Swordtember Day 29+30 - Deadly Sins: Slayer of Sin. A holy sword twisted by infusing the Archdemon of Wrath's soul. Although demonic in appearance, it is the charge of its wielder to hunt down and destroy the other demons of sin. #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 28 - Mystery: Shrouded Relic. Deep within the royal vaults, no living person has ever truly seen the weapon. It could be powerful enough to fell a god, but it could be a simple child's plaything incapable of cutting through warm butter. #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 27 - Grave: Gravetender Wraith Blade. The large, war scythe-like sword often wielded by a Gravetender Wraith, an aggressive spirit found around sites of abandoned dead. #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 26 - Moon: Blue Glass Shotel. A ceremonial curved sword used in worship of the blue glass moon. During this time, the moon is accompanied by an ominous red glow. It is believed that the moon is acting as a guardian from a great celestial evil. #rbswordtember

Swordtember 25 - Generation: Holoblade. Really just inspired by playing a lot of Loveless in BL4 recently. I think her Digistruct claw melee is pretty cool, so I made a sword inspired by it. #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 24 - Sticky: Honeyforged Blade. "Not sure if this is a joke or a failed experiment. The Honey can form a blade, but it's just Honey. Best use case for this is smacking your assailants, running and then hoping there is a hungry bear nearby." #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 23 - Fool: Performer's Blade "The Fool" A common theatre sword given to the role of The Fool. The Dark troupe usually picks an unassuming volunteer for the role. They usually realise they have a fake sword after the executioner's first cut lands. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Swordtember Day 22 - Crystalline: Empress. An Ultra Greatsword made from a large Magic Gem geode. The sword serves no practical purpose, too arcane for Barbarians and too heavy for a mage. This blade serves more as a status symbol for the opulent. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Swordtember Day 21 - Cocoon: Blade Moths' Curse. Blade moths are often a point of debate for sword owners and smiths alike. Most find the blade useless during the maturation period. However, once the moth emerges, the steel is stronger and sharper for it. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Swordtember Day 20 - Junk: Rusted Blade. You searched ancient tombs, chasing rumours of a legendary demonic blade. This isn't the first broken sword you've found. But something about this one feels wrong. #rbswordtember

Swordtember Day 19 - Atom: Iron Sword, really close-up. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Swordtember Day 18 - Tempest: Stormcaller. Wasn't too sure what I was going to do today. But had fun forming some of the curving shapes and getting the tornado effect done. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Swordtember Day 17 - Bramble: Thickets Sting. An enchanted épée that grants its user not only a long-reach thrusting blade but also the ability to control ethereal vines in combat. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Swordtember Day 16 - Leviathan: Leviathan Cultist Cutlass. A spectral cutlass often found in the possession of high-ranking cultists tasked with protecting the domain of the dreaded leviathan. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Swordtember Day 15 - Lost: The Pinnacle. Think today's work is one of my best designs. I just left it over here... at least I thought I did. #rbswordtember

041

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Swordtember Day 14 - Werewolf: Beastbone Blade. Beast Hunters who found themselves short of funds to purchase silver discovered that a beast's claws were just as effective on predator as it was prey, and so these twisted blades of bone and claw came to be. #rbswordtember

010

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Swordtember Day 13 - Flesh: Noble's Downfall. Although not unusual for the Flesh-eater cults to adorn themselves with remains, this particular sword features uncanny lumps of flesh bound to the blade, writing if still alive and screaming in a mouthless agony. #rbswordtember

012

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Swordtember Day 12 - Inversion: Vampire's Vigour. The blade of a Vampire knight, re-engineered to drain the life essence of a foe and produce a potent healing tonic. The Court of Blood think it a perversion of their craft; the Harmacists of this world however. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Swordtember Day 11 - Hunger: The Devourer Blade. The power bound within the ancient blade can make the lowest peasant into an unbeatable conqueror. However, for all the blood you require it to spill, the beast within desires far more to sate its hunger. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Swordtember Day 10 - Fae: The Fae Knight's Rapier. I'll be honest, the sword design was secondary here; my main focus was on cool wing effects more than anything. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A bit late to this, but I really wanted to give the knight a go.

