This one's pretty old, and while I recognize there are things wrong with it, I still love it. This is Vivienne, my fursona, who was originally created for a furry space pirates role-playing game.
I also used to fence in the SCA, and while I never got quite skilled enough to handle the case of rapiers myself (one rapier in each hand), I always figured Vivienne would.
As an aside, her costume was chosen after I found that fabulous renaissance jacket at a Gargoyles con; I already owned the ruffled shirt, got the frog for my rapier, a wig with long curls like this, and I was set.
Original was drawn in 2002, coloured with my lovely Tria markers.

Thanks a lot!
Instead of redrawing this, though, I'd probably come up with a completely new drawing (and have over the years). I think I like this picture because it was a breakthrough for me back in 2002 when I did it. It came out far better at the time than what my skill level was, so it's kept a special place in my heart. This is saying a lot because I pretty much cringe at everything else I've drawn in that year...

The handles aren't, these are based off my own swords.
There's a bad skewing in the face, the thigh is too short, the lower leg too long, and the far foot shouldn't look that bent back. Those are the most obvious to me. Then again, I didn't have the knowledge I do now when I did this.
