Swordtember Day 11 - Reliquary

Reliquary Blade of St Idlemine of Lionheart

#Swordtemnber #Swordtember2025 #ConceptArt #Art #FantasySword
Sword painted on old looking paper, there it text, it reads: 11. Reliquary Reliquary Blade of St Idlemine of Lionheart In the River Realms, it is common for The Knights of the Bridge to wield great two handed blades such as this reliquary blade. This particular blade, belonging to Lady Ilvine Imnius, a Knight and Sister Votary of the Order of the Bridge and descendant of the Melusind Knight Imnion. Her massive sword in its hilt, is also a reliquary of the remains of St Idlemine of Lionheart. The relic is one of the Saint’s forearm bones - it was lost by the Saint during her famous battle with a great monster that had terrorised the region of Lionheart but recovered by a devout Lirran after the battle. The Knight, Lady Ilvine, strives always to protect the defenceless just as her patron saint was known to do, and has found her calling as a Knight of the Bridge City, protecting its people from the myriad of strange and dangerous creatures and spectres that spew forth from the ancient depths of the abandoned sections of the Greatcity. Reliquary - on old paper, the hilt of a steel sword with art nouveau stylings. the grip of the sword is made of glass, inside the glass is a bone.

Swordtember Day 9! It's also my partner's birthday, so I asked her what the prompt should be. From someone who goes by "Zelda," this should not have been a surprise. :D

Day 9 - Feline

Sword of a Minor Prince of House Llameryn-Leolinius

#Swordtember2025 #Swordtember #ConceptArt #FantasySword
Steel and blue sword painting on old paper. There is text: 9. Feline Sword of a Minor Prince of House Llameryn-Leolinius By the time of his ascension to the Throne of Midnight, the House of the Archking, Lothair II, encompassed a staggering number of members. The vast majority of them, by this time, were only distantly related to the Archking’s immediate family. These minor members of the Archroyal House, despite their nominal status as Princes and Princesses of Midnight, were forced to compete with not only the other Royal and Noble Houses of the River Realms for important positions at Court, but, especially during the reign of Lothair II, with skilled commonfolk. This sword, featuring the Eye of Lir and Lion - the sigil of House Leolinius - belonged to a distant cousin of the Archking. It is crafted not from Brightbrass, but from common steel as the minor Prince it belonged to had no hope of accessing the dwindling stocks of Brightbrass belonging to the Archcrown. A silver steel sword with a blue leather grip. there's an eye shaped pommel with a sapphire for the iris. the hilt of the sword features a lion head that merges into art nouveau scrolling and leaves and flowers on the cross guard.

Day 4 - Scale

Ritual Blade of Xenaxenes, Bull Lord of Northern Ipeiros

Ok ok I know a leiomano is technically a club not a sword but I don't care

#Swordtember #Swordtember2025 #FantasySword #ConceptArt #Scale
On an old page a painting of a sword next to some text. the text reads: 4. Scale Ritual Blade of Xenaxenes, Bull Lord of Northern Ipeiros While the Orks of Prasinos are known for the love of architecture, democracy* and art, the Orks of Ipeiros are known for their love of combat and conquest. Young Ipeiran Orks who vie to become the Bull Lord of their tribe must undertake a ritual test and rite of passage: the contender heads out onto the grassy plains alone and unarmed and must fight and kill the largest Anooros (a powerful, large and territorial creature covered in sharp scales, though it is herbivorous it is one of the most dangerous creatures of the Ipeiran Plains) they can. Once slain, the young warrior must drag the creature’s corpse all the way back to their tribe where its sharp scales are used to create the “blade” of a sword. Wealthier tribes (like that of Xenaxenes) often employ materials like the red Orkish marble for the hilt of these blades, while smaller and less prosperous tribes employ materials like brass and wood for these blades. *The democracy of the Prasinian Orks is a democracy only in name, it long ago devolved into a plutocracy and its economy is supported by rampant slavery - slaves often supplied by the military conquests of the Ipeiran Orks. 4. Scale - on its side a sword where the "blade" is constructed of many sharp spiky scales attached to a stone support with a stone hilt. the stone is red marble with striations. the pommel is decorated with a multi-horned bull and spiral decorations.

Day 3 - Automaton

Blade (and Forearm) of the Ceremonial Automated Guard of Komonech...

