Drew a few fun swords for a fun challenge with a friend! 

1) the Blood Vial sword: In order to create its vital blade, the hilt of the sword siphons the blood of the user initally and its maintained by absorbing the blood of the foes it cuts down. Not 'feeding' the vial will force it to take a fatal amount of the vital fluid from the holder.

2) the Moon's Shadow: this swords blade is a shadow casted by the moon crystal present at the hilt. It is as sharp as any blade and best used in lit up areas. Stronger the light source, sharper the blade. It rumored the moon crystal was found from a piece of moon rock that fell down onto earth.

3) Dawn's Blade: said to be created from the dying embers from an ancients furnace. The blade was conceived under the Dawn's light, imbuing it with power.

4) friendly sword: A sword conceived from the a warriors dying wishes to continue fighting, mending their bones together to form a sword powered by their soul. Keep your new skeleton friend happy and they shall aid you with immense power. Or anger it or disrespect it, it shall take your soul and add it to the sword.

5) the Insightful Blade: the swords hilt is a cage harboring an all seeing eyes of an ancient eldritch beast that was slain by a sorcerer. Now it aids in giving you tiny specks of vision into the future that predicts a foes moves or intentions. However it doesn't guarantee it will show the enemies future only. Smaller eyes hover around it, like children swarming to a mother.

6) just a simple blade: A rude thief used this dagger to break a lock, and lost his arm appropriately. This small blade hides a small and frightened eldritch creature separated from its summoner.

Sure grandpa let’s get you to bed

Thought it would be fun to make a band design outfit for princess daisy , pauline, princess peach, and rosalina

Here’s all of the codes together! I’ll probably post more in the future since I still have space from the update. Enjoy!

another note to self, designed by me.

🌟Gaara & Lee in different outfits! 🌟

Edit: Some Context for the outfits

Nude

They’re in their 20s in these images.

I wanted to show Lee’s scars a little more prominently. They’re a mix of graph scars (from treatment for his left limbs) as well as cuts and bruises closer to his fists. 

Gaara is skinny but has a tummy. He doesn’t work out.

Everyday

I usually draw them wearing non-canon clothes because both boys’ style peaked when they were teenagers (not a fan of the clothes from the Blank Period nor Boruto-era).

Lee finds tights of the same material as the one Gai gave him but in different colors. Not a fan of the leg warmers so I made shin guards. Lee asked Tenten to make them for him, as they contain heavier weights. Each plank is removable and can even be transformed into nunchaku like in the Crescent Moon movie.

I wanted to draw Gaara in a harness. I don’t need to explain myself. I also like the idea of extra straps in case he needs to carry larger items. They flow in the wind. It’s cute. I also had him wear lighter color pants instead of his usual black because I’m personally a fan of red with gray rather than red with black lol.

Color Swap

They’re wearing each other’s colors—pretty self-explanatory.

I like Lee’s color combo a lot! I also gave him a skirt-pouch-thing to change the silhouette up a bit.

Gaara will still occasionally carry the larger gourd, depending on the situation. He’s wearing toeless babouches (they can’t be normal closed-toe shoes) (this is Naruto). 

Lounge

BRINGING BACK THE CANON PINK CROP TOP! KING ROCK LEE, AN ICON!! His style, if not Chinese-esque, is very 80’s so I gave him 80’s short shorts. He’s wearing the original leg warmers Gai gave him because they’re something of a comforting item.

Gaara is wearing a kaftan. He looks more like an everyday Sunan, no longer in combat clothes.

Formal

I gave the shirt Lee wore to Naruto’s wedding a little more flair by adding an embroidered dragon (one on each sleeve). His hair is pulled back because. Sexy.

Gaara’s hair is a bit more tamed down, but still has some flyaways. It will never be subdued. I’ve been putting him in various earrings for previous outfits but chose to give him one single long one here. I originally had WAY more but they would look like they’re dragging his face down so just one. One edgy earring.

I thought of putting Gaara in a more traditional outfit worn for special occasions by people IRL who live in deserts, but research is tough and also… I don’t want to appropriate any culture by not knowing enough/anything. I want to know more though! I just don’t know any in-depth websites. So! Instead, I (Vietnamese-American) had him wear a Vietnamese Long Bào, a bright yellow robe worn by emperors. I modified some things like sleeve length and took away dragon patterns for ones more fluid-looking, like sand dunes or the wind. Again, toeless shoes because this is Naruto. I also didn’t give him a hat/crown because I’m personally not a fan lmaooooo. I got all of this info from a bilingual (Viet & English) book called Weaving a Realm. I don’t know if it’s available online, the last time I checked was a year ago. I had my aunt mail a copy to me lol

Summer

Ice cream-colored clothes for Lee! And athletic tape, because this is my one chance to show him wearing them and also I like the lines They Look Cool. The outfit’s obviously based, again, on the Crescent Moon movie.

I gave Gaara more flow-y pants and took forever trying to think up a shirt. I also gave him a boat-neck collar to show his collarbones… Lee is sweating. Also! The earrings come back! This was a pretty plain outfit so I gave him three dangling earrings for a bit of pizzazz. It’s again, only on one side because I like to think he’s That Edgy Kid but also to counter the visual weight of the gourd.

