Skyrim: Daedric Sword

Hey everyone! I know its been awhile since I've been able to upload any full process pictures, but I've definitely been busy, so hopefully I'll be able to find the time to upload progress pictures of my other projects.

These swords will go along with a Skyrim armor that I'll be wearing to 2015 Comikaze. I'm really happy with how quickly and nicely these swords turned out.

Final Fantasy X: Masumune

I was commissioned to do this sword by someone from Germany (let me just take a second to freak out about that... international!!!) and at first, he wanted Auron's defult sword but as I asked him more about what he wanted, he finally showed me a picture of this beauty.

I have to say, that this sword definitely took a lot of machine-ing and just a lot of manual labor in general. Like with all of my weapons, durability is very important, so when I saw the circular prongs on the side, I knew I had to find a different material. I chose a high quality ply wood and sandwiched the 3 pieces together.

Moonsliver Spear

I wasn't able to finish this last month and upload pictures, but now I'm finally done!

This is a artifact card from Magic the Gathering.... Its funny that I was commissioned to make this weapon because about 2 years ago, I was really wanting to work for Hasbro (who owns MTG) and do illustrations for them. I guess good things come to those how wait haha.

Anyway, this project was a bit more difficult than I originally thought because I wanted to try out some new tools; mainly my plunge router. Drawing with it was... a new experience to say the least, but its definitely a tool I'll be using in the future.

I also love getting commission where theres a size restriction for bigger weapons. Figuring out the mechanics to making these weapons work is super fun. This one breaks down into 3 pieces, cutting shipping prices by a lot.
Pretty sexy if I do say so myself


I looked at a couple different pictures and ended up blending a couple together. It has a whit to black gradient, but is also depicted gold.... so a bit in between looked good
