Sword - Blog Posts

finished the reference for one of my favorite boys, Koeki Ebony. dnd character, ex-human fighter, transgender extraordinaire........ what a fish he is. dealt 58 damage to a boss we were fighting which was like half her 1st phase and skipped her second (right into third), continues to be wildly above the rest of the party in terms of dps. i love him. he's crazy. could go on about him for hours. probably will sometime....

there's a few doodles in the background and the one of the pipe kinda goes under some of his fins but that's ok. also here are his weapons in full detail, i'm really proud of the sword

i'm also gonna add his inventory to his ref sometime because i'm crazy like that but for now this is what you guys get. :]

i've got a few more arts to post though, so stay tuned for those!

i don't know why but some friends of mine were making computer program ocs/antivirus ocs a long while ago (i just never posted this till now because stupidge) and my brain suddenly started repeating "featureless stag with buster sword featureless stag with buster sword" over and over again in my head without warning so i had to go through with it who do you think i am

Some weapon concept designs for Chaos Born

My take on a Glavenus Greatsword Redesign

Construct 35: Chainsaw, a massive weapon capable of both destroying obstacles and melee combat (Sword + Drill)

Construct 3: A large sword

Orc Mother Outcast

Dude, I think I need your reaction on my sketch...

Aegislash as human like form :D

YOOOOOOOO THAT IS SO COOL! he even has a Lil friend! This is a really neat design for an aegislash knight! :D

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

If you have a sword oc, it is very likely that I have started to study them and make theories or headcannons about them for fun. (Mainly because I literally have nothing better to do with my time than to think about swords.)

So today I am going to share a theory I had about the loveable dork dusk from @elbdot series "el's alolan adventures"

First of all I want to make it perfectly clear that THIS IS NOT CANNON ! its just a simple idea I had when studying the character for fun!

Second of all I just want to point out that I love this huge dork and he's become a regular staple in my life even if ive only been following for literally a month. ( and No I'm not even embarrassed to say I have that really old sailor moon pic as my lock screen because he makes me happy)

and lastly, (THE SINGLE PHOTO IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY AND IT BELONGS TO @elbdot!) it is also from the candy cane song!

Now, with that out of the way let's jump into the headcannon!

So this headcannon is based on a very small detail that is quite easy to glaze over apoun your first glance at dusk. After all he does look fairly normal for an aegislash aside from his blade being a different shape, having 2 points instead of 3. However we're not focusing on the blade, instead we will focus on his shoulders instead!

AND NO I DIDNT STUTTER BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK AT SWORD SHOULDERS! SO BUCKLE UP BUCKAROO WERE IN FOR A RIDE!

One day, as I gaze apoun the bean, I came to notice something that has been a common reoccurring habit that dusk has. Dusk keeps raising his cloth shoulders up into points!

The pointy cloth shoulders are most prominent here in this photo and I've come to notice that dusk mainly does this when he's either, excited, scared or nervous about something.

The height of his shoulders can vary depending on mood too! If dusk is nervous or excited, they will be higher than normal as opposed to him being angry or scared.

Now, we could definitely say it's part of elbdots artstyle, But I believe there may be a more interesting reason behind why he does this 👀

So for those of you that have known or been following elbdots page for a while you will know that dusk has a gifted jacket that he used to wear in the comics or in some other separate art pieces.

Well, I got to thinking about this and noticed that jackets have shoulders and dusk does not put the jacket over his pointy metal shoulders. So if he doesn't put them over the metal shoulders how does he keep it on?

(⬇️ Art by me)

I have an answer for that!

I imagine when dusk was first gifted his jacket by EL, he didn't know how to properly wear it or keep it on at first. This would lead to dusk learning how to wear human clothes so he could wear the jacket propery. Eventually it would lead to him simply positioning his shoulders outwards so that his jacket wouldn't slip off his arms.

So... What if dusk had just been wearing the jacket for so long, that it just became a regular habit over time even when he wasnt wearing it? he doesn't seem to realize that he's even doing it either.

(⬇️ Art by me)

So in conclusion, dusks pointy shoulders may be a simple habit from wearing his jacket! However... I honestly wonder if dusk has ever tried to wear any other types of human clothes besides his jacket, sunglasses and that one sweater. If he has I wonder how he managed to wear them?

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!

Today is the day a new costume releases for the sword boi so naturally

I decided to celebrate 👀

I cannot explain just how much I absolutely LOVE THIS DESIGN OMGG-

ITS SO FANCY AAAAA I LOVE💕-

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 find the new aegislash costume very cute! He looks ready for the beach, or possibly a swimming match!

I tried to copy the artstyle of unite. idk if I pulled it off well enough, but even if it's not perfect I still like it!

These where only supposed to be doodles 😭

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

When sting became an aegislash, he noticed almost instantly that he had giant hands and he instantly loved them.

Sometimes when he isn't at the Cafe or when no one is around he puts them behind his back and pretends he has a pair of wings.

