There is some kind of odd effect happening down around the knee/calf on his right leg.

It's just the weird shadows because it's a low poly model, thank God. I redid that leg SO MANY times to get the rotation right.

I'm working on a gut stab at the moment. This one's a little longer, and a lot more vicious-looking! The throat attack is meant to be extremely quick, this next one will be a disemboweling attack.

Oh my..... I can't wait to see that

And here it is! It's a little hard to tell, but he pushes the blade in (it takes some work), twists in, and then extracts it. Messy!

Hehehe. It's a good thing our mothers aren't reading this!

He shouldn't raise his shield like that. There is sculptural as well as practical (re-enactment) evidence that the Scutum was held low to protect the legs, since the shoulders were already double armoured. In point of fact he should move his shield as little as possible.

His trailing leg looks a little elongated to me.

It's kinda hard not to move his shield when he steps forward to stab, I think it looks great.

And he's not raising his shield by the way, he lowers his body because he spreads his legs when he steps forward to stab.
