... ya know, I'm -really- happy about how this one turned out.
Better late than never, but in a sense, I'm glad I finished it now than earlier. Wouldn't have come out quite the same.

yup, but they're not really my cup of tea. I like spears, staffs and other long and light weapons, not so fond of axes. It's true that in small space they're little iconvenient but a wise warrior keeps always something smaller with him, a dagger for example. Maybe I ended up in scythe because of my fursonas backround, I don't know, but scythe is what I chose for him ^^ every weapon has their weaknesses, ya just have to learn em and find a way to nullify em:3
Mastering a single weapon effectively raises your efficiency with it beyond normal levels (obviously) and that sort of skill is key, leaving you focused on one type of weapon and keeping your skill sharp.
Utilizing multiple weapons takes time and considerable dexterity and skill, though the payout is usually more preferred considering the scenario if you somehow loose the functionality of your first initial weapon, you can always switch to a secondary, tertiary and so on...
In regards though, someone who can make use of multiple weapons in different situations has the advantage of being diverse and adaptable, ever changing to the constant inconsistencies of battle.
Someone who's mastered a single weapon though, is potentially skilled enough to meet any situation with success.
You can be proficient with your weapon and meet impossible odds and likewise you can be inexperienced with a sharp wit and impeccable improvisational ability and come out on top.
So essentially it's not whether or not you've mastered a weapon or are quite diverse in the practice of many, it all comes down to whoever wields the weapon.
And to answer your question, personally, I'd rather take the time and patience to learn multiple weaponry, mastering only in one. Sorry for that long-winded answer. :p

There's never an -end- to practicing with a single weapon. There's never a point where "you're done". There are always new techniques to learn, new techniques to create, new moves to practice and more goals to strive for so there's always something interesting to learn.
It's all about discipline. Routine builds discipline and focus. Sometimes it's not about what's interesting, but what's efficient.
To each their own, though. There's a right and a wrong way, but when it comes to learning different styles, if you can do it without your ability suffering in any criteria, then by all means, practice away!

ah, you're right. I didin't think it to the end c.c hmm... nothing to say now actually.. just thinking how practicing with many weapons could help you to adapt in different situations... like using the weapon in different ways.. like a spear/staff.. with spear it's easier to attack and defend at the same time, could one adapt this way with a sword easier if one has practiced with spear?.. like turning the attack away with the other end and continue the movement to an attack almost instantly..
When you attack, you leave yourself open no matter how defended you think you are.
You're focusing on an attack, which means you're less likely to defend successfully considering you're transferring your energy into the attack.
Spears are versatile, yes, but in the hands of a competent and trained individual, one could use a sword, or any weapon, in a similar situation and achieve the same result. Just because a weapon was meant for a dual-role, offense and defense, doesn't mean that a weapon for a single-role can't be used ingeniously for both offense and defense.

Hmm.. but still.. could training with many weapons help to learn the offencive/defence switching?.. I want to see it that way that it'd be very helpful to peractice with many weapons.. I can see that there's lot for me to learn.. this has been interesting conversation o far ^^ and I have learned quite a lot
Thank you kindly!
I feel especially proud of the perspective, flow, detailing and mood I set with the lighting, especially considering the background was done better than I expected.
I still think I could've done a bit better on shading. Doesn't quite feel completely right.
