We had a couple of teething problems with the armour, but to be honest, it works great ^^ We’re changing the fauld a little and the cuisses have to be shortened. Really minor stuff considering

Happy to say that I will officially return from my hiatus when my new armour is rigged, in ~ mid November! I already announced it in my Discord last night, but figured I’d let you lot on socials know as well. Please see the attached images for further details ^^.

__Official hiatus end announcement - NOVEMBER!__

Hi! Some of you may know me as Durendal. Others, Gramr. Some might remember me when I still called myself Excalibur. However, I’ve had a bit of a reshuffle with my branding! Auncell is the name I will be sticking with.

I have had a long think over the past few days, weighing up things like the impending long dark after I’m done with my LARP event next weekend, and I’ve decided that my formal return from hiatus will be when my new armour is finished in **November!** Currently, the ETA for the rigged model is the 15th, which is just shy of two months as of today.

I look forward to seeing you lot again after so long away from streaming, and I hope we’ll get even more new faces with time ^^.

I do not have a debut planned for my return. I’ll just be coming back like I went to fetch milk and cigarettes. I may do one in the future! But, it’ll be when I feel the time is right.

I also realise I never really left my server, even if I’ve been away from streaming since before I left with my family to go on the Orlando trip.

In the meantime, if you’re at VeXpo, I’m still attending! Happy for anyone I know here to come say hi if you happen to be there.

Oh, and if anyone records the longsword tournament at my club at the end of this month, I’ll show you lot some of my bouts. One of the guys did record the last one I competed in, but he never posted them in the group chat. Shame, because there were honestly some really good exchanges and I’ve come a long way since I started fencing.

Dude you don’t even know how hyped I am for the new armour Aki’s doing This one has been so worth the wait, and all the time it took for me to draw the reference! 🎨 Model - @/akimoto888.bsky.social 🎨 Reference - Myself

Partially cropped Live2D PNG of a low fantasy plate armour harness (loosely late 15th c. English in style) with dragon motifs, including an armet with a visor fashioned into a dragon’s jaw (with a wrapper plate that has ornamental wings on it), and a gold gardbrace shaped into a patagium (as in, a bat wing).

Just a draft, will probably add more langets and extend them halfway down the haft when I draw the rest of it, but here ^^

Brainstorm sketch of an original pollaxe design, based off 15th Century Western European pollaxes. It features a hammer head with a spiked texture on the striking surface, a spike protruding from the middle (with a dragon and chapel arch motif), and a bearded axe head with several holes cut into the blade for balance purposes. The langet is patterned with rivets, and is relatively short.

One of the earliest examples of bar jokes is
Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog:
"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!" [1] The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain.

Heyo! Couple of announcements, this is a week late but,

Discord announcement that reads as follows,

Alright, so, some news!

- I can’t do VC tonight. I just remembered that I have a PF2E oneshot to play. We’ll do it tomorrow night though!

- My artist is COOKING omg, like you don’t know how good the final armour is looking, it’s easily gonna be the best one yet

- I’ve been writing drafts for the prologue Chapter of my lore!
The opening is a sort of short poem, which uhhhhhhhh you can interpret however you wish, until the prologue is finished.
For basic context, though, Hobbs’ Tower is a Gaol Tower. But why would a Gaol Tower have glass windows at the top? Makes you think, doesn’t it?

• I’ve been so focused on these developments that the HEMA zatsudan may have to be postponed again, unfortunately, if only to give me more time to preen the script. But I suppose I won’t be seriously back to streaming until my new harness is finished ^^, which will be another few months yet. It’s due in November. The .cmo3 for the model got lost after all.

Anyway lads, I’m gonna be locked in until tomorrow. Cheerio until then!

Since @akimoto888.bsky.social is officially making my new armour now, I can share the full sketch I drew, as it’s complete!

A historically-informed fantasy armour reference I drew with various annotations, and a 15th century hand-and-a-half sword sidearm. It is fashioned after a loose collection of European armour styles, such as Gothic, Italian and English styles, in various places.

- The cuirass has an overall English style shape, with jagged cusping on the plackart and a repeated scalloped pattern on the fauld lames, as well as a bell-shaped construction with the fauld. The tassets hang straight down in front of the legs, on white leather straps. The cuirass also features a blue belt/strap closure around the waist, common on German or Gothic harnesses. A large spur-shaped gold rivet keeps the plackart bolted to the breastplate, with a white leather strap passing through it that leads to the clavicle.
A fantasy blue hood with gold trim sits on the cuirass’ shoulders.

- The 3/4 arm harnesses are fluted in the English style, with prominent ‘barley twists’ on the rerebraces that travel in singular directions, and chevron fluting on the vambraces. The couters are fashioned on a pattern resembling dragon wings, and gold laces tie the arms together.

- The leg harness bears two separate wings on the cuisse: An avian, feathered wing on the outside of the thigh, and a dragon wing on the inside.

- The pauldrons are asymmetrical, with the right pauldron being Italian in nature (having a serrated, fluted gardbrace) though with an anachronistic hautepiece, and the right one being English, with a fluted gardbrace of lustrous golden metal, again fashioned into a draconic wing.