Swordtember Day 9 - Fractal: The Coastal Kopesh. Didn't have a ton of time for this one today, and the concept probably needed more work, but I liked the idea of using the Coastal Paradox as the link to fractals. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Swordtember Day 8 - Oblivion: Threadcutter. "With this strike, you will not just fall but be erased. Your deeds, naught but dust in the wind. You shall not see golden fields nor burning chasms; you will be sentenced to float in the cold emptiness of Oblivion. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Swordtember Day 7 - Wings: The Silverwing. Little is known about this odd relic. Thought to be a remnant of an ancient warrior-avian culture, this blade offers its wielder a colossal slashing edge paired with a near-impenetrable defence. #rbswordtember

083

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Swordtember Day 6 - Noir: The Service Blade. A cane sword fashioned from the scraps of an old revolver. A relic of your better days and probably still the only thing you can trust when out on a case. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Swortember Day 5: Decay - The Pox Hoarders' Cleaver. Blessed by the most wretched of poxes, even the lightest graze from this accursed blade is enough to bring about an excruciating end. #rbswordtember

1103

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Swordtember Day 4: Flock - The Swordbirds Flock. I liked the idea of the sword allowing the wielder a kind of symbiotic relationship with a flock of somewhat Elden Ring-inspired birds. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Swordtember Day 3: Primal - A blade of primal flame. Kept the design relatively simple but decided to have some fun with the presentation this time, opting for a little animation loop. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Swordtember Day 2: Gamble - This one is based on the FGO summoning menu/ Gatcha screen. I had fun with the general idea but didn't really feel all the details or any fun texture ideas. But still a fun creative exercise in the end. #rbswordtember

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Swordtember Day 1: Fan art - I went for the Holy Moonlight Sword from Bloodborne. One of my favourite games, especially for its weapon designs. Not a flawless rendition, but really happy with how it came out. #rbswordtember #Bloodborne

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Been taking a break and playing Zero company for the past couple of days, but got a bit of a pose block out done for my next sculpt.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Did some more practise with Marmoset, made some clay renders of my OC and did a quick, although quite rough, texturing of Zork.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Tried a more stylised render in Marmoset today; the mesh didn't quite work for the stylisation, but I still think it came out kinda interesting. Tried both a version with a blue undertone on the armour and a red one.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I've been wanting to get some experience with some different software recently, so I've started experimenting with texturing and rendering in Marmoset Toolbag. Think these initial renders using my OC bust sculpt came out pretty well.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I don't own a Switch, so it's unlikely I'll end up playing Duskbloods, but I did feel inspired to Zork it a little. #Blender #B3d

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Finished off my Ciel sculpt today; I was only ever doing the top half just to try some techniques out. I'm happy with the result of the sculpt, although painting the eyes could have come out a bit better. #Blender #B3d #FGO

021

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Finished most of the Ciel sculpt for what I planned to do; still some things to clean up and finishing touches to add. But I really like how this has turned out so far.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Refined the base sculpt a little today, but mainly focused on trying a lot of different hair methods again. Think this one has managed to form the cleanest base. How well it will merge together is still the big question.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Mainly planning out my next sculpt today and trying to do the blockout with a lot fewer direct references. I'm only doing the upper body for this, but I think the foundations are pretty solid.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Another practise sculpt, this time of Haqua from Kaminomi. Think the general structure is really solid, even if the expression didn't quite come out how I wanted. The hair is better, but I can't merge it properly without making a mess with this method.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Tried experimenting with some more miniature-style sculpted feathers on my OC's helmet. I think they kind of work, could look better but for a first try, decent enough.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Finished my little sculpt of Artoria Lancer. Think the actual head structure is decent, but still think I need to figure out how to do the hair better.

010

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Decided to start working through a few relatively quick stylised sculpts just to get some practise in. Think the base is pretty solid, but struggling to get the hair right at the moment. I still need to get a good braid shape to work off for the back of the hair.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

A quick sculpt of Edward Kenway from AC IV: Black Flag, think the clothing and some of the details came out pretty good from this short sculpt, but not as happy with the face as I felt I couldn't get it to look right.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

A quick WIP screenshot: the silhouette is solid, but the actual details need a lot of work.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Calling the modelling stage of this project complete. I'm going to let it stew for a bit, just in case, before I move it onto the next stage.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Working on the refinement of the different elements of this sculpt. Decided to keep the details simpler for this one. Really happy with how the helmet has turned out and really liked using the visor design of some Greenwich armour helms.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Retopologised most of the design and added some additional details. Still thinking about how I feel the reinforcement on the shawl that supports the cloak should actually be attached, so things might change as I start adding the sculpted details back in.

000

ErrantArts @errantarts.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Resculpted the chest armour, added the coat, leather shawl, plus a rough blockout to try and redesign the cloak.
