Yoooo! I’ve been wanting to draw some AsoBaro for awhile now, so here’s my take on the “Swords” prompt for @asobaroweek
Bonus points if ya know which anime reference I got inspo from!
After five years of prosecuting, Barok van Zieks is about to retire. He can no longer bear the burden of so many deaths under his name. Just then, a mysterious enigma appears, exposing the organization responsible for the Reaper Killings. Barok will get to the bottom of this and find the answers behind this masked man, even if it means turning to Herlock Sholmes for help.

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
went from bowstaff as a kid to spear or another polearm
i still like the shaft length for reach and double edged attack frequency but having a blade on one or both ends definitely helps
However if we’re talking weapons for self defense instead of for open battle, then my answer changed from a sword to a reinforced kyteshield made from modern materials.
Shoutouts to the YouTube channel Shadiversity for convincing me on how useful shields are, even in this day and age.
I mean just look at what riot gear looks like and now try to tell me shields and armor aren’t a thing anymore.
You can’t?
Thought so!
I’m slowly working on my tarot deck, and I wanted to share 4 sketches from each Suit
