Masamune - Blog Posts
i kinda gave up on posting inktober stuff regularly and in order, buuuttt i kinda got back into beyblade? it was one of my favourite shows when i was younger and nile is kinda an alltime favourite character of mine. rewatching the anime with the english dub (instead of the german one i grew up with because i live in germany) made me realize in full effect how annoying/dramatic and sometimes ridiculously bad the voiceacting is and that i definitely favor niles german voice over his english one. and after looking at what the fandom has put out on tumblr and how little of that is of nile (especially of nile not being dressed in a ranchy arabic dancers outfit, he's 14-15, what the fuck) i decided to create the nile content i want to see, especially after seeing @minccinoocappuccino 's drawings of nile (and kyoya) with fennek fox ears.
i def wanna improve on how i draw him (and also draw some more characters, like my other favourite characters from mfb, yuu, johannes, motti, tithi, etc and of course the rest of team wild fang) and i also wanna draw atleast most of the other characters as pseudo furries too
Hello there-
After gaia shattered masamunes shield during the rebellion war, he was defenseless and open to attacks. Everyone took this chance to end the war by combining their strongest elemental attacks together, including queen honedge who cast a spell on the attack at the last second. This spell would turn masamune into a statue marking the end of his tyrannical reign. Masamune would stay in this prison for 6,000 years waiting for the day when he would break free again.
This was a more simple drawing I did for shading practice and I'm actually quite satisfied with the result and how the subtle texture came out
I'm going to do a height chart of all my characters soon but for now I whipped up a quick one just to show how tall masamune is compared to the regular aegislash line.
He is a whopping 8ft 10 from the tip of his blade to the top of his handle. His cape is usually twice as long as his body when it's stretched out.
when masamune transforms his cape into a pair of wings the size of them can vary depending on certain factors. Masamunes wingspan can range anywhere from 16ft to 34ft across, but he will always have passive soaring wings
I made this a few months ago and forgot to post this, however you may have seen it on my header image. I digitalized this so I could do some basic shading practice with one of my main ocs, so that I could prepare for my future projects.
Shading in yellow is hard for me, as it is out of my normal. Fur texture is another one of my struggles, but I'll get used to both over time! I'm really happy with how the wings and eye came out though!
Hopefully the statue will be the next one I work on since I really like it
Hope y’all enjoy!
since this new project will take a while, I think it would be a decent time to show you guys just how far I've come over the years, where I started from and why i like aegislashso much! :D
When I was younger I wasnt that big into pokemon like I am today. I wouldn't even get fully into pokemon until 2014 when I met honedge for the first time. I instantly loved honedge and Honedge basically set the foundation for my pokemon collection, my ocs, my lore and pretty much everything pokemon related. It even made me start collecting my own swords!
After I found and evolved my first honedge I instantly went to work making a character for myself which would be my very first pokemon oc! His name was king gargoyle and he may look a bit familiar but I'll get into that later
This is King gargoyles original design (right) with his son named prince aegislash (left)
This design would exist for a few weeks until I had revised the design and turned it into the image you see below. This design would last for a few months and it was one of my favorites
I actually made so much art with this design that I spent hours sorting through all of it xD
This design is still pretty good in my opinion but there is one i liked even better than this one and it would turn into what you see today.
This better design wouldnt exist until I had decided to experiment with new things and ideas and im actually disappointed that i didnt do this a lot sooner. Nonetheless, this design eventually evolved into king gargoyles second to last design which looked like this. Pretty familiar right?
Over time I had forgotten everything about him so I decided to give him a new name and backstory. This is still one of my favorite designs to this day.
And here he is now in the present, the design you're all familiar with. He came a long way from where he started from and he is one of my oldest ocs to still exist and be used today. Masamune may not be the best or most perfect oc out there but to me, Masamune holds a special place in my heart and I love him.
My other ocs have had slight changes to them over the years but mostly they've stayed the same. Who knows, maybe someday I'll change them too but right now I'm happy with them so they'll stay the same for now.
The honedge line has done a lot for me by simply existing, without them I may have never even gotten into pokemon like I am today. And yes, I did annoy my friends to death talking endlessly about how cool aegislash was but they still tolerated me xD
Well I think it would be a decent idea to end this post off with the one who Kickstarted my love for pokemon so meet my buddy :D
I have been busy lately so I don't have that much art to show yall. However in my spare time i decided to update masamunes statue design!
I will hopefully be digitizing the statue later on but I'm dreading the stone texture because it will be a pain to do. I still have to change a few things and draw the other wing but it's pretty much done!
I have something big planned for later but it's still in the idea stage so it will take some time. However I am only going to say that the project will shed light on why masamune hates queen honedge so much! 😉
Have two incorrect quotes as a bonus!
I did some incorrect quotes for my sword babies! These are fun so I'll definitely be doing more of them in the near future!
I tried to get these as accurate to their personalities as I could so I hope you enjoy :D
