Description
A commission work for [link]I quite enjoyed working on it. Here a little description of the character, Estevao:
Estevão is a Knight of the Order of Santiago, and one of the favorite of the Master of the Order, Dom Paio Peres Correia.
After two failed attempts in the Conquest of the Paderne Castle, Estevão crosses with Princess Rasha, daughter of Rashid, the Mayor of the Paderne Castle, and the two fall in love and plan to escape together.
But Dom Paio Peres Correia won't give up, and the final conquest of the Paderne Castle, in 1249, will change their fate forever...

Astonishing work ! Both historically and technically ! But if the forearm lamellar protection is good-looking, this kind of piece of armor is more byzantine, I think... a full chainmail armor (lorica integra) may be more accurate, no ?
Well, I may be totally wrong, of course ! If so, I would be really grateful if you had some historical sources showing or talking about this piece of equipment ! It's not a challenge : as I practice XIII century medieval combat, fighting with a hauberk including full chainmail arms and gloves is really exhausting, and this "setup" appears to be more convenient ^^
This job is more than great ! Congratulations again

Actually quite a few of the Iberian nobility had red or blond hair, a result of the visigoth heritage.

My fault and I apologize. Just like blond hair and blue eyes in southern Italy

the typical Spaniard/Portuguese (black hair, olive skin, etc) you see currently are remnants of the Muslim Invasion of Iberia.

Nonesense. Germanic ancestry in Spaniards is very diluted, almost non-existent, even in the nobility of those times. Many Spaniards have blonde hair because they are Europeans, period. Light hair (mostly redhair) was already in Spain long before the arrival of the Visigoths. Most Spanish do not have black hair, but dark brown, the most common hair colour in Europe, and the original European one. Olive skin is usually a very fair tone, you wouldn't distinguish it from the skin tone of any Central European, adn actually recent studies have shown that Spaniards skin tone in covered areas is exactlyu the same as that of Central Europeans. Not a shock, if you trully know Spanish people and don't just know about the stereotype, adn not the actual country. The stereotype of Spaniards being dark comes from the Spanish gypsies, who are actually not ethnic Spanish, since they were originally from India. The muslim invasion left no genetic ancestry in Iberia. Brown hair and eyes are both the most common and the actual original traits of all Europeans, and a common trait among people from the Mediterranean region. It has nothing to do with Muslim invasions, it is the Mediterranean look, common to may Europeans, not just the southern ones. It is the most ancient European look, period. Those blonde haired blue eyed Europeans are the newcommers. Your typical Spanish/Portuguese, looks nothing like your stereotypical Spanish/Protuguese. What you consider to be "typical" is not typical at all. Stereotypical =/= typical. Most of the time I bet you couldn't tell the difference between a Spaniard and a Frenchman even if your life depended on it.

You seem to be interested in history so I think you should know that holding your sword pointwise to the ground is very frowned upon by people who own them. That's because the sharpened point is easy to bend, and even if you thrust it to the soft ground, the dirt will work like sandpaper and will also remove oil coating. Combining it with dampness of the ground and you'll very quickly have rusted point.
I've practiced Liechtenauer's swordsmanship (longsword) in Polish group Vectir, which is very similar to ARMA, and I was very surprised at first that they were laughing at me when I did it.
But anyway, it's an awesome piece and I really love all your historical themed works.

I used this picture as a reference to show my readers of what the Knight of Santiago may look like. Thank you! rothas-writing.livejournal.com/30091.html

I love the detail of the wrapped in metal wooden shield (at least that would make more sense, I have a notion of reflecting metallic grey, unless you planned it to be cloth)! The foot wear can't be comfortable at all.

Very Nice, the chain-links look real and the helmet makes me nostalgic.
<3 Lovely work!
