What better for a SUNday than the sun prompt for Swordtember? Now if I could stop staying up so late to finish these that I almost see the sun, that would be great… 😅
I hope the Ice prompt for day 13 of Swordtember doesn’t leave you with too much of a chill… ❄️ 🗡️
Listen, no matter how you slice it, you don’t want to run into anyone who has a bone to pick with you while wielding day 16’s Swordtember (I’m sorry)
It’s day 17 of Swordtember and while I may feel stressed enough to shatter, there won’t be any breaking here today
It’s day 18 of Swordtember and I’m afraid I’m not much of a joker, so I don’t have anything particularly sharp or punny to say. Alas!
It’s day 19 of Swordtember and sometimes it feels like some people just can’t see the forest for the trees… er, swords… ⚔️ 🌳 (today was rough, I’ve had bad tachycardia and hypertension so I’ve been taking it easier with my swords)
It’s day 20 of Swordtember and suddenly my dreams feel so much less sharp and have grown fragmented, but I will swing onward (man these puns are trash but I’m still dealing with cardiac issues so bear with me 😭❤️ I really loved working on this one!)
Day 21 of Swordtember , give me sight beyond sight!! … Wait, wrong sword again… Oh well, Eye’ll get it one day
Day 22 of Swordtember , and much like with the gunblades, please don’t ask me how it actually works. Form over function with these things 🤣 please don’t take them into combat
Day 23 of Swordtember , and I just want to banish myself to my bed to sleep at a decent hour, but alas, I am still summoned to an ominous and ever-pulsating urge to draw swords
Day 24 of Swordtember , and it pains me that this prompt spells jewelled with one L, but what are you going to do? 🤣 Hopefully it’s still the jewel of your eye 💎
It’s day 25 of Swordtember, and let me weave you an elaborate tale of how I drew inspiration from real Italian Renaissance Schiavona or “basket-hilted” swords and woven belts 🤣 I think the idea was better in my head… 😅
It’s day 26 of Swordtember , and I was going to make a pun about a storm brewing, but instead I’ll just say those in the path of the very real hurricane, please stay safe! ⚡️ ❤️
Eh? What’s all this buzz about? It’s just day 27 of Swordtember , afterall!
It’s day 28 of Swordtember and did you know that when
✅ your birthday is on a 28th (albeit in Feb)
✅ your RL name is the same word as the prompt
you feel a lot of undue pressure to get it just right? It’s true!
A silly little bonus doodle to go along with the most recent Swordtember because, as I mentioned, I share my name with the prompt and was thus obligated 🤣
Cryssu, you put that thing back wherever you found it!! You are too old and tired for magical destinies!!
It’s day 29 of Swordtember The owner of this sword has a few skeletons in their closet (and anywhere else they can find space)
It’s day 30 of Swordtember and while we draw (hah) to a close, don’t rest yet, something tells me that trouble is nearby…
(Well, this was definitely a fun exercise in doing something drastically out of my comfort zone! Thank you to those who stuck with me even though I’m currently pretty overwhelmed and haven’t been able to reply much. Drawtober starts tomorrow but as I’m currently dealing with a kind of major life event/emergency, I’m not sure yet if I’ll participate, but good luck to all who celebrate! )
