Thror’s Map.
I’m working on inking a 9”x12” version on Bristol using steel-nibbed pens. Penciled everything in first, then went over it in black ink.

Since people often ask “Alright, well this is fantasy! Why can’t we have boob shapes in plate armor?!” I decided to make a post about it. My frustration has nothing to do with historical inaccuracy and I’m all for imagination and freedom— but I’d like to (very quickly) illustrate this for you:
Important stuff to note about boobs and armor.

Fat friar. I need to draw hands and feet until my fingers are raw. Or until I can draw them decently, whichever comes first.

Guardsmouse Mikel, performing a Zornhau. I have a huge interest in German medieval swordsmanship. Johannes Liechtenauer was a swordmaster in the 1500′s who pretty much started the tradition, or at least wrote most of it down in code. The Zornhau is the “strike of wrath”. If you are holding your sword in the “Vom Tag” position, basically at your shoulder, the Zornhau is performed by taking a step forward with your leading foot as you swing the sword in a downward arc at your opponent. You’d block this blow with the “Ochs” position, and bind your opponent’s blade. …I also learned that mice are hard to draw like this, because their knees are ambiguously placed somewhere in fur. No worries. David Petersen’s Mouse Guard is still awesome. This is illustration 4 of 365 in my 365 Drawing Project. Thanks for reading.

Mouse Guard illustration. Day 2 of 365. December 31st, 2011. This is Guardmouse Olaf. My obsession continues. Done on the inside cover of my new Moleskines, which arrived yesterday thanks to a wonderful Christmas gift of an Amazon gift card.
The paper on the new Moleskine sketchbooks is thinner than the one I purchased about two years ago, which makes me sad. I’m hoping it will still hold up to what I have planned. I want to try some urban sketching with light ink washes. I was counting on the thicker paper to hold up better to the watercolors/inks.
