the formidable pirate hunter, roronoa zoro.
usually drawing these things don't take long, but this time it's the DETAILS on zoro's swords that took a shitload of time. i can't imagine having to draw the details over and over and over when making the manga. props to oda and his staff.
the sword at the bottom that zoro is holding is the YUKIBASHIRI. thin, sharp blade that can cut swiftly thru stone. smooth, black hilt and sheath, without any pattern on them. two golden round clips on the sheath and one on the hilt. then somekind of a circle insignia right in the middle of the hilt.
sword in the middle is the WADOU ICHIMONJI. this is the legendary sword from kuina's dojo that zoro inherited after kuina died. wadou ichimonji has been zoro's sword since the first time he took off on a quest to be the greatest swordsman. during the fight with mihawk, his two other accompanying swords broke into pieces, but this one stays unscathed. this sword has white sheath, also with no pattern. the hilt has exactly 10 diamond-shaped pins that hold the cloth that wraps the hilt. the design wasn't that intricate, but it's a lovely sword. this sword is the one zoro holds in his mouth.
the last sword at the top of the others is the SANDAI KITETSU. a cursed sword whose owners always die a horrible death. zoro tested the curse of the sword against his luck, and his luck won. the cross-wrappings are red-colored, while the middle part is wrapped in gold metal. the end of the hilt has quite an interesting design that i noticed while drawing. the sheath itself is red, designed as if one section is wrapped on top of the other.
will be coloring this tonight. or tomorrow if i'm too lazy.