Beach

Let’s go to the beach, beach…

BIG POOL FLOATY FOR LEE!! I gave him a striped tank top as a reminiscent design to the striped unitard in the Crescent Moon movie’s ending, but inevitably had him wear swim trunks based on what he wore in Shippuden’s tenth ending.

Again, going on with the tenth ending’s design, I modified the design so it’d look more dynamic.

Desert

They’re both wearing Sunan flak jackets because the material is more suitable for desert missions than other village’s jackets. They also have shoe gaiters and shemagh scarves to cover their head and face. Both are wearing more subdued colors to blend a little more in with the environment. 

Lee has goggles to protect his eyes but Gaara’s sand armor has that covered for him. So why does Gaara still wear the scarf? Hair in his eyes… Can’t see shit…

Snowstorm

I don’t like the plain canon winter cloak design so I gave Lee something more sporty, like a hoodie, and Gaara something more… Grandma chic. There is cute plant embroidery on it! I’d like to think that he asked one of the women in his life to get him a winter cloak since he doesn’t know shit about the cold (clothes from the Five Kage Summit arc did not make sense, those are now un-canonized). I’m thinking Temari, Matsuri, or Shijima. Most likely Shijima. I’d like to think she likes fucking with the kazekage as subtly as possible so she got him something cute. She knows Gaara won’t have a care in the world nor understand the inherent cuteness of plant embroidery. Other people will know and if someone dares say something, she hopes to be there when they get a Stern Cold Look from Gaara. She’s… a little evil and I love that.

Boruto-Era

Lee’s ill-fitting onesie and Gaara’s haircut were hate crimes to the LGBT+ community.

I cut Lee’s onesie into two and gave the vest some padding by his ribs. He no longer wears a headband since Ino invited everyone to get a Konoha leaf tattoo with her. Only Kiba, Tenten, and Lee came along. Naruto also came but he also still wears his headband along with the tattoo. Also, can you tell he’s put on a little more muscle?

I gave Gaara a modified Aó Dài, as I’ve done this entire time, and kept it long so the length is similar to the canon double-breasted jacket that I hate. Gaara also has painted nails! They’re just red but if I’d made a zoom-in of his hands and feet, the nail polish is visibly smeared and obviously done by a child...It was Shinki. He wants to work on his hand-coordination to finely and minutely control puppets like Kankuro so Gaara lets him do this. Everyone in the world thinks it’s adorable.

Ability & Village Swap

Drawing skinny Rock Lee and manlet Gaara felt wrong. It felt wrong.

Lee keeps his style before meeting Gai, the frog-clasp shirt and braided hair. His personality, deep inside, is still the same. He’s still serious, hardworking, and kind. This is not to say that one’s environment does not affect one’s personality and core being, because it does! But to keep them still /them/, it’s important to keep these traits. This is fiction, I can do what I want, but if you asked me these uhhh sociological (?) questions outside of this context, I’d reply differently.

Baki, Kankuro, and Temari are still the same in their respective villages, as are Gai, Neji, and Tenten.

Gaara kept the haircut he had during the canon Chunin Exams arc. He still wears the spandex (under his jacket and pants) and leg warmers Gai got for him, but he dyed them black. Both Gaara and Lee’s sense of style is still the same. I don’t think Gaara would blindly follow and recreate everything Gai does, like canon!Lee does. He can’t do ninjutsu nor genjutsu and is very grateful for Gai’s teachings and encouragement, but Gaara’s not as… obsessive as Lee. Canon!Lee is something else.

Modern AU

I made Lee’s leg weights based more on actual leg weights. He still has cuts on his hands that he’s not shy about their appearance, but he hates it when people ask about them because he doesn’t want others to worry.

Gaara still fits into his pants that were handed to him down from Kankuro in middle school, his chicken legs never changing. He’s still a little bit punk, never growing out of it, hence his shoes and earrings. He wears a fine red peacoat to say “HEY LOOK I’M NORMAL, SEE??” And if you don’t know the story behind his choker, you can check my previous posts or stay blissfully oblivious.

Thanks for reading all or part of this! I had a lot of fun writing my thoughts down. I also did not read anything over to make sure for any errors lmao...

These are not my designs, but ones I came across whilst browsing and feel more people need to see.

Rejected Greg Smallwood’s Midnight Sons pitch (2017)

My interest in Midnight Sons came from my work on Moon Knight. I really dug the idea of Moon Knight on a team and the Midnight Sons seemed like the most obvious choice, i've always loved the darker characters at Marvel, but a lot of them have receded into the background since their heyday in the '90s. With a lot of '90s nostalgia coming back in a big way, i thought now would be a perfect time to bring these heroes back together, but in a contemporary style. Johnny Blaze is essentially the heart and soul of the story I developed, but each of the characters is given their moment to shine.

There are a lot of folks at Marvel who are interested in the project, but it's a logistical nightmare for editors, a variety of issues at play - continuity, character availability, scheduling, marketability - make movement on the project difficult. But the folks at Marvel have been hugely supportive of the concept and i know they're doing what they can to make it happen. ~ Greg Smallwood
