For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Day Thirty - Freeform: The Final Sword

Nothing too complex. Just a fine-looking sword.

No reference, no plan going into it.

And with this, I've completed my goal of making a sword every day of September. :) Not an official Swordtember I guess, but I'm so happy I did this, and I learned a ton!

Day Twenty-Nine - Freeform: "Elemental Sword"

Penultimate day, and I had time, so I made a very busy sword. I had no plans before today for what I'd do, and I didn't have reference, so I just played through until the sword was done.

I'm pretty satisfied with where my whims took me!

Day Twenty-Eight - Request: Fiery Dragon Sword

The Fiery Dragon Sword from Guild Wars

Had to go with GW1 over 2 because I can't handle that level of detail yet. And the dragon head was already a stretch! Not to mention dipping back into particles (it's been a bit)

Not perfect, but good and fun!

Day Twenty-Seven: Energy Sword

The Energy Sword from Halo: Combat Evolved

Needed another sword that'd be fairly straightforward (busy, busy day), but trying to replicate an older style and play around with the shader was satisfying! We animating again, too!

Swords do come in all shapes and sizes.

Day Twenty-Six: Chronicle Sword

The Chronicle Sword from Dark Cloud

While I planned on doing this one from the start, and hoped to take some time to learn how to properly unwrap and paint the texture... I didn't do that! And it's way off in places.

But MAN was it an interesting (fun) one to make!

Day Twenty-Five - Prompt: "Water-Blade"

This idea was one I already wanted to make before it was requested.

In a recurring theme of things that I did that I make it difficult to notice, the blade-water is animated. I also sculpted the shell-guard!

Needed a relatively quick one for the days ahead!

Day Twenty-Four - Request: The Buster Sword

As if it needs introduction: the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII.

Something I did my best to do justice, but you can hardly see the etching with how I rendered it (the part that easily took me the longest, haha)

But hey! Well worth the effort!

Day Twenty-Three - Theme: Future

But maybe it also went magic?

While I normally like working on blades, I wanted the blade to be simpler this time around, with more focus on the hilt from what I learned working on other swords, and an attempt to make it more mechanical.

Freeform is fun.

Day Twenty-Two - Theme: Clock

I'm proud of parts of this, but alas, I feel that I lost to it.

Something something about time and fools.

This was a good lesson in global vs local transformation and rotation, along with asymmetrical components.

Also. Time.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

Day Twenty-One: Tuna Knife

It's amazing how much easier this is getting. :)

Like yeah, this one was "simple" today. But I've gotten a lot better at determining my approach. I barely needed to look at the reference. And the shaders were quick and easy.

Glad I've stuck with it so far!

Day Twenty - Request: "Scissor Blade from Kill la Kill"

A lovely day with friends, and an Undertale stream to cap it off. I'm honestly not sure how I managed to keep focusing long enough to make this tonight. We can say Determination, but. You know? Sure. We'll go with that. And friendship.

Tired.

Day Nineteen - Theme: "Crystal"

Started with what I knew about working with booleans to carve some crystals, then played with emissive, transmissive shaders, and phew! Something that I'm proud of, and it didn't take too long to make, either!

Maybe I'll need to study crystal formations next time!

Day Eighteen: Broken Straight Sword

Like from Dark Souls.

Some days need to be a bit easier. At least, thinking, "hey, I don't have a ton of time for something complex" sometimes results in a lot of focus on small details and shader experimentation anyway!

Went overboard on bump mapping, haha.

Day Seventeen: Razor Sword

The Razor Sword from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

I remember seeing a standee or something as a kid for Majora's Mask before the game was available, and being in awe of the art. The sword Link had was so cool!
Still is, it turns out. Even if it had limited uses.