Did some traditional sketches in my small pocket sketchbook! I may digitalize some of them in the future but I'm not sure yet.

And yeah almost all of them are of my favorite boi masamune but I gave sting some spotlight too!

Hello there, allow me to acquaint you with the residents of this kingdom. In this post, you will meet our armory of characters and learn the basics about them.

Masamune

Masamune was once a human who sought out immortality and went to a powerful sorcerer to find an answer. he was simply told that he must die first in order to become immortal because you can't kill what's already dead. this desperate man was promised to get a new form that could withstand the test of time and he agreed. He died and the sorcerer made the mans body transform into a more powerful one, one made of tungsten and gold. He had become the very first aegislash to ever exist

masamune ended up betraying the sorcerer right after his transformation and Stole the emerald that held the sorcerers magical powers in it. The emerald embedded itself into masamunes body and overloaded him with power, this power was so great that it overtook masamunes mind and made him evil.

masamune took over an entire region and built a powerful army in the process, keeping his control for several years. He even beat a legendary guardian of a seaside kingdom (who was a regigigas named gaia) and threw them out for their insolence before making the kingdom his home. He stayed there for those several years until gaia came back with their own army and rallied against masamunes forces. The battle was long but in the end gaia had shattered masamunes shield so he had no way of defending himself and with a final blast from everyones elemental attacks they gave masamune a prison made of stone.

masamunes emerald is now locked away in the old castle and he's still in the stone prison to this day, however if someone got a hold of the emerald and returned it masamune would break free and rule over the land once again.

when at full power he can create powerful spells able to rain down meteors, control fire, defend himself from attacks by creating a barrier and inflict paralyzing fear on his opponents for a short time. He can also shapeshift his cape into a pair of wings to fly. Masamune does not know he can use regular pokemon moves as he relies too much on his magical powers instead. He doesn't even know that he has the ability to control others.

when he looses the emerald on his crown he goes down to at 50% power. This means that his protective barriers are much weaker and can be broken more easily, his attacks do less damage and his fear doesn't paralyze the opponent as much as before

Queen Honedge

Queen honedge used to be masamunes lover back in the day before they became swords. However, when masamune came back to the island kingdom in his new sword body he had expected her to still accept him... but that wasn't the case at all. Queen honedge feared him and what he had turned into so she had rejected him.

After her rejection masamune flew into a rage and killed everyone on the island, stabbing them with their own swords so they all had the same fate... and masamune gave birth to a new species of pokemon called honedge in the process.

Even after her transformation she had still rejected him and cast him out of the kingdom with her own magical powers. Since then she's been living in solitude on the island with her other evolutionary forms and went on to marry nightblood

Nightblood

nightblood was queen honedges personal knight before he died by the sword thousands of years ago by masamunes hand in a mass slaughter. Masamune had ravaged a small island kingdom and killed everyone after being rejected by queen honedge. Nightblood and the others all became honedge not long after the slaughter and they began to learn of their new powers and did their best to live their new lives.

nightblood was the first to evolve into an aegislash and sought out more dusk stones to help the others evolve as well, however queen honedge had decided to stay as her base evolution. He respected her decision but after the slaughter he had changed and never left her side even for a few seconds. The event had traumatized him and he was too scared to loose her again. A few years passed by and nightblood had gone on to marry queen honedge, becoming the new king of the island kingdom where they'd rule together.

nightblood has a claw on each of his hands that can do various things such as paralyze opponents for a short time, cause severe burns, melt metal and can even fire blasts of energy from the tips if he desires. His powers are far more limited than queen homedges or masamunes so he often relies on regular pokemon moves instead.

nightblood can stance change like other aegislash can but he mostly preferrs to use his blade instead of his shield which is why he has so many scars and chips in his blade.

Sting

his journey as an aegislash starts out when he touches a cursed artifact in a museum that transforms him into an aegislash. they escape while being pursued by a group of guards and the museum manager. He is chased by a group of people that want to change him back but when he faces the group of people he attacks them in self defense. He ended up killing everyone except for the manager, who is a magician and they give sting what they want. The manager takes away their human speech and replaces it with pokemon speech, setting them free.

Sting then decides to live their life as an aegislash but eventually gets into a territorial battle with a bisharp one day. Sting wins the battle but sees that the bisharp is actually very weak and malnourished. They decide to help him by giving the bisharp some pinap juice and a place to stay until he got his strength back. When the bisharp left, he spread the word about the good food and pinap juice and Pokémon started to come to the aegislash's home to have some. Due to the good reviews, the aegislash eventually decided to set up a small hut near their home where they could make the food and pinap juice. Making the place into a safe space for people and Pokémon to talk about their problems and just take a load off for a while.

Sting has basic aegislash abilities such as mind control, sensing worthiness/leadership and aegislashs signature ability, stance change.

If you stab someone with a bone/tooth sword, is that just biting by proxy with an accessory?
