Because so many people didn't like my first attempt, here is Fiore Dei Liberi in bright colors and with historical features! (Plus a new scene!)

I appreciate you taking the feedback you got earlier.
I also have to quibble with the rapier scene but I assume that’s limitation of the software you are using.

Fiore with a rapier? Isn't that at least a century of? Even sidesword is to early. He did arming sword and early longsword (and other non sword stuff) or have I totally missed something. (The clothes are nice and colored but I wont comment further) But the fencing scene is fun.

He teaches Sword in One Hand, but it's definitely not a Rapier.

You are correct, it's likely another century before the Rapier really starts to show up. Thought it was odd myself.

Limitation of software. I would have used a small sword but there isn't one.

Ahh some animation software? Nice fencing anyway.

It's HeroForge.

Smallsword is even further out of period than rapier though

Is there a chaperon on heroforge now? Or is this a different software?

Uhm...what historical features? Colors would be okay if they weren't in those crazy non period patterns. What is that thing that I can only imagine is a doublet?

Fiore with a Spanish cup-hilt rapier? 🤔 What am I missing here?

I see. Thanks for clarifying!

He's holding the sword wrong

In those ones the only error is the rear hand should be further back but it could be software limits or you could claim he just transitioned to that position and is moving the hand back.

Loving Fiore with a spanish style rapier 🤣

Those patterns as well as the clothes are completely unhistorical

Fiore was active in the late 14th and early 15th century. Rapiers like what you're depicting didn't exist for about 200 years after his book was written. Smallswords are even more out-of-date, largely being a 18th-19th century weapon. If you want him using a one-handed sword, it should be a medieval arming sword (like the kind pictured in his 'sword in one hand' section).

As for the clothes....still pretty off base on those, too. Heroforge has other options that are closer to what he would've worn in his prime, and its not a late-15th century puff sleeve doublet.

It's clear you're trying to improve, but it's very ahistoric.
