Day 5 of 2020 Inktoberfest.

Inktober 2020Inktober is nigh! This group is for all ink work (traditional or digital) all year around, but October is the big one for most of us. Group members are encouraged to draw anything you want as often or as little as you want. This is all about growing as an artist so don't pressure yourself. You are not held to any prompt list or any schedule, but if you want to use one here is the official list or for people protesting against Jake Parker, Hellypse made a list that is the opposite of each item from his list. Thanks to everyone for being members and sharing your work with the group. 2020 Inktober folders will be opening right before October 1st to account for time zones. Considering the mass amount of submissions the group gets it will be on auto accept and multiple folders will be open. Please only submit to the secondary folders when the prior ones get full. If anyone is interested in creating journals to showcase some member work for each day dm me and I will grant you journal permissions. Thanks everyone. Happy inking. ,,,
Today's words from both lists are 'Feather' and 'Blade.'
I remember thinking back where I heard the two words before. Then it hit me. The game Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and the weapon the Feather Sword. A sword is a type of blade so it counts.; D

The main protagonist of the game is Hector. For those who know the Netflix series more; Hector is the closest in appearance to his gaming counterpart. Far more so than his rival Isaac.
The series also explored how a Devil Forgemaster is of valuable service to Dracula's army: primarily in raising the dead.
Yet this is where the series and game greatly differ. Hector in Curse of Darkness demonstrates two abilities the series did not show: the ability to hatch and raise Familiars (almost like Pokemon.) And the other is gathering materials to create weapons, armor and other interesting objects.

Of particular note is unique weapons Hector can create. Even things so unearthly and bizarre as a laser sword, Death's scythe and even an electric guitar. (Keep in mind this takes place during the late 1400's.)
For this Inktober I present Hector wielding one of the weapons of his forging: The Feather Sword. It is a weapon apparently so light it is light as feather.....but it is no less deadly.
And Hector is a very accomplished swordsman and a master in other fighting arts such as the polearm and even the fist.
Something the series DEFINITELY didn't follow up on. What have they done to my boy being whipped about and seduced by some bitchy vampires? :P
This must be setting the stage for his future revenge; as Curse of Darkness was the sequel to Dracula's Curse which the series is based on.
Although I don't wholly trust Netflix these days. They cancelled Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Not even Castlevania can have me forgive them for this offense.

Hector and Castlevania are properties of Konami
