swordtober continues - I wish I could do one every day, genuinely

[dariabolshikh]

working through my feelings? no, I’m gonna whip out easy-cut lino and make a silly little pomegranate stamp at 1am, thank you very much

back to the swords! 🌙

back to the swords! 🌙

[dariabolshikh]

hello, swordtember!

was really looking forward to this, but since life is hectic I can only hope to complete some of the days ⚔️✨

the first theme is Wings, and the idea was the blade that feeds off the blood - whether it’s from the slain or the one who wields it 🦇🩸

swordtember day two!

vegetation: the idea was to design a sword that cannot be put down, this sort of almost parasitic and predatory form of nature that is not beautiful and terrifying

was literally falling asleep as I finished it, I can clearly see some very obvious mistakes, but oh well

finished, not perfect

started the redraw in 2014, but the first one is actually lost somewhere online

wild to see how much it all fluctuated over the years

a decade later, she still holds her place in my heart 🖤
