Description
My health is pretty crap at the moment, but I guess the show must go on? Anyway, it might not be a swimsuit illustration, but here's a blade concept. Enjoy.

Let me just say, out of all the sword or blade designs I've ever seen, this one tops them all. There's just the PERFECT balance of simplicity and intricacy, the handle looks so friggin' comfortable I wanna hold it SO BADLY, and the blade itself is so smooth! Your textures are amazing, Aikurisu. My only critique is that the gem in the base looks a little.... out of place. I think it contrasts too much with the earth tones in this piece. Perhaps changing it to orange or orange-yellow would help, if only to slightly match the background and handle?

Hmm, if I drew this at a larger scale the gem would be detailed enough to hopefully settle that feeling you have, but at the time I drew it for a character that has red eyes... so seemed fitting.
Anyhoo, thank you for the kind words and sorry for taking so long at replying.

Don't worry about it dude, I freakin' love this piece. Do whatever you want, the gem thing was just a minor nitpick ^^"

Regular. Kris knives tend to have a more wavy blade.

Feel better! Hope it isn't anything too serious.
LOVE this blade too. *-*

Thank you. ^^ And yeah, I hope I'll feel better soon, too, yet I'll admit it's been a lingering yet inconsistent issue for months...

Have you seen a doctor about it?
Granted, I'm not sure if that'd help since, in my case, my stomach still gets upset for no reason and all tests showed nothing wrong so pff. e_e
But y'never know. ^^

Doctors are like harbingers of doom to me, but I know I've been suffering from depression, hypochondria and anxiety over the years. The latter has really only manifested itself in the last year for reasons I won't list... but let's just say things have been stressful and I feel like I'm out on a limb when I usually keep stuff like this to myself for the most part.
Anyway, those I used to be able to talk to about it all aren't around anymore, are too busy or written me off, so... yeah. Good times.

Ugh, anxiety has only been getting worse for myself too, especially social anxiety which has turned into borderline agoraphobia. I'm not even sure why (though i do have a couple theories but it also feels like they shouldn't affect this much? Not sure if that even makes sense).
You can rant at me if you'd like. I don't mind being the wall friends vent at and on some cases i even seem to be able to help, lol.
I'm probably just sounding weird now. -w-;

lol, not in the slightest. I'll admit I have no intention of doing that to you, but if you have Skype, AIM or Steam or something, lemme know. It'll be nice to chat.
Strangely enough I don't have social anxiety, but I know my closest friend outside the internet definitely has it. So... I know how crippling it can be.

My Steam should just be NocturnalKitten.
Skype, I'll send in a note. (Just a heads up though, I'm not as talkative as I'd like to be |D)

It's pretty cool, but I hope you feel better soon. Your health is more important.

Yeah, but given how hopeless this year has been for me so far... Pushing myself to draw might be healthy in itself... hopefully.

simple, yet sleek and dangerous; another winner, I say!

Thanks! (Admittedly I may still change the design some, or create an alternate version without the red gem. That one element is still nagging at me...)
