I wanted to participate in #Swordtember2025 but I'm actually too tired and busy this month.

In honor of #Swordtember anyway, I made 1 sword!

There's more lore to this. I just gotta make the other 7 I planned to be able to put them all together.

#Swordtember Day 27 - Urban Fantasy
(using @liberiarcano.bsky.social's prompt list)

"Only the chosen one may carry,
The treasured weapon of duality.
A scepter when dormant,
A spell makes it dominant,
For the sword is cast with sorcery."

#Swordtember2025

I gotta review my list of ideas. I think I just keep dumping them there then forget them...

Gonna try to cook up one sword for Swordtember.

It's not a lot but for the spirit of Swordtember... 🙏

There's something I wanna say about doing grad school and sounding ✨ glorious ✨ to most people...

But... it's a personal iceberg. Grad school is just the surface. The depths... mmmmm.....

Usually in cons, I get complimented, "I love your shirt!!!"

But there's also this side of me that's...
"You look like a Grab driver."
"I know... 😅"

I'm getting used to being an exhibitor at events now. Lowkey proud I was able to bring ice and 1L of juice on my last event. 😂

Last Saturday at an event, this kid wouldn't stop yapping about Pokémon, and... it reminded me so much about... me...

It was a fun interaction! 🥺 Too bad I didn't have their fave Pokémon Mudkip in my merch lineup...

It's never...
how are you?
how was the event?

It's always...
how's the sales?

If you ask me who gave me what freebie at egress, I probably can't remember it without my notes.

But, if you ask me who was last at egress on my last 5 events, I can remember them all as clear as day. 😀 (That's because I finished 2nd to last 4/5 of those – whole other can of worms 💀)

In the meantime, check out my latest sword, which I revisited from #Swordtember2023. This was #Swordtember Day 30: Samhain, which I only made recently. 🧵 15/15

All this is making me want to do #Swordtember2025, despite being busy. If I do them, I won't do all 30 of them anymore. I will select just a few then give them lore. 14/15

Here we are today with my latest #artistalley: I still sell my #Swordtember swords in the local #artmarket, but they're not just available as stickers now. They're also in keychain form and slowly being 3D printed (and acrylic painted). 13/15

As a 3D artist though, there's more I can do with my swords... right? That's why I have them 3D printed! I painted a few so far. 12/15

I introduced more designs later on and even expanded a bit into magical weapons. (Imagine #Sceptember...) 11/15

I did not really expect much from the swords because I only did them for #Swordtember and it wasn't really the 3D art I specialized in, but if it's popular, we gotta listen to the audience, right? That's when I turned them into keychains. 10/15

On my 2nd #artistalley, each design was bought at least once. In addition, I made a parol sword for Christmas. 9/15

In 2024, I did not participate in #Swordtember because I was prepping for my first #artistalley the following month. I like how some of my old swords turned out though, so I turned them into stickers. People kept looking at my swords for some reason... 8/15

Fun fact: I drafted all the swords I planned to do at the end of August. Here are the sketched but unmade swords of #Swordtember2023. 7/15

I lasted only until Day 16. The new Pokémon DLC came out that time and distracted me haha! Nevertheless, I'm proud of what I've done for #Swordtember2023. 6/15

In 2023, I decided to try it again, but no pressure if ever I do not finish. I took prompts from different lists depending how I feel about the day's prompt. 5/15

Despite being half a month late, I finished #Swordtember2022! 4/15

When #Swordtember 2022 came around, I remember seeing the prompt lists of Schaffer and Kaminski. I could not decide between the 2, so I ended up merging their prompts. For example, Day 5 was edible × dragon. 3/15

I first discovered #Swordtember in 2021, but I wasn't mentally equipped to complete it then, so I didn't even start, but I kept it at the back of my mind. 2/15

How #Swordtember defined my career and identity as an artist 🧵 1/15

Doodles of different fruits

Placemat doodle at a restaurant.
Mmmm, I love fruits... 😋

I'm hungry...
But that's because I thought having one big meal in the middle of the day was enough...
I'll do it again anyway because I don't have to wash the dishes twice a day. 🤡
