The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]
points about this
-it was shot off by a cannon
-he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand
-it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’
-after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop
-after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass

Anonymous asked: Hand update!
I have two of them! They have, luckily, not fallen off but my arms are still sore. I am not allowed to draw for another 3 days minimum and even then I have to be extremely careful and work slowly towards recovery, which is estimated to be like 2/3 weeks away. Basically we on our way but it’s a long way.
fanta-friends asked: on estimate how many years do you think it will take for all of tpoh to be done ? ive recently started a webcomic and im slightly worried i’ll die of old age before it gets finished haha
same. I don’t know. I DON’T KNO W MAN WHA T ARE WE GOING TO DO I’M SCAR ED
potential TPoH spoilers in theses! don’t read if you’re not up to date folks
I always have people asking if I write a script for TPoH ahead of time and the answer is… sort of. I have this car crash of a ‘gist list’ for the whole story written out, and these are parts that you’ll recognise if you’ve read the comic. As you can see it’s very informal and in fact some of these events happen in a different order from what’s written down here, but that’s because I like to keep the spontaneity of the comic hopping by almost avoiding planning as much as i can. I thumbnail the visuals of each chapter in advance, but I stop when I’ve done the chapter because I know I will keep improving as I go and I don’t want to trap myself with old work, which maybe sounds dumb but hey it’s worked for the past 6-7 years. it also avoids me getting bored/frustrated with not having reached a bit, rather it makes me look forward to reaching it even more! anyway I still can’t draw but I figure this might give you a giggle and a bit of an insight into my very bizarre writing process.
also don’t take all the things written here too seriously/deeply bc I mayyy have changed some concepts around/thought of a better thing between writing this and getting to that actual bit in the story :Tb
