Look at my swords :>

Obviously, nothing real here...just pencil sketches of a couple video game blades I decided to draw.

Now, the big problem I have is that the company that made my scanner decided not to make an OS X driver. So as my scanner doesn't work (it's at least 6 years old anyway), I had to take digital photos of the actual paper...I don't particularly like the results, but at least you can see them.

Now these images are about 1.1 MB, because they're 640x480 JPEG pictures. Since they're too large to directly place here, I'll only be providing a link to each one.

Spectral Swallow (from Chrono Cross):

Master Sword in Pedestal (from Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

I really need to go bug my dad to get a better scanner. -.-'

Let me just tell you you pics are great. Nothing like them. Keep up the great work.

Excellent. I like the spectral swallow. I used to draw swords all the time, and once upon a time, I could probably have drawn them, however I took art class and now I can't draw worth crap, so those are 10 times better than any swords I can draw right now.

lol I've always been bad with any kind of weaponry >_< you must have a gift, good job with these. sucks that you couldn't use a scanner, it's hard to see some things in 'em >_o I can't tell if there's shading or anything. from what I can tell it looks great though. nice job ^_^

Mike, they are excellent. Very good swords. And I dunno if I'd have loked at them if you hadn't said "look at my swords :>" all the time in ummmm =P, because I don't visit FanArt very often x)

[Kasumi Chan]

Those are really nice sketches, Mike! Especially the first one. I like the texture and shading you used on it. =3 Better than any weapon I could draw. *nodnod*

Oh and I hope you convince your dad to buy a new scanner. ^^

[Crystal Mew]

=D! Those are really cool Mike. I understand about scanners.... blah, we need one too :p
But you did a great job => I like the second one :)

[VirtualPlay]

wow, thanks for the feedback :>

well, I was bored yesterday, and since I'm recently addicted to Golden Sun 2, here is, from my weird imagination, my interpretation of the "Fire Brand" sword from the Golden Sun series.

once again, taken as a photo...touched up slightly this time. 1.1 MB and 640x480

[Crystal Mew]

Ooh, that last sword is pretty cool Mike, :)
like I said on AIM, you're really good :D

[Asilynne]

Nice weaponry! I like the shading and detail on all of them, plus you show the movement of the fire really well. Did I mention the details really good? lol You can tell by looking at those drawings what materials each weapon is made out of, keep up the good work!

[Cheesey]

That Golden Sun sword is excellent as well, all firey o_O Looks painful...

Um, yeah, good work! o.o

[Kasumi Chan]

Yet another great sketch! ^^ I like the firey (sp?) you gave it. Maybe you should try to draw Excalibur sometime. :o
