Cold Steel’s Plastic Parrying Dagger.
I got this as a cheap loaner. I haven’t used this, yet, but Cold Steel’s plastic seems to be able to stand up to a lot.
It has some flex, but is still pretty stiff; Stiffer, than kind, in the thrust.
The guard is pretty chunky, as expected. I am not a big fan of how the quillons branch out laterally to the flat of the blade. I would have at least liked an s-shaped guard.
The part I like least about it is the handle. In addition to it being thick, the texture doesn’t make sense to me.

Yeah alcohol’s cool but have you ever waltzed with your enemy in their masquerade ball, their face inches away from yours and their arms wrapped around you tightly? Me neither, pass the bottle
What is your OC’s preferred weapon?
When social distancing means you can’t stab at your friends with swords so you end up using a needle to do all the stabbing instead. lol ️
It’s kind of crazy to think over a hundred pairs of bracers went out of the shop this year alone; all hand punched, stitched, and dyed by yours truly. ^^
As always a huge thank you to everyone who visited the shop, and for your wonderful comments and feedback. ❤️
I can’t wait to show you the new items coming next month!!

“Five of daggers”
Back to experimenting with some traditional media
I love the illustrations that come with tarot cards. I know the five of daggers doesn’t exist, just inspired by ;)
new claws
I’m so angry all the time… How former abused children manage to be grown-ups ? How do they deal with all the rage ?
I listen to that kind of music that soothes me but I still feel like I wanna cry all the time ?
okay new social experiment reblog and put in the tags what kind of weapon you were convinced you were meant to wield when you were younger and what it changed to later. for me it was a bow and arrow to metal gauntlets
Why yes I have been liking, as well as creating, a sizeable amount of posts regarding being pinned to walls, pirates, swords and daggers, however I remain comforted by the imagined scenarios and fantasies that have no possibility of ever happening in today’s world. So I think I win here.
Stomping Boots:
These deceptively fashionable boots sport steel-backed soles, two inch hobnails, and a solid lead heel. Perfect for dancing when your partner is particularly agile, or you just don’t like them.
Stiletto Heels:
These highly fashionable shoes sport a twelve inch stiletto concealed in the heel.
Pom-Pom Shoes:
These festive shoes come in seven different cheery colors and are topped off by a colorful pom-pom on the toe. Along with a three inch rust nail.
Glass Slippers:
Cold and uncomfortable, but nonetheless eye-catching. Useful as a bludgeon or as bait.
Boots of Ass Kicking:
Originally invented by a farmer with a particularly stubborn donkey. Perfect if you need to get an ass in gear.
IntroducingUrsa,of the elusive Triton people!
Ursa an agender Monk/Assassin (she/them) who uses a mixture of material arts, poison, and stealth to kill or disable her targets. She is a light-hearted mischievous person once you get to know her, but until she feels comfortable with you she pretends to be cold and distant.

Whoa! It’s been a while! I am co-directing a short animation- a full time project- so character commissions take waaaay longer nowadays. Maybe I should post some work soon regarding said animation project…

A commission I finished a while ago! For Flash.
It’s been a while since I updated my art galleries.
I ruined my wrists working 24/7 and now I have to take huuuge breaks from work from time to time. So yeah! Don’t forget to exercise and have regular breaks from drawing at least once in a few hours!
