Description
CREDIT YANILYN


EDIT:
I'm not a fencing expert nor do I watch fencing so I'm not familiar with the names, rules, types of weapons or any other materials used. I only made this work for my friend, who only wanted me to draw some fencing action so that's all I did.

If you spot anything wrong in terms of weapons, poses, or anything similar, it's because of my lack of knowledge on the sport. For those of you who have notified me previously about it, thank you for pointing them out. As for the one's who are looking at this piece for the first time, you don't need to critique me about fencing since others have already did and I'm already well aware of it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a christmas gift art for my RL friend, Angelo (Ayan, nilagay ko na rin dito yun description ). He was asking for this since...last last year. D: Didn't actually thought of posting it on dA since it's not my usual anime styled drawings. But I needed to at least submit something on the year 2006 :'D so here it is.

I put this pic on portraits because i used A LOT of references to make this pic x.x it's REALLY hard to draw people with fencing equipments plus the fact that i have no knowledge about their swords, etc. so i had some errors on the first 2 drafts of the lineart (thanks to angelo for pointing out the mistakes. Had no idea about the difference between foil, epee, and sabre).

Hmm. About the drawing, the logos on the 2 fencers are representing Germany and the Philippines. We used germany because their logo's easy, saving me more time to work on the other parts. As for the Philippines, it's obviously because that's our country. :'D The sun of the logo's a killer. D: It had wavy rays... I had no idea how to draw it on the folds of the suit. D: I put Angelo's mask on the Philippine fencer (he didn't ask for it ) just for fun. Here's a photo of his mask as reference. :3 [link]

Feedback? He likes it. Especially the fact that he's actually in the picture but ended up being a right-handed fencer instead of a leftie x.x (He's left-handed ). Oh well. :'D Belated Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year

I like the picture, though as a fencer I spotted some problems u w u
I do foil, so don't yell at me if it's sabre aha

Fencer on the right
 
1) He/She does not have a lame. (The gray/sometimes brown electric layer that covers your 'target area' 
2) The back leg that is extended is supposed to be flat on the ground~
3) The fencer is obviously a right-handed fencer, and it would be an 'illegal' move if he put the foil like that next to the helmet. To be a point, your arm must be extended, otherwise the right away is gone. So technically, Germany would've won in this. u v u;;


Fencer on the left

1) It would be hard for someone fencing electric to jump that high 
2) Foil's don't quiet.... Bend like that. It would've snapped. 
3) That pose might not be consider a full- ballad strike since he is waYYYY too high

--

But yeah!! That's basically it!
I love the shading and the anatomy in this, it is very well done ♥

EsgrimaPhoto [2011-08-21 03:12:17 +0000 UTC]

Two mistakes: the fencer on the right is not wearing a lame'(the gold/brown sleeveless jacket worn my the fencer on the left) This is to establish target area(it's foil/saber's way of scoring(their electrical circuit to be completed). Additionally the masks appear to be made of a solid reflective plate, they are actually made of a stiff wire mesh.
-Finally you did do an accurate job with the poses, they were both legitimate actions done in the past by fencers on the world stage.
-Nice work and sorry for the long comment, thought it might be helpfull for future works and to expell doubts about the poses.

Raemyker [2011-03-23 23:27:49 +0000 UTC]

That is excellent; I am not a fencing expert either...but I have done fencing. (In fact, I just got back from practice.)
I love the positioning and I can relate to how they are moving, though I am much clumsier than they are. The anatomy and proportions are amazing, and for someone who hasn't been in fencing, you've done well.
Two thumbs up and five golden stars, is what I would say!

wapacalypse [2010-11-17 02:31:56 +0000 UTC]

im a fencer, lol and a simple correction for future, foil uses a grey fest called a le-may and the weapon drawn here is a foil, but how the guy on the right is aiming is for an epee, touch ( epee is whole body foil is only the vest area) to make this an epee match all you would need is to make the weapons bell a bit larger like an epee bell.

its... i dont know the name in english,
but its a machine, you connect your body cable,
that its inside the jacket, that connects to your weapon, so when you touch the other guy,
the light turns on(:

null23 [2010-03-24 06:06:44 +0000 UTC]

The one on the right isn't wearing a lame, although the left one is and they're fencing electric foil.

And it's very unlikely and very impractical, but the image you depicted is possible to do.

that was good and pretty accurate too though u rnt supposed to turn ur foot over when you lunge but thats a style thing! so cool! ther is a photo like that in the club i fence at but this is way cooler. it is good enough to be a photo but somehow the paintingness of it makes it better than a photo.
