Swordtember: Forgotten sword in the stone

Forgotten sword in the stone

Sword in the Stone: You have got to wonder how much it would cost to get that sword out of that stone.

This is an alt art of an item card from the Minish Cap set that I haven’t actually posted yet.

Swordtember: Uruk-hai Scimitar

 Uruk-hai Scimitar

Uruk-hai Scimitar: These mass-produced tools of killing are the antithesis of the meticulously crafted elven blades they were made to fight.

Swordtember: Kubikiribōchō

 Kubikiribōchō

Kubikiribōchō: Literally translated, the decapitating carving knife, this is one of the seven legendary swords belonging to the village hidden in the mists. This is also the second most reasonable sword of the bunch, even though it looks like an electric windmill blade instead of a sword used by people.

Swordtember: The Soul Edge

 Swordtember: The Soul Edge

Soul Edge: A lifetime of violence and death birthed this cursed blade and imbued it with a malevolent will that seeks only greater destruction and suffering. If you have the opportunity to take the soul edge because you just beat its owner, don’t, it’s obviously evil and will probably ruin your life and most of the lives around you.

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.

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.

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.