- The helmet is a fantasy idea combining an early 15th century armet (such as the one seen in the Getty Manuscript of the Fior di Battaglia) with that of a dragon’s jaw motif on the visor, and a partial wrapper plate that leaves the right side of the face bare whilst protecting the left.

- A relief depicting two dragons fighting is attached to the left pauldron via a tied rope.

I’d say the sketch is more or less done now ^^ Also working on the helmet to go with it.

Rough sketch of an upper body 15th c. English style plate harness, sans legs, helmet & gauntlet. Some fantasy licence has been applied to the design, including fastenings that’ve been shaped like ogive (commonly known as Gothic) arches.

Rough unfinished sketch of a Fantasy take on an armet, loosely inspired by the early 15th c. armet that appears in Folio 33r of the Fior di Battaglia Getty Manuscript/MS Ludwig XV 13. It has a visor with split ocularia, a grille formed on a dragon’s snout and teeth where the wearer’s mouth would be, and a partial wrapper where the cheekplate only covers the leftmost half of the face. This has fluting fashioned on a bird’s wing.

Rough Reference sketch on a graphic tablet, depicting part of a late 15th century Western European plate armour harness, including a complete cuirass, sketches of some of the individual pieces (arm harness, pauldrons, couter, a fixing shape for the straps). Graham Turner’s art book ‘The Wars of the Roses’ is open above the tablet.

Haha onion This one is more of a shitpost but here’s an onion-topped grand bascinet ^^ Idea came about from a convo I had with @syrnobody.bsky.social the other night, and I realised we had loads of onion-topped English style helmets, save grand bascinets, so here’s what I think one could look like

A hypothetical/joke design for a grand bascinet helmet with a fluted ‘onion’ spiral top. The decorative symbolism - including the fixing for the wrapper plate - is also onion themed, with an inscription reading ‘Caepa’ (Latin for onion) across the brim of the helmet.

I consider Tewkesbury to be one of the /best/ history festivals on the planet hands down, yesterday was absolutely worth withstanding 30 celsius for

Richard, Duke of Gloucester (who would later be known as Richard III) takes the field alongside his retinue. His men can be identified by their livery bends, the sashes worn on their cuirasses. These bear a white boar; Richard’s trademark.

Men at arms waiting to take the field. The combatant on the far left is likely a knight or noble, who would often fight on the far left of a formation so that he could be seen by his own troops clearly.

A Lancastrian knight (identified by the red rose on his bend) waits to advance onto the field. His armour bears the typical hallmarks of Italian export plate, including a wide fauld with gently scalloped lames, an armet, and little fluting aside from the pauldron.

I haven’t been transparent about why I haven’t been streaming over the past 4-5 months so here it is TL;DR, Twitch’s agegating pretty much tanked my motivation to make content. But I haven’t mentioned that since I don’t want people to feel sorry for me when my circumstances are a drop in the bucket

An announcement sent to my Discord server. It reads as follows,

Thanks for coming tonight! Cubix is such a goofy show but it's a childhood favourite

I haven't come clean about why I haven't been streaming lately, but I think 4-5 months of nothing isn't fair on you lot. I'm ready to address it (using the @/everyone ping for this, since I consider it important):

So you probably noticed that my activity dropped way off after my country's government decided to start throwing out age checks right? Twitch decided to start agegating streams and you'd need to give ID to be able to watch certain streams in my home country, unless you use a VPN to get around it.
The long and short of it is, one day, I was checking back one of the VODs for a stream (it was Baldur's Gate 3), and it agegated *my own fucking stream*. I did use a VPN while I was streaming, but the traffic was genuinely awful. If you remember, we had severe technical difficulties because of the VPN, and I ended up having to call it off.

I am not going to be giving a scan of my face to a corporation that may be lying about whether or not they will store the data. Given that they might be banning/restricting VPNs here next, I'm not sure paying for a better VPN would be worth the trouble long-term.
I can't use the tags to keep my streams 18+ because of this so I'm not sure what the future of the channel will be. **I don't want to retire since I feel like I've barely started, and this shit will not hold me back unless there's no way around it.**

Yes, I'm aware that you have to give ID to Twitch for affiliate onboarding. I am fortunate enough to say that I'm not interested nor worrying about monetising my content in the near future, so I have absolutely no reason to give them my ID.

I hate being open about this stuff since I don't want people to feel sorry for me over something that a lot of people have been affected by. I thought you lot should know why I've been cancelling everything.
Thank you all so fucking much. I love you.

I think my long term goals have never been about numbers but really, just my own interests I put a whole dragon design off for a while, given it’d be hard to find artists, but I finally got a copy of Rage of Bahamut from CEX and I’ve been watching it. I think I’m ready to give it a shot ^^

Screenshot of a Discord announcement message & poll, sent by me

Text reads as follows:
‘Now that I’m coming back do you lot want a uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Dragalia Lost-ish sorta dragon design?
Been thinking about it for a while now and I know I’ve been talking about it on and off, but I was apprehensive about commissions and whatnot given I’d have to check someone can do beasties like that.
I’d still keep what I have for streams of course ^^ unless I like, consider getting a separate dragon model lol’

The instep buckles are black. All buckles are accented with blue fastenings.
