Description
Earlier today I left a comment under a poser render with words to the effect of, "what, only 1 cup on the belt?" and, "mercenaries hold their 'earnings' in a pouch not a bank." This is the visual version of those ideas. I used a convenient, nearby model -- if someone says the other render had a better model, I won't argue.
You could see that poser image, ":: - See No Evil - ::" by following this link

Some nit picking explanations ... (1) the belt is a 'ring belt' -- commonly used in the SCA; (2) the 'Green Man' mug is from Fellowship Foundries ca. 1993; (3) both the mug and the wine cup are attached by a 'cup frog' -- a strip of leather with a rivet to make a loop on the belt, and a 'quick release feature' (LOL) a small slit that slips over a 'Sam Brown' button; (4) the pouch is a double drawstring that can be tied to the belt; (5) the 2 smaller knives are used (mostly) just for carving at a feast.
Shooting conditions: afternoon daylight, no direct sunlight; tripod; Nikon 4300; automatic, self timer.
The postwork was done in Photoshop 7: limited to crop, resize, form composite image, optimize for web.
Thank you very much for viewing.
I appreciate each and every comment that you offer

Very interesting shot! I'm a little afraid of the pants, lol, but that's just me. But, as a former anthropology major (still one at heart) I love learning about different, or past, cultures and practices. Thanks for sharing!

What no hat) Much more a renaissance faire man than a renaissance man. Yipes tight tights. Picture has a good feeling of depth.

This shows how interesting an older man can be, beauty is not only youth :-) But just one question: Does he attack? ;-)
MGD
Thanks for your comments. As to your question, I prefer to offer explanations and explorations instead of attacks.

Oh, and I also wished to note that the compression on this image seems to be very noticable. You might wish to try out a less harsh web optimization setting, unless you are dealing with specific constraints for how big the file can be.
