Blackrazor

This is one of the sprites I created for the art test for a job at a video game studio. I had to draw a sword at low resolution, and I jumped at the chance to draw a weapon we've been using in my D&D 4e campaign.

This is Blackrazor, a magic evil intelligent sword from Dungeons & Dragons that eats souls.  Blackrazor is likely insipired by Stormbringer from the Elric books by Michael Moorcock.  Blue Öyster Cult made a song about it, "Black Blade."

I think I went a little crazy with the jagged edges and lightning. Blackrazor just took control of my mind and forced me to do it.
