I love designing swords. I was asked on this one to create a Celtic inspired sword for a warrior. I derived subtle inspiration from the original Conan movies sword, which I thought was an awesome design as a kid.
Each of the heads represents a dragon.
(I originally drew this in pencil, inked it in India Ink, then did the final coloring in Painter. I only did the formatting in Photoshop. It was originally showcased in one of the Painter annuals by ballistic publishing.)
