Hi all! Made another pic by accident. Well not really. I started archery & noticed how unrealistic some thief pics look becuase you never see Garrets bow, if you do he is always holding it in his hands. So where does he put it when he isnt using it? Anyone notice that you dont see the bow on Garret in T3DS? Anyway heres a idea for how he should transport it when not using it...:weird:

Just cant get the pic to work, wonder why...
Anyway, putting the bow on his belt is still too far fetched, I mean think about it, Garret uses a longbow which is far too big to carry around in his belt. If he was sneaking the bow would be swaying about & could knock something over & make noise so not the best idea. However putting the bow over his shoulder so that the string is behind him & the bow on his chest just seems a better idea or he should just use a crossbow which is more portable?
His guiver must also be made not to rattle with all those arrows in there...:erg:

The bow's on his belt, but it seemed too phallic and was removed.:o :cheeky:
I rather think that is a part of his tunic. :erm:

It's a shortbow, not a longbow. A longbow is equal to the height of the person using it. I may be totally off base with this, but I was always under the impression that the shortbow was either kept on the quiver, somehow attached, or just right on inside of it. Made sense to me, grab the bow and an arrow in one swipe.
And yes, that bit was part of his tunic, though the strange thing coming off the back of his hip is still suspect.
ArtofDutch, I'd suggest making another attempt at the face in your drawing. Remember, as far as the entire cranium is concerned, the eyes are roughly centered from top to bottom. Work our your line of symmetry from the top of the skull to the jaw, and then a center line which goes around the entire head horizontally from front to back. If you work out these two crossed circles correctly, you have the position of the eyes. Of course, then the trouble is, how close together or far apart are the eyes? But you don't seem to have that problem. To give you a hint as to what's wrong, your eyes are much too high, and the right eye is much higher than the left one.

I have a rather short bow (although I suspect that the term short bow - at least in German - is like short sword rather something RPGish and nothing really used elsewhere), namely the Samick Korean Horsebow with a 50" string (you can see it in the rope arrow thread). In a bow case attached to a belt around the waist (similar to (
http://www.kolumbus.fi/rauno.huikari/Piirrokset/hunni.jpg) this one, but carried on the back), I think this is the best version one can carry a strung bow with having both hands free. But even so this thing is as hindering as a sword, i.e. ventilation shafts are not recommended.
Maybe
if I shoot my video about the first real rope arrow, you'll see it. :p
