Dragon King – Modern Wakizashi

Dragon King’s Modern Wakizashi is the reimagining of the traditional weapon of the Samurai into a modern self defense blade that utilizes the full suite of modern metallurgy, materials and construction to create a sword that is effective, low maintenance and yet still retains the core of traditional design and elegance of the traditional sword. The differentially-tempered 1566  steel blade features a real hamon line with a copper habaki and seppa.  The tsuka encapsulates the tang in textured G10 and is dual pinned for a secure grip. The silver menuki on the tsuka are shi shi (lion dogs) which are embedded in the handle.  The textured black saya features an olive paracord sageo around a polymer kurikata and kojiri.

The Modern Wakizashi also has the Modern Katana and Tanto available as companion pieces to complete a matched modern warrior collection with these other pieces which are available separately.

Daily sketches: Gouache edition!

Been having working through a lot of good changes, and I got back into traditional painting to keep me grounded. It's so nice to work on small paintings (2.5 x 3.75 in) again, I've been enjoying experimenting and learning how to let myself have fun with the mistakes and imperfections!

Still trying to find my way in working with strong bold colors and fine rendering, at least now I'm finally starting to enjoy the ride 😻

Say hello to "King Caesar", or rather, King Shisa, based off of the mythological Chinese "Lion-Dogs". He is the ancient guardian of the Okinawan Royal Family, he hates evil, loves walks, reflects enemies beams, and is a VERY good boy. https://retrorevelations.blogspot.com/2022/09/godzilla-chronicles-godzilla-vs.html

Have a very silly process of me making some models then proceeding to break one of them!

Moho is super fun! I did figure out the problem, just a huge oversight on my part of binding the correct bones to the correct layer portions

Some interesting information

Did you know that the mythological creature the guardian lion was at first built to look like the dog breed pugs. Back when the creature was first being created it was a rare sight to see a lion in China only royalty had seen them at that time, so the people who were building the statues didn't really know what a lion looked like so they made them look like pugs. I hope this enlightened you in some way, thank you for reading!

Drew this a while back. Figure since I’m back on here, I’d start uploading some stuff here as well. Enjoy!

This Jian features the face and open maw of a Shishi (Lion-Dog) on its guard. Pairs of these lion-like creatures guard shrines and temples with stony vigilance. Similar in concept to the gargoyles of Western cathedrals, the Lion-Dogs prevent wicked spirits from entering sanctified places. This Jian is also heavily ornamented with the Chinese Dragon, a symbol of power and luck. The dragons on this sword are of the 5-toed variety, meaning they are the reserve symbol of the Emperor himself – A fitting ornament for a noble weapon, as the later Jian was a status weapon.

Available to order here.

I made a new oc, WOW

he's nikko!, he might seem like a very intimidating guy, but he is actually quite an energetic and playful fella (although he is a bit stubborn…), he is flynn's best friend and always tries to help him with his problems

if you give them a few mangoes maybe he will love you for life, who knows

this guy lives in his own world…

Have you reviewed Arcanine yet? I know you've done the hisuian form, but how about the regular form?

(Hisuian forms over here and here)

For the record, I do prefer the Hisuian forms for both of these guys. I feel like those forms added a bit more flavor to the line, with the theme being much more obvious and having additional details like Hisuian Growlithe's little bangs. I still like the originals, but the regionals added a lot to this line.

Anyway, that said, OG Growlithe is cute. It's mostly just a canine creature that is very loosely based off of a shisa (lion dog), but beyond that the stripes and wild fur always gave this line a bit of a distinct visual identity despite the relatively subtle theme. The orange color is pleasant and is complimented with additional cream fur, and the black stripes pop nicely.

That said, there are some weird visual quirks going on here—namely, the front paws. Seriously, what on earth is going on there?? It's so weird when it has proper back paws and Arcanine has all four paws as well. The ears are also a bit of a weird shape, something that the Hisuian version fixes.

Arcanine is the more distinct of the two, boasting a giant size (who doesn't want to ride a giant fire-breathing dog, really now), an even wilder mane, and more stripes. I like how it looks pretty strong and almost regal, befitting of the shisa concept. The extra spiky mane is also something rarely seen in modern Pokemon, which prefer smooth, easy-to-model shapes for fur instead.

Visually, I think Arcanine also smooths out some of the weirdness of Growlithe, such as the ear shape and the front paws. The way the head fur connects together to form a giant mane looks more natural than Growlithe's singular head tuft, and extra stripes are always a good thing.

My only visual complaint here is that the stripe patterning starts to feel erratic. The stripes on the legs have a triangular downward motion, while the stripes on the haunches are straight and have a forward motion... and then the stripes in the middle have a triangular shape but a backwards motion. It reduces the flow of the design and feels rather random, compared to picking one shape and direction for the markings and sticking with it. (Hisuian Arcanine does not fix this, but the markings are less noticeable due to the shape of its mane.) Otherwise, I do like it for what it is.

Site note: Arcanine's beta version was known as "wing", because the tufts on its legs were originally shaped like wings. This is why its Japanese name is Windie, why the Pokedex mentions it being able to run really fast, and why Hisuian Arcanine has the wing shape present in its front fur. It was mildly interesting, but it didn't really feel like it connected to Arcanine being a fire-type shisa in any meaningful way. Also, it didn't seem to have stripes in this version, which were a much-needed addition that help break the body up a bit.

Arcanine was also intended to be a legendary Pokemon at this point in development. It does kind of give off that vibe, but it probably makes more sense as just a cool normal Pokemon instead.

Anyway, not the most conceptual Pokemon out there, but still memorable enough and enjoyable in their own right even if the regionals are a little bit more thought out.
