Get out, Matt Doing this challenge

A bundle of draws for @augssanctuary! I surprised myself with Tris and Matt here, and Neehil for once, didn’t turn characteristically creepy ♥

With the Forged being basically “Evil Exalted”, I had the thought how would it look like to have an Exalted Warhound so I faffed around with dyes on this boi a little. I rather like the outcome. Used Exalted NPCs and Auric Weaponry as comparison for which dyes fit best for the general parts, the highlights and the glow.

Some Matt draw practices, and also a little info on his living weapon, Aeglos! Some of the images have text for them, explained why below. The name is, as some of you will pick up on right away, borrowed from the Lord of the Rings, where it was the name of the glaive used by Gil-galad, last High King of the elves. There, its name meant “icicle”, or “snow point”, but the language not aligning with anything in GW2 lore, I merely took it due to it sounding suitable sylvan-fitting, next to its sibling blade, Caladbolg.

The weapon is, as explained, a living weapon, much like the aforementioned thorn of the Pale Tree. It constantly has magic coursing through it, and Matt is able to use his own to split it into a variety of forms, whereas the blade and the plant-like hilt shrink and regrow in a split second to accommodate (shown in the images).

My general idea of how Matt would do this came from FromSoftware’s action-RPG, Bloodborne, more accurately one of the trick weapons featured in the game, Rakuyo. Below you can see it in gif-form how the player can split the weapon into a sword and a dagger; which is similar to how I imagined Matt would split Aeglos apart into swords, daggers, or any variation aside it’s original greatsword shape.

So that’s basically what I imagined my punlord plant nerd to use! Maybe not the most original idea but it is heckin’ cool and I love it. Also I finally drew something, so, yay!

“Trahearne, keep an eye on your little brother while you’re out. Mattorian, no backtalk, listen to what Trahearne says.” “Yes, mom.”
