Last month was Swordtember and I drew 30 swords for it… but I’m not done yet. So I’m going to try to draw a sword every day for this month too. Who knows if I’ll run the full month, but whenever I’m done the plan is to put together a book of swords and then at some point release the drawings as an incidental stock art pack.
Bloodier is a short sword permanently covered with thick, heavy blood much like a heavy red enamel coating. This is claimed by various people to be the blood of a god, a great hero, a slain king, the lord of thieves, or the eldest of dragons. It is a Short Sword +2 that can use an illusion to disguise the bearer once per day for up to an hour – but the blade must be held and unsheathed and cannot disguise itself.
This sword is based on a request to draw some of the various weapons based on Liz Danforth’s early RPG illustrations – in this case the following illustration from Tunnels & Trolls:
Dyson's Dodecahedron 
Reblogged this on DDOCentral.
I would think Choptober would have room for an axe or three along with swords. Swordtember doesn’t have much flexibility in that regard….
Every non-sword I draw is one less sword for my book of swords.
I love it! Disguised, while carrying a blood-drenched sword!
Massive fan of Liz Danforth and Tunnels and Trolls. That particular combination is responsible for my becoming ‘enchanted’ with RPGs. Now a Dyson-Danforth cross-over! Oh me, oh my!
