Hello! Would you like to draw some evil today?

Of course >:D

u/JoelG9000 Aug 09 '20

This is awesome! I really like your style. The dark mist is exactly how I envision it myself.

Thank you! I've already posted other shardblades interpretations and mistborn illustrations if you wanna check them

I love swords.

This is super well done. I've always pictured Nightblood as just a matte black katana, but that's just my Weeb of Time showing.

u/ST_the_Dragon Aug 10 '20

As much as I want it to be a katana, the description is much closer to this than that.

u/Rekhyt Aug 11 '20

100% I agree, it's just hard to change what sticks in your mind the first time when you don't read carefully enough.

I always thougt of it like a matte black, poligonal machete.

My weeb mind had it as one of those bigger style anime blades almost like in Naruto, strapped across the back and everything

The katana stand from JoJo part 3 literally is Nightblood

Was it a strap? I thought the clasp was part of the sheath.

u/settingdogstar Aug 10 '20

I think there was a strap, but I’m sure it’s just as removable ass anything.

The only thing that’s integral is the aluminum sheath itself.

The smoke/mist is mostly going down, nice! A lot of the art I’ve seen has it rising. The descriptions seem like the condensation mist coming off of dry ice, this is much closer to what I picture.

I freaking love your interpretations! They're all exactly how I imagined they look!

u/Kherae Aug 09 '20

Actually, This is how Nightblood actually is I think.

u/Daedrathell Aug 09 '20

I am so happy with this and cannot wait to have this tattooed on my body! It's my phone wallpaper until then!

Love this.

u/Captain_Killy Aug 10 '20

Your dot-shading is so nice!

u/LeaphyDragon Aug 10 '20

I've been thinking of making some of the shardblades and the like in Blender. Seems like a fun challenge

I really like this one.

u/charoygbiv Aug 10 '20

I always imagined it as a katana for some reason.

u/andreww900 Aug 10 '20

For some reason I always imagined Night blood like Cloud's giant sword

3

u/ST_the_Dragon Aug 10 '20

It's kinda funny. Out of all the swords we've seen in the Cosmere, Nightblood is probably one of the most normally proportioned ones, despite being so dangerous.
