Description
And this is basically why humans keep invading the Herimash lands but never even tried to wage war against the Sa'jiir.
Herimash (cats) and Sa'jiir (lizards) are two of the non-human sentient species in my fantasy setting (Dwarves are the third one), in case you are not familiar with them. I made this mini-comic many months ago, but forgot about it until recently, and then completed it few days ago.Β Hope you like it!

This race of cats appear to be Amazon basin native Americans, while the dinosaur guy is an Arab. Is it intensional , if so why?

question: under what circumstances is a sword effective when bent at a 45 degree angle?
π: 0 β©: 1
Swords that are angled forwards have a suprisingly strong piercing damage while also delivering devestating cuts. If you look to a real life example the Dacian Falx, a two handed sword with a forward angled blade, could cleave through roman shields(scutum), and with a fatal blow to the head it could pierce a helmet all the way into the skull.

On top of being big, he also has armor and a sword made for fighting armored foes.

Ah, yes, the subtleties of diplomacy.Β
I like the detail you have put into making the different peoples' costumes and armour distinct, and the design of the Herimash' sword is cool. Makes one think of either a kopis, kukri, or shotel.Β

haha indeed!
Thank you a lot, I indeed try to make them easily recognizable. The Herimash' sword is pretty much based on an African mambele. ^^

That right there is the history of politics in a nutshell. He who holds the biggest stick picks the marching tune.

I'm not sure Yoda knew what he was talking about when he said that... when your opponent is 7 1/2 feet tall and their sword's are about the size of your LEG you should probably ovoid conflict with them as best as possible.

haha indeed, size really matters in some situations! XD

Furries and scalies have got to stick together!

Hehe. In my universe, my small species, which is about three feet tall, rides 250 pound predators. They also have numbers, and once they reach the space age, they've got the quickest reflexes, making them the best pilots. This has led to the smallest species being considered one of the most terrifying to fight.

It is not the same a kitten with claws that a lizard bigger than you and that can tear your head off a bite.
By the way, I'm dying of laughter with the reaction of the second guard in the second vignette, so coward leaving your companion in a danger situation.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha yep, things are quite different!
Coward or smart, depending on the point of view! XD

I can imagine. Only with the size of his hand, covers completely a human face.
That is true.

You should make a comic series based on your world and it's species. I really like your works and characters.

I really wish I could do more! Unfortunately finding the time is a problem.

I know, I have the same problem with time. I glad you have found the time to do those works tho.

Probably it fell down as the lizard grabbed him.

hahaha ooooh I LOVE this mini comic so much! I don't know how many times I've looked this page up just to look at this drawing again 
I think adding reptiles to your world was a great idea, especially now that you've flushed them out enough that only a idiot would think they are argonians 
Sa'jiir is also such a fantastic exotic name to give them. how on earth did you think of that?
but yea anyhow, fantastic mini comic, I just love this one to death

haha thank you so much mate!
I have no idea, the name just popped up! ^^

Ah! Poor Herimash!!
Not the more commanding stature they have I'm afraid XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't fret, little cat! Remember, the shorter you are, the easier it will be to cut your opponent's balls off! 
Can't think up of many ways for the humans to counter Sa'jiir's strength and knowledge of the territory other than destroying their sources of water and fertile areas, but that would be destroying the very resources that the humans need themselves.

hahaha indeed, and even despite the armor a club strike there would hurt!
They are indeed very dangerous when they are within their forests, in order to deal with them humans would have to somehow surprise them (if they don't expect any hostility)or trap them in an area where they can't run anywhere. Using dogs is also a good idea.
The best and safest way is to simply burn down the forests they hide in, after all most of the times humans simply want more fertile land, so the forests would have to be burnt and cut down in any case.

Interesting enough, Medieval people burned their woods all the time for good reasons.
They would isolate areas and burn them, causing plants to be fed from their own ashes and give sprouts.
So sprouts are little and delicious, and who likes that? Rabbits and deer. Game.
Hunt the deer! Hunt the rabbits!

There are ways to cut someone down to size, to prove a point.Β
π: 0 β©: 2
Yeah, with a glass clear logic "I am bigger, stronger and tougher than you and therefor I win"
π: 0 β©: 1
Not as clear as you think.Β If you are smart enough, you can turn your opponent's powers against them, crushing them with their own weight.

Point taken. I was actually trying to use sarcasm, but failed misrebly(Epic Fail!).
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, you can't hear sarcasm when you type.Β Also there was a few times when I was cut down to size by someone half my age, really messed with my metal state and made me think that I am a wimp for years.

That shows exactly why the context is so important...
π: 0 β©: 1
You mean that what's happening in the drawing is not understandable for lack of context?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, quite the opposite: it means what you say has a different effect if you are a big barbarian lizard instead of a kitten

Sorry!

Heh, heh... animals sure deserve more respect from humans...
In Danbuster's home, the United Animal Kingdom, only animals are allowed to live there; humans may visit on approved tours and holidays, but not to settle permanently...
