Valyrian Steel (Patreon)

I thought since I was doing a large piece that included both these swords that they both needed to have some new details added to them. 

First, I've updated Blackfyre, because I realize the last time I drew it, the blade was too short (mostly for the composition of the drawing it was featured in) but I do think that it was in need of some work. I've added some small details but other than it's length it is not entirely changed.

AND DARK SISTER. I haven't done any concepts for her yet. I'm really happy I had the opportunity to finally get a good look for her down. I had someone question the way I drew Dark Sister in the past so I wanted to clear that up! My main inspiration for Dark Sister has always been the Elvish sword Orcrist from the Hobbit movies, because it's one of my favorite sword designs of all time. I actually really love many of the sword designs for LOTR and the Hobbit, but I especially love the curvaceous shape of many of the Elven blades seen in the movies. It is highly stylized but I thought the curved blade suited many of the people who wielded Dark Sister: Daemon, Bloodraven, and Visenya most of all. 

I have wanted to do two separate series based around these blades of each of their wielders so maybe someday I'll get around to that!
