Kohl #6, Tyrian Purple #19 (Shard-verse)

[silvercat17]

Name: Silvercat17
Story: Shard-verse
Colors: Kohl #6 (eyeshadow), Tyrian Purple #19 (pillar of stones)
Supplies and Styles: charcoal, frame, sketch, minature
Word Count: 100 (it's a perfect drabble! Woo!)
Rating: All-ages
Warnings: CN for implied genocide of humanity and of an alien race, freezing, burning, specieism
Notes: Swordcat is another sorta-multiple character in the Shard-verse. The body really is Leon Smith’s, but it was transformed when he picked up the sword, which has a personality that lives in his head and sometimes steers the body around, because swords don’t have hands. Stomlin Ward keeps the sword in the freezers because then Leon can be a calm, somewhat dim, cat.

Leon dreamt of memories not his own.

Leon wasn’t like its lords before (how long ago? how- its thoughts skittered and it shuddered in the ice). Leon was grey compared to the lords’ passion. That didn’t matter. Glory would be restored, shining cities and green forests. It would be carried again by lords with thundering voices and soft wise words and dazzling eyes matching its own. And then no more coldness, no more loneliness, no more wrong-smelling air – flat, oily like enemies of old – no more furless parodies of people.

No more memories of burning and cold, cold, cold.

OOh, I love this - both the drabble and the art! The drabble is so evocative and great.

I love Swordcat so so much (he might technically count as a crossover because he's heavily influenced by Lion-o from Thundercats). I need to make new art of the sword because it has a cool design... that's a bit hard to draw

...I kinda feel bad for the sword that's possessing him but also nonconsensual possession is not on, my dude. Anyway, the writing in this is incredible.

It wasn't exactly on purpose... But yeah, the sword has serious issues
