When I say I have a lot of projects, it’s a true fact because I have many in works including this one for Soul Eater, a kinda-ish AU? ish thing
A little bit about this particular weapon, its much different to the usual weapons that are used to capture keishin souls and witch souls. It collects a different kind of soul (I’ll explain more at a later time but it’s so warm, thinking clearly is hard rn) I haven’t got a human form for this one yet, who knows if it does
I told myself I wasnt gonna post wips but here we are. I'm posting wips.
Anyways I spent last night patterning and cutting out the two halves of the scythe blade annnnnnddd fastforward to today-
The product of today! Both halves were reinforced and glued together!!! It was a bitch and a half but probably not as bad as sanding it is gonna be bc I have to make my edges from each half flush together so it looks like one piece, and the taper the blade edge so it actually LOOKS like a scythe. Then I gotta seal it, and then paint it. Then seal the paint. Oh and at some point I gotta figure out the handle. And paint and seal the handle.
Heck me this better pay off bc that foam was COSTLY
