#DrawingPride every day in June! Day 18: #Daddy BROADSWORD! Another character from the @geeksout #pridesquad His awesome sword transforms him from a regular every-day muscle-daddy to a muscle daddy who wears ancient purple armor and carries as sword! . . #pride2018 #pride #gaypride #queerart #queercharacters #gaydaddy #gaycharacter #gaypoc #poccharacters #characterdesign #superhero #broadsword #magicsword #gaysword #gaymuscle #gaybald #gaybeard #purple #pinksword #gayartist #leatherstraps #artistsoninstagram #knight #merkin (at Los Angeles, California)
The blade dated 1849, with bright tapering blade etched over half its length on each side with thistles, [Scots Guards] regimental badge and motto, and ‘VR’ crowned, the forte stamped in 17th century style 'ANDREA’ and 'FARARA’, the letters between profile king’s head marks, the ricasso on one side etched with donor’s and recipient’s initials above the date, regulation basket-guard, and wire-bound fishskin-covered grip, in its brown leather field service scabbard with plated throat mount and chape. 83 cm blade.
I really am struggling to process Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose because it’s just so dichotomic, it’s essentially non-erotic porn, just pages of constant sex and nudity and yet through an absolute lack of talent and ability it’s rendered entirely asexual, it’s like a medical textbook but it’s women being fucked by like bats who for some reason also have giant tits
totally fascinating, and like with everything Jim Balent, deeply deeply embarrassing
so I actually got all the Tarot comics and was like ok great I’m gonna find a ton of content it’ll be really fun but it’s actually incredibly hard because literally 90% of pages are just this, it’s total sensory overload and it’s hard pick a part of it and be like “this is bad” when it’s all so very bad
Basket-Hilted Broadsword from Scotland dated to 1759 on display at the National War Museum in Edinburgh Castle
This sword is said to have been carried by a Highland officer at the storming of Quebec in 1759. Before 1798, when a regulated design was introduced, officers of Highland regiment carried broadswords of their own choosing. Many had elaborate swords made for them or even used treasured family weapons.

Stunning basket-hilt with a serious broadsword blade!
Since people seemed to enjoy my Tam Lin drawing, here is another ballad character. I guess she isn’t named in the narrative. But here is Geordie’s wife challenging the judge for her husbands life.
“But six pretty babes I had by him The seventh one lies in my body And I would bear them all over again If you give me the life of my Geordie” “Your Geordie will hang in a silver chain Such as we don’t hang many And he’ll be laid in a coffin brave For your six fine sons to carry” “I wish I had you in a public square The whole town gathered around me With my broad sword and a pistol too I’d fight you for the life of my Geordie”
Have a few other folk songs I want to illustrate so stay tuned!
