Swordspoint bookmark I made for @ellenkushner<3 Pencil on tinted paper, color is CG.
It was so great meeting @cinabre at last, this fall in France, in connection with the fantastic new French edition (now with extra material not in the U.S. one!) of *Swordspoint* (aka *A la Pointe de l’Epee*, published by Editions ActuSF).
I love her depiction of these characters, and I will treasure this bookmark forever.
Illuminated illustration of sword and buckler combat, with padded jerkins: Colored plate from the manuscript Tacuinum Sanitatis, illustrated in Lombardy, ca. 1390
