WIP - Magic Sword concept (Patreon)

This idea is still very much in the early stages, but I’m tinkering around with it. I want to create a character that’s a sort of cursed swordswoman, the wielder of an ancient sword that turns her more and more monstrous as she uses it.

With this design there were a couple ideas I wanted to convey. First, this thing is basically a giant slab of bronze that no normal human being could ever effectively use. Second, that the blade is an ancient beat up artifact that has been mounted into a modern hilt. This character is still a part of my modern setting, so I wanted to highlight the strong contrasts between old and new.
