Self-Inserts and OCs

(Damascus steel, or one of its relatives like wootz or crucible?)

Yes ! (Hello, I can't find a word and it's too special for a dictionary but I can try to explain ^^) I knew someone who was doing that

These look awesome!! I especially love Martti's jacket! Haiz might not be the only one who has to worry about missing clothes now...

You know you'll be seen as "the person who always want to steal the other's clothes", isn't it ?

[Fimbulvarg]

Is the axe... errr... *Had the word in french but only in french* in a special blacksmith technique which imply folding down the metal several times in order to have patterns inside ?

I think it looks more like a Celtic knotwork engraving. Pattern welding in a forge results in a quite random pattern usually without the layered knotwork. Incidentally, the vikings knew how to pattern weld, but they also liked engraving a lot.

... I need to see that in a museum. Or maybe several museums.

here's my art trade with North:

Spoiler: original mucha poster • show

'prince of denmark', that's not too far away from 'king of the north', right?

as if tracing and stealing the background wasn't bad enough, I've also yoinked the axe decoration from... here, apparently. But I think all the tracing I'm doing lately is making me better at digital lineart! so that's exciting even if the proportions end up all weird for some reason

These are looking really cool!

I am posting here with some information about them:

Riika is a Scout, only day scout, night would be deadly dangerous for her and she often wear mask and some glasses if she goes out to the wildness. She has sense if the dangerous is around, like she feels the trolls, beasts or giants, and get away in time, and warn the others if the area needs to be cleansed again.

Martti is a Cleanser, but as a back-up cleanser, he can’t go to the front either, He also wears mask each time he goes to burn the lands, the mask is both against the illness or the smoke. He actually writes down all stuffs that happens around him. he often sits down and write a diary, or sometimes he even writes stories.

I adore the design of these two *w*

[North]

Sorry I was gone for so long, I was on vacation for over two weeks without proper internet ;o;

I finished both my art trades so I figured I would post them both at once. Under spoiler tags because the photos are big.
For North, Martine: I was intrigued by the axes she carries.

Spoiler: show

WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS BEFORE :0 I just completely missed it??? what in the world
This looks super cool!! She looks all ready to cleave some trollbutts, bun and all 

Finally got to the page with this--it's awesome North! Thanks so much--it's much more impressive than you seem to think--I'm pretty jelly of the shading job actually, I can never seem to get my own coloured pencils to do the shading I want q 3q I'll try to get my end o the trade up as soon as I can, I promise TT vTT

shushhhh don't feel bad, there's no need to rush
I'm glad you like it!! I did try my best, even though I am in an eternal struggle with coloured pencils /clutches chest

North (pose was inspired by this - yes that was where I found that other one too)

This looks super cool, I love the pose!! Man, I gotta practise my poses. My sona would totally practise stick-fighting.

Question: Would it be silly to cosplay a Ssssona? Because I just realized I could whip up a closet cosplay really similar to my Ssssona's original outfit in like 2 seconds.

No it wouldn't be; I almost considered doing it for the meetup a couple weeks ago. (minus the coat and flamethrower, of course)
