An elf-pirate or something else?
Is this a pirate? Why is she using a bow and wearing a scale armour which was not in a high fashion since the antiquity? Ok, some of it was used even in the Renaissance period by the Polish hussars and other Eastern Europeans, it's still a strange combo with those 17th century cavalry boots and the 18th century-esque jacket and sword. Archery mistakes are also there to stir the soup more:
1. Inflexible bow. How many times I have to correct this? Most probably forever since not many people see this blog!
2. There are a good 15 cm:s more to this arrow, so either the draw is not full, or the arrow is unnecessarily too long for her.
3. No, don't put the index finger on the arrow. A beginners mistake which results in a sore hand.
4. No quiver or other arrows.
