The weapon I never wanted to finish. The weapon I have hated to look at, even though I quite like it. If I didn't then I wouldn't be sharing. I've drawn many things that looked far better in my head than what ended up on paper, but this was one of the few that just worked immediately.
Reassemble
Saturday, October 12, 2013
Phil Coulson's death in The Avengers was a beautifully-done, shocking moment, and cemented it as one of my favorite movies. It might seem a little cruel then that I drew a knife, since Phil was stabbed, but this is how I commemorate. This is how I contribute.
North Star
Thursday, October 3, 2013
Unlike most of the blades I've posted, I don't have a story for North Star. It wasn't inspired by a TV series, movie, or life event. I was finished with it in maybe an hour. It just came together very quickly, which was great because most of them take quite a while. I even came up with the name in a few seconds. But when it came time to turn it
Brave New World
Sunday, June 9, 2013
Woohoo, it's finished! At least on paper and digitally. This is my second knife for Almost Human, a new JJ Abrams show premiering in November on Fox. Yes, I am already a fan. Why? Because it was created by Joel Wyman, a showrunner and writer for Fringe, an all-time favorite. In fact, the name Brave New World is in tribute to it, not to Aldous Hu
Stalker
Sunday, June 2, 2013
Well, I finished this one a whole lot faster than the last. This one doesn't have a pattern. Didn't feel it needed one right now. Of course I could change my mind at any point, especially if I ever make this into a real weapon. As for the name, I was going to call it Silence or Silencer, then I remembered I already have In Silentio. "So, hmm, Red
Talon
Thursday, May 30, 2013
Wow, it's been a really long time since my last weapon. Things just kept getting in the way, like work, movies and blogging about them (Iron Man 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness last week), and family. Usually I can get one done in a week and a half even with distractions, but this one had all those little lines. They weren't hard. They were just
Blur
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
I was supposed to finish and upload Talon, but I just had to get this one done. It's inspired by a new show, Human (now Almost Human) that's currently filming or recently finished filming its pilot; not sure which since there's been little information for weeks. Why would I bother? Because Joel Wyman, executive producer of Fringe is running the s
Raptor
Saturday, March 16, 2013
Yes, Raptor. That's all I could come up with. For some reason I didn't think to ask someone with help on that last week. No interesting or even narcolepsy-inducing story about this one. I wish there was, because it's always easier to name then. If you can come up with anything good, please share.

With the Darkness Fed
Monday, March 11, 2013
Strangely, this one uploads blurry to Photobucket, while all others have been fine. I don't have any idea why.
For no other reason than that I heard the Gladiator theme last night, and I was looking around the living room today for inspiration and immediately came upon the latest issue of Maximum PC, I named this knife Maximus. Quick and easy.
Szerszeń
Saturday, February 23, 2013
I finished Szerszeń today...again. Happy birthday to me!
This curved staff never had a name. Many of my weapons don't. It was inspired by nothing, commemorated no events. I already had The Nameless One, which I then entered into a contest and renamed Ruber Mors, so I couldn't use that. It went for five years without a name, but
Defiance
Saturday, February 16, 2013
Why Defiance? Though I didn't realize it at the time, I actually got the name a few months ago while I was reading Stephen King's 11/22/63. It came from a beautifully-written passage that ended with, "A universe of horror and loss surrounding a single lighted stage where mortals dance in defiance of the dark." One day when I was looking at this it
Corrosion
Sunday, January 27, 2013
Corrosion was not supposed to be my next weapon. I completely finished a blade, a trident named Defiance, when I realized I really should draw a handle for it. The original was unfinished, because I couldn't come up with something fitting and moved on. Again, I had no ideas, so I started his one instead. That's why it looks like I took a few weeks
Lyssa, the Widow
Saturday, January 5, 2013
Spider-Bat, Spider-Bat. Does whatever a Spider-Bat does.
I finished Lyssa days ago, but I've been too wrapped up in editing a post about Fringe that I've been working on for the last year. I have to take some time for this, though, because the other won't be done until at least the 18th, the last day of Fringe's finale. And I promised it months
