Description
!UPDATE! I thought swirling blue "godknowswhat" seemed a little creepy, so I made the water look a little bit more like water, by making it transparent.I thought in my "P.Jackson - Weapon of Choice" artwork, the weapons looked a little small and the stone wall seemed to be more emphasized than them. So I thought I would redraw(well more like make bigger with a better background). And because Percy is the son of the sea god, I thought I'd make water swirl around riptide. I tried to make it look realistic, as in without lineart, but it just looked funny.

Pope of Weird: Now then, all of you will convert to Weirdonian, those who don't, will be obliterated!
Chiron: But you can't kill us!
Me: Why not?
Chiron: ...It's against the law!
Me: Pfft, yeah, next thing your going to tell me is that it's illegal to park on yellow lines!
Chiron: ...It is...
Me: ...What?
Captain Planet: OH NO!
Me: Oh that does it, screw the law! Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to steal a car, a boat AND the bishop of Canterbury! I'm going to put the bishop in the car, fill the car with cocaine, put the car on the boat and smuggle it across the border!

*later*
Bishop of Canterbury: *in a car with the Pope Of Weird* Help! What's going on?
Pope Of Weird: Shut it, Bishop!
Bishop of Canterbury: Why should I?
Pope Of Weird? Because I'm the pope!
Bishop: ...No your not!
Pope Of Weird: I am where I come from! Anyway, bring in the cocaine!
Captain Planet: *starts filling car with cocaine*
Bishop: ...Isn't this stuff illegal?
Pope Of Weird: Yes, why?
Bishop: Well...won't you get arrested if it's in your car?
Pope Of Weird: Don't worry, it's not even MY car!
Bishop: Eh?
Pope Of Weird: Yeah, my car got towed away because it was parked on yellow lines, so I stole this one! *drives car onto boat*
Bishop: Are we going somewhere?
Pope Of Weird: Only across the border, hopefully they won't notice this boat is stolen too...
Bishop: WHAT?
Pope Of Weird: I had my own boat, but it suffered the same fate as the car! Would you believe it? They starter putting yellow lines in the harbour too!
Captain Planet: Erm, your grace, we have a problem...
Pope Of Weird: What now?
Captain Planet: SEAGULS!
Pope Of Weird: QUICK! STOP THEM! *grabs AK-47...starts shooting seagulls*
Captain Planet: *grabs shotgun* Frattata...*BANG*...is not...*BANG*...A VERB! *bang*
Bishop: Why are you shooting seagulls?
Pope Of Weird: WE MUST LEAVE NO WITNESSES! NOW SHUT UP AND SHOOT SOMETHING! *give Bishop a handgun*
Bishop: But...why are we doing this?

*at the boarder*
Policeman: I'm afraid we can't let you through just yet, we've had reports that this boat is stolen
Me: I see...
Policeman: We'd like to search the boat
Me: Erm...No...
Policeman: why not?
Captain Planet: It smells really, really bad!
Policeman: ...What?
Me: Yes, see! The boat is filled with all these dead seagulls, we could have thrown them out, but that would be polluting the ocean!
Policeman: ...What killed these birds, exactly?
Me: ...Erm...
Captain Planet: Er...
Bishop Of Canterbury: Nuclear rays! Yes! we were fishing near a nuclear power plant, the seagulls ate the fish, died and not the boat is infected with nuclear waste...and stuff
Me: Yeah! And that's why we can't let you on!
Policeman: I see, well this changes everything! Your taking the boat to be disposed of?
Me: ...That depends...it IS Sunday, after all! They might not be open
Policeman: Good point...
Me: ...
Bishop of Canterbury: ...
Captain Planet: ...FRATTATA! *punches policeman...knocks him out...drags him into boat* GO! GO! GO!
Me: *drives boat through boarder*

Oh yeah, I kinda thought they looked like that too, but they were supposed to be fish fins/flippers; because Percy is the son of the Sea God and all.

Once again, I love your shading and texture. And as that serious studier of weaponry, I thought I just make a little side note on the proportions of the hilt to the blade: the hilt of your sword is slightly too thick and slightly too long to look precisely right in terms of proportion in relation to the blade. Also, the tip of the blade, where it juts out to become wider than the rest of the blade, is impractical for thrusting moves. Most Greek swords were uniformly wide the length of the blade with a tip shaped like a triangle (whose base was the same width as the rest of the sword). And just a little nitpicking: Greek swords did not have crossguards.
But as I said before, your coloring, shading, and texturing is incredible. And I totally got that it was swirls of water.

Thanks, but I really thought riptide would be more of a "slice n' dice" kinda sword. But otherwise I guess you're right.
But anyway, you study weapons? Because that's just so cool.
I think one of my more Greekish swords is Nico di Angelo's sword from my other artwork, which should be called "P.Jackson Weapon of Choice", because I did base it of a roman gladius, which is close enough to a short sword.

yeah, I study weapons, in particular European medieval weapons, but I've touched on Greek and Roman swords at least. The sword I know best is the medieval longsword, also known as a hand-and-half sword and a bastard sword. I'm not too into anything past late medieval/early renaissance. I loathe rapiers and fencing foils. I design swords too, though I haven't posted any of my most recent sword designs. Here's one I designed after the book Brisingr by Paolini: [link]
