i didn't finish the character sketch with this one because i wanted to post on time lol, you can see her in the corner a little bit. this design is for a sword girl in my sword girl roguelite that i started, and did not get very far in. this sword in particular is the empress character, and the empress is represented with a phoenix in imperial china, so the sword is designed like a phoenix feather.

(the other characters are a foxgirl general and snakegirl doctor/pharmacist/harmacist)
