When working on concept art, this is a great mindset to have, imagine if you're working on a concept, after finishing.. Think of it as level 1, ask yourself how can you evolve it, how can this become lvl 2, and how can it be lvl. 3

The variety of sword shapes throughout history & cultures are amazing, and each has it's own purpose & fighting style. I just picked a few, and don't take the stats too seriously, i made them for fun

Tip 8 ✨
Pommels are an important part of the sword when it comes to design, it can show not only the personality of the sword. But the personality of it's wielder.
For example the wielder can attach tassels or charms.

Tip 7 ✨ Gaurd Variety
The gaurd's duty is to protect the hand, but it also is the essence of the sword, in my opinion the gaurd is where you can go crazy with your design and it still be a believable sword.

Tip 6: Negative Space ✨
A strong design isn’t just the lines you draw… it’s the spaces you don’t.
Use empty areas to make your sword silhouette clearer and more striking.

⚔️ Swordtember Tip #5: Balance of Detail ⚔️
Not every part of a sword needs to compete.
🗡️ Ornate blade → simple hilt.
🗡️ Elaborate guard → clean blade.
Contrast creates focus.
Balance makes a design powerful.

Tip#4 Strong Silhouette
If your sword looks cool in pure black shadow, it will stand out in any scene.
Clear Silhouette = Instant readability

Day 3 of #swordtember, #automaton.. the idea was to make a sword that does everything, even walk by itself

Not getting too technical, but proportion matters.
🗡️ Short hilt + long blade = one-handed speed.
🗡️ Long hilt + balanced blade = two-handed power.
🗡️ Extreme ratios = fantasy flair.
Keep it balanced, keep it believable.

Day 2 Moss ; This came straight from the garden of swords, a place where you plant a blade in the ground, and nature will take its course.

⚔️ Swordtember Tip #2: Form Follows Function ⚔️
A sword’s design should match its purpose.
🗡️ Ornate & flashy? → ceremonial/magical.
🗡️ Balanced & practical? → built for battle.
When in doubt, let the function shape the form.
