LOVE your swords 💖
do you do other pixel art outside of swordtember?
Thank you so very much! You're wonderfully encouraging (and a big reason why I realized I should be posting them more frequently here).
Aside from Swordtember, I don't usually do much in the way of art. I definitely do make little things here and there, but my creative inspirations generally tend to be pretty far between. I'm not someone with ten thousand ideas constantly clamoring to be realized- just the occasional inspiration now and then. As my header says, I spend most of my time enjoying the content of others, while more infrequently making my own. Swordtember just happens to fall into a particular niche (cool weapon design) that has always made my creative wheels spin, so it's a prompt that I really enjoy doing year after year.
But, as thanks for asking, here's a little tome animation I whipped up a while back!

[ Category: The Promised Land ]
| So while her mother is busy trying to fit into the world of the Promised Land, because I can never find a way to make my OCs work out the way I intend for them; Here's Karmen in her new purpose!.... And also actually has a place that fits well; Of course she is Caligo and Asim's daughter, and is in fact a mix of the two's origins. While having some of her father's Fae attributes, while having mostly of her mother's Witch blood... Although whether or not she's more powerful than her traumatised mama.. That's a question for another time!
.. Anyways, cuz I have now made it a tradition, I draw Karmen in her refs always at her 17 years old glory, cuz kids and babies are hard to draw- Also cuz that's when her badassery begins lol..
Name: Karmen
Height: 5ft "2"
Species: Nocturnal Elf / However by the family tribe she is officially considered "Fae" despite physical evidence of her born as mixed race
Extra:
She grows up and becomes a mechanic at the age of 17, she started becoming invested in technology and such when she was 3; Overtime is became a passion, hence why she is capable of making small contraptions out of scraps. Her biggest project (which takes her to the age of 25, roughly an 8 year time span) when she randomly comes across a long abandoned assassin bot who appeared to have been built by the Deceitful before being discarded
She's very much a daddy's girl since Asim has spoiled her silly when she was young, although not blaming her mother for being the one who is on edge however; Karmen would always protect her mother, even when she was just a toddler. Her parents (Asim mostly) would tell her the sad stories and upbringing especially of Caligo, hence why she became protective of her mother figure at such a young age
She was given a spear by the tribe elder when she was 10, a special heirloom that was passed down from the "Sights of the Future" tribe; Although Asim decided to personally smith twin swords for her in hopes she'd pick up on his fighting style so to train her well, Karmen genuinely isn't a fan of dual wielding blades. Watching her be so natural with the spear however, inspires Caligo to try spear training themselves
Since the tribe mostly consists of travellers who had left their "nest" to search for other places of safety away from threats, Karmen always finds a way to "surf" down slopes whether rocky, snowy, sandy and whatnot; ... So she constructed herself a shield that can swiftly slide on almost any terrain. It's rumoured that she used her witch abilities she got from her mother to make it "magical", however Asim jokingly likes to claim it's the magic of the Fae
She can be an awkward and clumsy mess, she's prone to having tantrums like her mother, however since Caligo is technically still young in a sense, Karmen is more of a saint when it comes to them. Mother can act out BADLY, not their intentions however
Calls the tribe elder "grampi" since Asim practically refers to him as "grandfather", so she's kind of picked up on that too but more childish
She trains herself so she can eventually take over the tribe from her father one day, however since it's still Asim's turn next to replace the elder once they leave the world of living, she'll have to wait some more.. Which isn't much of a problem for her, she's a very patient person surprisingly
Hearing Caligo speak of their older sister sometimes, Karmen during moments where she's not being supervised has tried on a few occasions to look out for her (Katsumi), however hearing rumours of a "bounty hunter" appearing more frequently within recent activity, she's nervous.. Yet she has some theories on who that could be
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
I believe that's all I have for her new purpose for now, I need to really re-sort Caligo and Katsumi's re-purposing as well but for some reason I am really struggling on trying to fit them into this weird puzzle as is so they might not be shown off or be appearing anytime soon yet til I find something that could eventually work out
Also I've just noticed, since I tend to colour scheme a lot of my posts...
WHERE THE FUCK IS YELLOW?! THEY GOT RID OF THE COLOUR YELLOW!! WHY!?!? THAT WAS A NICE YELLOW TUMBLR WHY'D YOU GET RID OF IT!?!?!?!
That sucks balls!!.... But at least I can copy-paste the text even the colour font on other posts, it just sucks now cuz now I won't actually be able to use it for future characters refs!... And I still have yellow-mainly themed OCs that I've still yet to re-design... This sucks now it's even more limited than what it was.. Especially with this AI bullshit scandal they too decided to jump on the waste of time bandwagon for...
fuck the Internet it's just a scummy cesspool of bullshit, lies, hate and corrupted companies and rich shits ruining the lives of every day working class....
Fuck you!!
... Anyways- Yeah I have name for the tribe now, "Sights of the Future", although very much blind to what the future will bring... They look onwards and either embrace or adapt to whatever happens to them... And I will NOT be doing the same! I look onward to the future and all I see is black, humans are devolving, they have adapted only so far and now they are moving backwards like the cesspool of lies and deceit they are..