#Swordtember #Swordtember2025 #FantasySword
On an old, worn page - a painting of a strange robotic hand holding a sword. There is text, it reads: 3. Automaton Blade (and Forearm) of the Ceremonial Automated Guard of Komonech The ancient automatons of the United Holds of Minervel are so ancient as to be almost useless though they remain at the cyclopean gates that mark the entrance to the realm of the Mountain Folk. The automatons are so old in fact, that the symbols that decorate their ceramic armour reference not only the Mountain King (the patron deity of the United Holds of Minervel *and* the Kingdom of Nevarr) but also the Sky Queen, a Goddess whose worship is all but forbidden amongst the people of the Mountains and is now only worshipped outside of the Mountain Kingdoms by the Hill Folk and the Bellardi Plainsgnomes. 3. Automaton: A gold and ceramic robotic hand holds a gold and steel sword. the ceramic is decorated with red geometric designs. the sword blade also has small tiles of the ceramic that decorate its hilt and blade. red garnets or rubies also embellish the crossguard and pommel of the sowrd. the robotic hand is connected to the sword with what appears to be a telescopic/hydrolic contraption to allow for the blade to change angle in relation to the arm.

Day 2 - Moss

The Sword of St Nehellenia

#Swordtember #Swordtember2025 #FantasySword
Old page with a painting of a sword and some text. The Text Reads: 2. Moss The Sword of St Nehellenia The Lady Nehellenia of the Aedred Island, sister of the Archqueen Consort Nehendra, led a violent rebellion against the Archking and His annexation of her Island home… Though she was unsuccesful, her relationship to the Archqueen Consort spared her from a swift execution. Decades later, in an attempt to subdue a second rebellion on the Island, the Lirran Church of the River Realms would claim she had been a holy warrior who fought not for the freedom of the Aedred Island, but for the faith of the mainland River Realms, and canonised her as a Saint, claiming that she had become a Sister Votary in the newly constructed grand temple to Lir on the Aedred Island. In reality, Nehellian had chosen to live in exile, throwing her famous Brightbrass blade into the sea before disappearing. Rumours abound about her fate, most commonly it is said that she became a powerful Pirate Queen in the faraway lands of the Dragons Teeth… To this day many treasure hunters search the waters around the Aedred Island in hopes of finding her famous sword… on old looking paper background, a painting of a sword hilt, its made of green metal with an art nouveau style. Its covered in underwater mosses and algae but a small carving of a woman's face is visible on the top of the blade.

Its finally September! That means Swordtember has finally begun!

Day 1 - Shell
The House Blade of House Nestrys-Narhalwysel

#Swordtember #Swordtember2025 #FantasySword
An old page with a painting of a green metal sword decorated with shells, mother of pearl and coral. There is text to the right of the sword, it reads: 1. Shell Blade of the House of Nestrys Narhalwysel The Royal House Nestrys-Narhawysel of the Gates. A Coastal and Island Kingdom of the River Realms that has been closely aligned and intertwined with the Archroyals of the River Realms since the marriage of Princess Ophelia Nestrys-Narhawysel to the first Archking, Lothair the Melusind. The blade was in fact forged *for* the Princess Ophelia when she was given the position of Gatekeeper (the River Realms equivalent of a Fleet Admiral) of the fleets of the Gates. The inscription on the blade is of the motto of House Nestrys-Narhawysel styled in ancient Yarerin Elvish and reads: “ren velharim, naha yr mor”. It is translated as “Across the Sea to Victory”. The blade itself is made of Brightbrass, an ancient alloy of brass - the manufacture of which has been lost since the Disruption… The same sword as in the previous image but just the hilt and upper blade. The hilt is decorated with mother of pearl and pearls and florets carved into the green metal that the sword is made of. the pommel is a pinkish purple shell. The crossgaurd is decorated at the tips with purple coral. the upper blade is decorated with oceanic themes and representations of sea grass/algae and another inlaid mother of pearl. Juuuuuuust visible at the top of the fuller is an engraving in a fantastical script.

My friend asked me to whip up a ref sheet for this sword I drew so he could try making a 3D model of it. I love how the sheet looks, and I can't wait to see it in 3D!

A black and white drawing of a fantasy shortsword with gems protruding from the base of the hilt and the ends of the cross guard. There is a front and back view, and a close up and side view of the swirling, organic detailing at the base of the blade.

A high-fantasy sword stands embedded in a moss-covered stone pedestal deep in a glowing forest. The weapon is intricately detailed, with a dark metallic blade etched in glowing green Norse runes from the Elder Futhark, radiating a soft, magical light. Vines curl around the ornate hilt, and the misty, bluish-green woodland background gives the scene an enchanted, sacred aura. Let me know if you'd like a version with Ogham instead, or if you want matching lore or a character to wield it.

Progress from last week on Zbrush!
Looking nice so far. Got the wolf motiffs in but overall I wanted it to look like it's alien.

Now time to sculpt the blade itself ⚔️
