Sword designs to match each character in the story:

(1) (2) (3) Chinese long swords - design inspired the real-life Swords with Scabbard Mounts from the Met collection - ca. 600 CE

(3) is the least fancy, with scabbard made of rather plain dark wood, to match the character's status, history and overall design; the owner doesn't throw it away despite being broken, not being able to easily get a brand new sword

(4) European sword modelled after a number of 6th century ring swords - robbed from a grave, and thus quite ornamental

That's this morning's job done, drawing out a set of Cloud Motif Fittings for a full restoration job for a Qing Oxtail Dao. Drawing the fittings by hand isn't too tricky, I've done enough of these to sketch them free hand from memory. But I like to have a period example on hand for inspiration whenever I draw. Next I will clean the blade to make the polisher's job a bit easier.

My mom told me the oxheart cabbage in her garden was completely eaten by caterpillars and snails, and I wanted to draw something for #swordtember, so this happened!

Dreihander - an enormous blade with what appears to be a hand fashioned to the primary cross-guard Reliquary blade - a delicate thrusting sword with a small urn for the pommel, apparently containing the ashes of a long-forgotten saint

Finished up my latest commission for Fireland. A mighty blade forged by giants.
