Hi everyone~ :D

Here it is, some sketches of Curator Vala's character, Chamine Hamsa, an expert hunter and jack-of-all-trade in term of weaponry.

March Prompt Voting

Hi, this month I'm resuming the prompt voting again~

Also, a...

WIP - Pierce

Since I'm still in the 'insect theme' mood, I decided to pick a random prompt related to insect that I want to make into an item next. So 'Pierce', since next item probably gonna be a weapon, most likely rapier, spear, or pike, based on mosquitoes.

Video - Making of Greedy Gladius

Timelapse for the first sword I made for the 2021 Swordtember, Greedy Gladius.

For the first day, I didn't want to make overly complex shape, so I decided to keep the design closer to the gladius design and only play with the details and effect. Unfortunately I made some mistake for the melting gold effect and made it a bit too close to a honey. I believe the composition for the flowing melting gold made it too gooey which is why it kinda looks more like a honey. I should have made them...
