This Is The Blade Drawn, Its Basically The Top Half Of The Tree. Almost Seamlessly Disguised, And It

This is the blade drawn, it’s basically the top half of the tree. Almost seamlessly disguised, and it fits quite snuggly in the sheath. It won’t come out with a tug or from using it like a walking stick, you have to really pull it out. The hilt is quite heavy now, naturally, and has a guard. The longer handle on this sword lends nicely to the tree look, I didn’t have to add anything to extend the hilt length. I just covered what was there and added the twigs.

You can also see that skull mask, which is a sneak peek into my next project. Antlered deer skull helm, the helm of the horned god Cernunnos. Who is also in the comic I may one day get around to drawing! If anyone knows of a good drawing tablet with a built in screen let me know please, I’ve been looking at reviews but they’re just confusing really

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

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, you can see the outfit has more or less taken shape, I prefer my characters barefoot as I don’t like shoes all that much. But he really needed combat heels to sell that THIC slut vibe I wanted. I added more bulk, but he still lacked them thic curves. The giant weapon was from a 1 off campaign, it was one of those hallway swinging axe trap things, I rolled a nat20 and ripped it out the wall. So it became weapon for that character. In my mind I always pictured Grougo snaring someone with the whip then slicing them with some huge weapon. He mostly got to that point, except with the sword of kaz

What’s your “love language???”

!!VIOLENCE!!

Don’t fuck’n hug me! Draw your sword out and cut me! Let us duel, clash our hard steel together, just the tip! Gliding across flesh! Let’s stain the bedsheets crimson from carnal intimacy! Our scarred flesh a detailed patchwork of passion! Its not skin-deep, our bond cuts to the bone! Cleave our hearts open and rip them out, the useless organ only gets in the way. In death we shall be together forever more, in a cold, icy embrace
