#serpent-breath

This is one of the best things that’s ever come into my inbox haha. Would you mind telling me more about how historically inaccurate the sword was? I’m really curious about things like that, since I studied a lot of stuff more from the literature side than the historical side. And by the hot guy, you obviously mean Sihtric? Haha.

No, this is not the most important post that I have announced earlier. I mean, I won't publish that post until I properly got a new account on a different social networking service. It is the bureaucracy's fault that it made me postpone the important post indefinitely due to the high demand in account creations.

However, this artwork is a gift art for a friend I met face-to-face whose username is CatDog (not to be confused with the 1990s animated series) because he turned 25 on 18th of June. He is a fan of the animated short films produced during the golden age of American animation and he enjoys dubbing short films. He is currently interested in Regular Show (an animated series that, in Spain, we call "Historias corrientes", as opposed to Latin America, which refer it as "Un show más" instead).

As my parents began to watch The Last Kingdom, I realized that Uhtred's Castilian Spanish voice actor is the same as the one who dubbed Mordecai. So this is why I drew this.

It took days, yet as the hammering and cooling and heating went on I saw how the four twisted rods of soft iron, which were now all melded into the harder steel, had been smoothed into wondrous patterns, repetitive curling patterns that made flat, smoky wisps in the blade. In some lights you could not see the patterns, but in the dusk, or when, in winter, you breathed on the blade, they showed.

Serpent breath, Brida called the patterns, and I decided to give the sword that name; Serpent-Breath.
