fencing that snobby types prefer (or outright dismiss anything but) this style, and yes, I'm playing into that. I even had another fencer who reads the comic look at this page's WIP and say, "Of course that guy uses Destreza."

On the other hand, DJ is using an Italian style that's particularily effective against Destreza! ^_^ My wife knows her fencing styles.

anyhow if any of you wanted to know how my ER went/is going....trust me I tried to just do something simple for the start but quickly found Dragon Powers and burnt and rotted everything between me and more stuff I can use to make things dead faster

bonus sketch i did when i still only used the basic twinblade to twirl shit to death(+basic rot breath only BUT post Radahn so...mid game i guess)
