Captain Quintus Finch [NMA]
Sketch done wonderfully by 
Roidhfox
Ahoy! I'd be blown down if ye nigh yet heard of me. I am, as I would like you refer to me, Captain Quintus Finch. Pass around a cup o' grog and listen ere I feed the fish for dead men tell no tales. This be my story...
I've been getting too into pirates lately, and now prepare for this new phase of me.

Character belongs to me, because it is me.

Suspended disbelief- temporarily allowing oneself to believe something that may or may not be true, especially in order to enjoy a work or critique of fiction.
Hope you enjoyed the writing/art work you've seen, *Please* leave a comment, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks. 
"Art is born out of an ill-designed world." "The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as an example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good." -filmmaker, Andrei Tarkovsky, on what the purpose of art is.

There are various ways and styles to attach a sword scabbard to the belt or elsewhere and it would appear he doesn't have one, lol.
Most people think it's as simple as slapping one on, but it matters quite a bit where the weight is distributed at the waist for balancing, comfort, etc.
Even wearing a practice sword taught me how annoying a longsword is when sheathed improperly, lol.

I noticed that as the inking was happening; I just decided to let it fly and make a excuse for it's absence in the actual story line.
You know, I've always wondered: would pirates, people who probably had very little high ranking goods for the most part, actually know how to fight with a sword properly? Where'd they get their lessons? Was one of them a person who had come from a rich ranking and knew lessons?
So many questions that many people don't think too much about.
I'm sure he'll know where to put it when the time comes.
Thanks for the advice.

Well, for me, the difference between using a scimitar and my longsword is noticeable.
On the one hand, my slashes with the scimitar are more dexterous and smooth compared to my current longsword experience, which could be called amateur at best.
So, I'd imagine a short curved sword like the cutlass wouldn't require years of mastering and technique like a sword such as the longsword or any long double-edged swords.
Plus, grip matters too, and I've come to appreciate that fact and the way it allows the sword to be manipulated in the hand.
All this can be taught and learned relatively fast, depending on the person's ability to adapt and study the techniques and limitations. It took a couple of swings at first to figure out good posture and proper handling for the scimitar, if we were to compare.
Anyways... Here's some links if you want to start your research.
1. The Golden Age of Piracy: A Complete History by Gold and Gunpowder (YT)
Check out their channel too, there's some good stuff.
2. My BEST PIRATE SWORD types for SUCCESS in the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730)? by Scholagladiatoria Highly recommend this channel tbh.
You're welcome, btw I enjoy talking about this stuff so anytime, boss.
