A man adorned in flowers and a gauntlet on one hand, resting on a stone wall. His arm is propped up on a longsword, and the weapon is pinned down in the middle of a crown on the ground. He is surrounded by flower bushes and other vegetation.

The staff pick for TrueRef's September Draw This! challenge is @zenturion.bsky.social 🤩

I'll be in your DMs soon to get your prize set up!

It was hard to choose! See all the other (incredible!) entries: #TrueRefDT008

Wanted to use this this as an opportunity to practice shading metallic surfaces

#TrueRefDT008

A knight sitting on a stonewall, leaning on his two handed sword. His look is in the distant and he is surrounded by moss, ivy and some sun rays shine through the treetop behind him. Beside him is a stone with a carving and some indecipherable letters.

I started something just for myself recently.
It's supposed to be #swordtember but I do it in my own pace :)
@trueref.bsky.social was so kind to offer the perfect draw this reference and so I combined the theme 'moss' and #TrueRefDT008

Hitting that TrueRef challenge again! ( #TrueRefDT008 )
Not entering as a formal contestant this time but I still wanted to participate cause I had a lot of fun with the last one. (Also I got a little hit of inspiration.)

Figure drawing study and hand studies of man leaning on a huge sword, seated awkwardly on a huge white box table. He is just wearing boxers.

#TrueRefDT008
Finally managed to finally do a figure study since getting covid...

Wanted to practice pencil so ended up doing #TrueRefDT008. As well as reusing the pose for another quick one.

#TrueRefDT008 Trying to do multi layer rendering... still practicing these skills, but I think it turned out pretty well.

A digital painting of a forest clearing, in the center a brown skinned bald man in a golden circlet and plate armor half-sits on a tree stump, his right leg laid on the stump and his left left stuck out behind him for balance, his arms are crossed and leaning on a massive greatsword. He looks towards the viewer with a look of boredom or disdain.

The bored princeling. Trying to get more comfortable with lush leafy backgrounds! #TrueRefDT008

I saw this reference photo, and it was impossible NOT to paint Thakon in that pose.

A man sits on a raised column and leans on a sword with a long hilt and guard. A bird stands on one side of the hilt. He wears a short chest plate with extremely baggy pants under a half robe.

Im not entirely sure what i drew tonight, but it was fun. I used @trueref.bsky.social #truerefDT008 and an old Versace magazine ad for reference. #art #myart #wip #drawing

guy who draws on their own technical schematics for fun 🤖
(getting stabbed with a sword was also their fault btw)

my entry for #TrueRefDT008 (ok technically only the first one; the second one is improv)

thank you @trueref.bsky.social for helping me beat art block this month 🙏

Posting it covered to see if I still get flagged and also prove a point that this is not remotely close to sexually explicit 🙃

Digital drawing of my comic oc Zinn nude, halfway sitting on a stone pillar situation leaning on a very large sword under sun rays through leaves. Zinn is a pale skinned, dark haired halfelf covered in scars.

Practicing some rendering and give you some artistic nudity to protest the whole censorship thing wrapped up into one little drawing

Just Dance fanart

Phéa Nox from #JustDance game for September's @trueref.bsky.social contest #truerefdt008

I saw this pose and this design and I had to try ☺️

Destruction in human form, it's your boy, GUZMAAA!

(Bit of practise mimicking the official Pokémon style for #TrueRefDT008 )

digital illustration of my oc Sasha. He is standkng over the body of a cockatrice he hunted and killed succesfully. The sun is going up and he glares exhausted into the rays that reach him. He and the body of the monster are covered in blood. In the background you can see the mountains.

cn gore / blood
Sasha finished his hunt successfully. :>

aka i got inspired by #TrueRefDT008

A digital drawing of Hornet Silksong sitting on top of a huge skull and leaning on her needle. The needle pierces the eye socket of the skull.

Did a little Hornet drawing for September's @trueref.bsky.social contest #truerefdt008

What? You expect me to see a pose with great sword and NOT draw Eunice in it?

Drawn with pencil on paper, a knight leaning on a sword next to an ivy colored fountain in front of a mountain

I'm not much of an artist, but I decided to try my hand at it. Still struggling with faces, but here's a work de-stress sketch with pencil.

My first attemt in taking a part in #TrueRefDT008 challenge by @trueref.bsky.social
When I saw the reference I immediately thought about "The Black Knight"! So here's Sonic and Caliburn

#sonicthehedgehog #sonicandtheblackknight #sonic

Elven woman with dark, wavy hair is seated and leaning against a great blade with some runic markings going down the center. Behind her is a art nouveau inspired background frame, with "Arilyn Moonblade" written on it.

Ok so Arilyn doesn't use a great blade like this (she uses a long sword, but not THIS long) but I couldn't help myself when I saw the reference prompt.

Love mah girl (who, for some reason, in the wiki images they give her straight hair, why?).

#TrueRefDT008

A conflicted-looking guard sits on a crate as he leans on the cross-guard of his massive claymore. He is wearing dark leather and chainmail, without a helmet. Brass details glimmer on his belt and sword.

"Second Thoughts"

Made some #vintagestory fanart for #TrueRefDT008 monthly contest. Loved that this month's ref was appropriately themed for #swordtember

And YES, I'm still shoving my characters into anything and everything and nobody can stop me!
