Swordtember [they/them, she/her, They/She] ,, September 2021

Entry stories in the cut below:

Prompt #1 [Shadow]:

"We are the To'rin, the Cut-People, separated from our kin. We hold little use in Dust, for we are as unexceptional as the Veremon. As we look a lot like them, we work in the Human Lands. If our Daemonic heritage shows on our bodies, however, we must hide or remove them.

"We lurk in the Shadows, for we work the best undercover. The Si'rin are kind enough to teach us the art of blade-dancing-- Toku Kaliben-- and each of us are gifted a blade at the end of our training. This blade of Core is our Daemonic pride and joy."

---

Prompt #2 [Light]:

"The day that I become a Lith is gonna be awesome. Mother and Kimmel look so cool, strutting around with their wings in full display. ~And~ they get really cool swords to boot! I wonder what my sword will look like?

"I'm hoping that it is literally on fire, a beacon of Light that tells people 'I am Satcha, leader of the Zilra Fol; respect me!' ...Politics, you say? Well I'm not very well versed, but by the time I'm a Lith I'll have representatives beneath me, right?"

A blade that seems almost alive, for it is not really a blade at all

A tentacle attached to a handle, that wriggles, that writhes, that bleeds

An unconventional weapon

Swordtember 2020 Part 1

Ok so I thought since I’m uploading old work I shared on Twitter, that I’d discuss my Swordtember stuff, which has been a fun challenge that I used to get out of several art blocks while also studying materials.  My self imposed rules were: No thoughts, head empty. Take prompt and go. 2 hour limit. No longer. It’s okay if you drop it (a bit more relevant in 2021) Somehow i made a bunch of weapons, learned a lot, and had some fun while totally isolated in my apartment in the beginning of the pandemic! So here are some of my 2020 swords! Day 1: Fire.

“A fire blade made of obsidian. A wickedly sharp weapon that cauterizes as it cuts. Great for cooking!”

So this one was the first ever attempt and trying to very quickly find a shorthand for Obsidian and smoke were both shockingly fun and challenging. Despite the rest of the weapon feeling meh, I’m still very fond of this one. Again, two hours, I was still testing the waters. Day 2: Ice

“Her scabbard was lost, which makes wielding this weapon cumbersome at best. Please don’t stick your tongue on the sword, you will be sad.”

This is when I started realizing coming up with short prompts for my swords was... fun actually. So began the design of many cumbersome magical concepts. Day 3: Poison

“Quill and Inkwell, a rapier sheathed in poison that has started to stain the blade a beautiful green. I do not advise licking this blade either.” And here is where a running gag about not licking the swords spawned.  Day 4: Duel

“These blades must clash in order to work together. Good for snipping the tongues off the people coming in here to compare them to kill la kill.” This one turned out a bit weaker than I wanted, but such is the curse of art challenges.  Day 5: Sun

“Its name was Eclipse. His daughter mused how it looked like a sunflower. He preferred that name.” Yeah, I still like this one very much, both in regards to design and the story that was birthed alongside it.  I’ll make a post with the next 5 or so days in a bit, but for now, enjoy.

Swordtember 2021 Masterpost 2!

[strange-doors]

to continue repostober, let's take a walk down memory lane with swordtember by comparing my first ever entry in 2021...

with my latest entry, in 2023

it's been a hell of a ride, and I'm always thankful to those who followed along with me. Swordtember has become more than a monthly challenge to me, it's become an opportunity for me to really shine, and to learn more about historical weaponry!
