Sword of Elysium

The holy light of the gods now lies in your hands, Hero! Take Elysium, and forever tread the path of good as Melvora's Champion. With this sword, the Harbinger's storm shall be quelled...and Melvora shall carry on...Now go, Hero! The Gods have entrusted you with the Blade forged from there hands...may the blinding light of the gods banish the darkness, and protect you on your journey...

First art piece of 2013! Starting with my Mascot OC, Arturas!
(ARCH-ER-US)

Arturas holds in his hands the sword forged by the gods themselves...the Sword of Elysium! This is the sword that stands at the top of the sacred tomb of Imperia...The Tower of the Gods. Whoever conquers this tower is worthy of being a hero, and may claim the holy sword Elysium, after clearing one final challenge.

This sword shines a never-dimming light that quells evil with every slice. Could this sword truly be more powerful then Genesis itself?

No Particular reason for this one, just a simple Heroes edge picture. Plus more Practice with my shading.

anyway, first art of 2013! May this be the start of more to come!

Arturas/ME.
