For the blacksmith piece
I think the hammer is kinda to long to make it believable let me explain what i mean .The weapon he is holding create a longer arc than a smaller hammer which mean it would hit further than if he had a hammer with a smaller handle if you look at video of blacksmith you rarely see them use two hand hammer or even a two hand hammer with one hand(of course he a centaur so i am going to assume it a bit different for him but still the arc argument remain.A longer hammer would in my opinion serve a different task which would be to flatten the blade will a smaller one would be use for control and sculpting shape.
So what i am trying to say is that i strongly suggest a smaller hammer because if you make a google research you will hardly ever find any blacksmith using hammer longer than half of an hammer.If he would to be using this hammer he would be using is two and for maximum force and have to be further away from the blae i would argue due to the longer arc. The problem as to why you choose to illustrate it that way might be due to how much strenght you wanted the viewer to feel and how a smaller hammer would have overlap and be hide by is foreshorten arm.So sometime it just a question of testing with thumbnail and problem solving but i certainly can't pretend to understand what made you took those choose.
Thank for listen to my nitpicking.
