Swordtember: Orc Raider siege falchion

 Orc Raider siege falchion

Siege Falchion: These massive, thick-bladed swords are an ungainly combination of a lance, an axe, and a falchion. Orc worg riders can skewer slow foes with the point of the blade in a charge, or they can use the edge-shaped blade to make short work of wooden structures favored by the exploratory armies invading the Orc steppe.

Finding out Orc raiders did siege damage in Warcraft 3 was fairly disappointing. You’d think a blade longer than a human would make quick work of a footman, but the blade moves too slowly, apparently. Those raiders were great for just wrecking an enemy's expansion base.

Swordtember is a month-long sword-themed art challenge created by Faith Schaffer.

I have never played a 3D Final Fantasy game. My only experience with anything Final Fantasy was the handheld releases on the Gameboy systems, especially Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.

I'm a big fan of the Pathfinder Iconics and I've been playing Owlcat's Pathfinder: Kingmaker on Steam lately, so this big sword was getting drawn sooner or later.

Sword of Eclipse: If your giant troll-sized troll-slaying sword wasn't cool enough, why not give it a dark and edgy alternate manifestation after having a near-death experience fighting a god-like villain?

More big swords for Swordtember.

Trollhunters is a delightful show that is good enough to actually watch and not so complicated as to not be worth putting on in the background while drawing. Shows like this are very important for the modern artist. If you have suggestions let me know.

Swordtember is a month-long art challenge themed around swords. I don't have a full month of new drawings in me, but I do have swords that I haven't posted, so I might as well just post some finished swords that haven't seen the light of day.
