Desolation Complete

Before I go to bed I should get this up, because I was a bit forgetful today. I've been working on Desolation for far too long. I need to share. This was created around the same time as Despair, and the names are from a line in a Muse song. They're releasing a new album next week, by the way. Yeah, I know the background is a bit boring, but is that really what you came for? The weapon itself is the important part. And after obsessing over the teensy details, I could not give myself more work. Plus, the incredible Fringe season premiere was tonight and then I had to watch Haven, so I was a bit busy.

Original: October 30, 2007.

Desolation and Despair

Inspired in an indirect way by David Tennant. I was searching for Doctor Who fan videos back in 2007 because I was newly obsessed with this man of incredible talent. I came across one set to Muse's "Map of the Problematique." I had never heard of the band or the song before. I knew a little while later, after I drew these weapons, that they had to be named after lyrics in this song.

I really wanted to do the pair at the same time, but it will take at least another two weeks to finish Desolation. I haven't even started it yet, and life tends to get in the way, so it will probably be longer than that.

Originals, drawn in 2007

Okay, what will I choose for my second actual weapon post? There are many. Well, I've only uploaded one notebook to Photobucket so far. Hmm...I think this one.

I wonder how this will look after my vector app gets a hold of it.

Finally Starting Something

My second post is nearly two years later than my first. Wow, that was a long break, and I didn't even look for a good template (done now, though). I blame Twitter and my other blog for taking every last free second of my time that I wasn't playing games, watching TV, drawing weapons, or doing laundry. Actually, I can also blame Fringe, because I've been working on a post about it for approximately forever. Yes, 8 months is forever.

Anyway, this was going to be a blog about edged weapons I drool over with my own designs sprinkled in. It will probably mostly be a showcase for me now, since there are only so many hours in the day. A couple years ago I scanned all of my then current weapons into my computer and never did anything more than that, but lately I've been turning them into vector drawings on my iPad. It's taken more than a month just to do three of them, so I'm going to post the originals before the sparkly new versions are complete. But I'm going to start with the ones I've already posted on Reinbeast.

There are actually three versions of this one, but it's just slightly different coloring.
