The Early Stages Of A Project, I Had A Katana From BudK I Was In The Process Of Customizing When The

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

The last drawing of the prototypes, I liked this one but he didn’t have the whip so I had to draw it again. He needed that THIC vibe so I drew him with my thunder thighs, and that did the trick! I decided to take the wings off the neon pink heart, it was already gay enough

And this is the last prototype, but it’s basically the final form of the outfit. The long hair sleeves add that dramatic touch, inspired by bayonetta’s outfit in the first game. I also went with a bun since bayonetta had that cool wrapped hair cone in the first game, I wanted to capture that same vibe.

This was a prototype for my D&D character, I was playing with designs and proportions. I wanted to go for a male half orc version of bayonetta, with the thickness. But the legs and arms ended up being too slender and the outfit covered up more than it revealed oddly enough. I was playing around with magic circles to summon his whip and sword but ended up going a different rout altogether

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.
