This Part Took The Longest As Was The Most Finicky Part, And It Still Is! The Blade Doesnt Slide Back

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

A sketch from a while back, I used a picture I posed for as reference. I made that spear, it’s a practice short spear in case you were wondering

The second sketch, the wings are open. My background for him was that he was born on Walpurgis night, which is an ill omen to the firbolg (made it up entirely) because the firbolgs born on those nights are clad in raven fur, and are generally evil natured. Which as a Druid in the firbolg community that’s a no no. So on those nights a fey being comes, to whisk those children away to the fey wild to be trained as guardians of the green. They are given a special seed from the fey tree (like the world tree, it’s the magical epicenter for the fey wild and keeps the veil that separates it in place, also completely made up!) this seed then grows into a weapon that can change form, a halberd/spear form with a petrified wood blade, a staff, a sword with hard thorn spikes that rip and tear and later apply poison, and a bow with arrows that sprout from the thorns he breaks off the bow (the bow string is giant spider silk, everything that lives on the tree becomes a part of it in a way. Like king from seven deadly sins who inspired this weapon!) he never received a name from his parents and has never met them. His name came from the fey mother, she raises all the firbolg children. So with no connection to his people or anyone aside from the fey mother and the green, he follows out his orders with no hesitation

Is this tumblr still active?

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

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

This is the gorgeous moth wing cape I bought from CostureoroReal on Etsy, you can see all the leaves have been added from even this shit poor angle. I still have more tweaking to do on the helm and hair, the hair isn’t as full as I would’ve liked and some of the helm is crooked. And I don’t like things that aren’t symmetrical, so that’ll have to be fixed. I shall endeavor to record my progress as I go on from this point, for whatever fans I have or gain from these posts. Thanks for viewing!
