This Is Pilum Murialis Growing His Fey Tree Weapon. I Wanted Him To Look More Predatory, Not Like The

This is Pilum Murialis growing his fey tree weapon. I wanted him to look more predatory, not like the more deer looking firbolg I’ve seen. He has fangs, I just didn’t draw any open mouth sketches yet, I wanted him to have an apathetic expression like he just doesn’t care. He lives for the mission of keeping the green safe and the humans out of the fey wild. In my brain hole I decided to make a unicorn the ruler of the fey wild or at least a certain part of it. This unicorn has become ill from the humans destroying so much of the forests, he was tasked with the mission of killing the humans around the fey wild portals by the fey mother, doing so would help nature recover and the unicorn would regain his strength. (The dm had talked about the campaign taking place in some area where humans and other races had begun to industrialize, and they were destroying huge swathes of forest to lay train tracks to haul off the natural resources and what not. It was like a huge city building thing and all the pollution had started to poison nature. The firbolg clans had gotten sick as well and started to retreat further and further into the forests as they couldn’t handle all of those humans) I had decided that the fey wild kind of mirrored the world, not exactly but if a major change happened the fey wild would also be changed. And that’s what was causing the unicorn to become sickly and weak. I really would have liked to play with him and try out a completely evil character with a goal. But that never happened

This was another prototype sketch for a firbolg lawful evil Druid character for a campaign that never happened because everyone I played with sucked. Anyways, his name was pilum murialis. The nettle in the darkness or thorn in the darkness. His outfit was made from the silk of giant spiders in the fey wilds, and given its connection to strong fey magic, the wings unfold when strong magic is nearby. Normally it looks like a kind of poncho wrapped up. He wears flexible leather thigh high leggings?? Leg warmers?? And forearm length arm warmers?? And like a leather vest/tank top. I wanted him to look sleek as he primarily acts as an assassin killing humans and others that threaten the green. He doesn’t kill children tho, as children can learn to respect and honor the green. Their parents, not to much.

The early stages of a project, I had a katana from BudK I was in the process of customizing when the idea hit me. Disguise the sword to look like a sapling tree, so I started to apply and sculpt quickwood and steelstick epoxy putty. Many layers, I easily spent over $100. If it’s worth doing it’s worth over doing, it required many layers to get the thick sturdy coverage I wanted. The sheath is quite heavy, it also stands on its own. These pictures are months old, so I’ve finished this since then. I wanted to create a comic and draw it and color it and all that, I’ve named this sword “forest demon” as that was going to be the name of the sword in comic.

Side note, the katana is slightly longer than a regular katana, it’s not quite a tachi or Okatana. I also applied gun bluing to the blade, to make it black. I find black blades very beautiful. So I’m not sure what category it would fall into, the hilt was very long and full-tang, about 2 feet. So the branch and tree thing really seemed fitting

I’m not sure what you mean

Is this tumblr still active?

As far as I know lol, any particular reason you’re asking?

This part took the longest as was the most finicky part, and it still is! The blade doesn’t slide back in smoothly, something catches it inside. So I’ll need to find a way to fix that issue when sheathing the sword. I achieved the bark like texture with a combination of techniques. Thermal moldable plastic beads I bought on eBay, which I then shaped with my hands and squeezed to the plastic texture. My hands are rough from landscaping and weapon training, so it feels like bark. The veins add a nice touch as well. I achieved that blended mottled bark color with alcohol based markers, which blend nicely. I colored the plastic when it was cold, it’s natural color being white, then heated it back up with a heat gun to set the color into the plastic and not just on the surface. I added some fake leaves from flowered I took apart for another project, and boom. A somewhat realistic sapling with a hidden blade
