Take your iaito if you have one, or bokken+saya. There are spare at the dojo.

The seminar will also include a tour of the dojo’s extensive collection of #samurai #swords and equipment. It is the largest collection I’ve seen anywhere, including the Japanese sword museum in San Francisco and an exhibition in London.

Orion © @Navimoons

This was something that I was wanting to make for a while and with that 30th coming up I wanted to do a piece for the two artists that really helped me decide to focus on art. For Context, around 2022 I decided to dedicate myself not towards streaming games but to create artwork instead, it was a combo realization of the dedication to the weekly art as well as seeing the works of Gurepyon and Navimoons (under a different name at the time) and seeing their dedication towards their Original Characters. I knew I wanted to do something and ended up with aa classic teamup! I'm more happy I was able to get all of the details down and to have them close to their styles as I could. Of course I love how the lighting came out and the shadow behind them feels like that cherry on top. I do hope Gurepyon and Navi likes, these and thank them both for inspiring me to go deeper into the art world.

Orion and Gure looking confident as they have their swords out ready to team up together. The background being an almost glass-like flooring with the skybox being a blue space-like look.

Anyone know #swords and have a good recommendation on books to read to get a foundation?

I'm most interested in European swords, Celtic swords in particular.

@overholt @Axomamma @dougiec3 This is the same way I feel about restored antique edged weapons. Leave them alone. Many artifacts have outstanding metal decoration using techniques such as filigree, repoussé, inlay, onlay, etching, and so forth. The artifacts get damaged, or dented and suffer other effects over time. If you repair an edge on a blade that took battle damage, you lose part of the history — the story — of the object.
