Then his fellow kings and him enter the room Hajime has dreaded for months. He doesn’t really know what he expected. Maybe a torture chamber with a thousand eyes painted onto the walls and the constant, hellish echo of people laughing at him, but the council chamber is just another, circular room, decorated with noble curtains and golden trinkets. ~ All the King‘s Blades, Chapter 2 - Challenge

Finally finished some art that I started mid February—was originally intended to be an attempt at more realistic hair but while this was collecting dust I got a rather radical cut, rendering this kinda obsolete, so now it's just a shading and bit of a design experiment)

ABOUT THAT SUMMER PRINTED BOOK!!!

Hi! if you follow me, you probably know my iwaoi comic "About taht summer"

I was asked if I wanted t print it so...I ask you to fill out this form ONLY IF you are actually interested in purchasing the printed version of ATS. I need the real number of people who are really interested in order to see if that's possible.

Based on the number of fill-ins of the "interest check form" made on Twt, the cost of a 260-page book will be about 25 to 30€ (I have to check if it can be printed).If not, I can consider the option of printing two 130-page books for 15€ each excluding shipping costs.

The musician turns away to set his lute down, and then holds his hands out again. “Can’t you hear the music? Dance with me.” “Why…?” “Because,” he says. “We might die tomorrow. So let’s dance tonight.”

More Info on the Designs and some overall head canons below the cut:

Bit of background & Info: - Karasuno's religion is centered around the figure of death or more specifically the Angel of Death: Azrael - Their dead are burned to allow their spirits to be free and return to the flow of energy within the earth - Traitors or criminals are typically executed and/or drowned, then thrown into a river in opposition to being burned, so that they will be trapped in this realm and never find elevation - this way it is believed the flow within the earth will be cleansed by keeping the bad elements from returning - Thus they do not have graves, all tough little memorials can be build for the deceased - typically by using their weapon as a marker (if they were a warrior or died in battle) - Kings are always remembered through "Blade and Crown" - both are taken to the temple, the most sacred place in the country  - the temple is a deeply spiritual place and only crowned members of the royal family are allowed into the central sanctum, where the crowns and blades of former kings rest - it is also considered the place where the Angel of Death resides  - this also means that there is no universal crown, every prince or princess receives a unique one upon coronation/confirmation - Princes/Princesses must be confirmed (usually around the age of 10/12, latest at their grand debut) and are crowned in a special ceremony, most times followed by public celebrations - before they are crowned, they are considered royalty but are not subject to royal privileges and do not hold royal authority

Crow Steel: - one of the rarest metals on the Miyagi continent - traces and low amounts have been found in both Dateko and Wakunan but most reserves lie within Karasuno borders - hence the name  - forging it is a rare skill, almost exclusive to the finest smiths of Karasuno - while otherwise an open country, the crows are very protective over this particular knowledge - Crow Steel needs to be sharpened less often than normal steel and is rumored to be unbreakable (in fact it can be damaged but only under immense force, that humans are usually not capable off) - when forged correctly and cooled, it usually takes a dark blue, blackish color and is famous for its copper reflections - since it is extremely rare in comparison to ordinary steel, it is reserved mostly for the royal family and important figures - while there are trinkets and accessories made from this material, it is mostly used to forge blades - once in a century and only on very special occasions, crow steel products are given to foreigners as a sign of trust - rumors have it, that it combines the arcane qualities of pure iron and silver, hence being able to inflict mortal injuries on beings without corporal form and every other creature that would normally not be harmed by an ordinary blade

Details on Suga's stuff: - his blade, like most royal blades, is forged from crow steel - the sheath is made out of hardened leather and adorned by a metal crow - the sword is engraved with the kanji for crow - with 105 cm (roughly 41.3 inches) it is of medium length - the handle however is longer than average, allowing it to be flexibly handled - this makes him a fast and flexible fighter, but also vulnerable since he can't carry a shield effectively - it also suitable for being thrown like a knife - the form of the blade is rather unusual for Miyagi and leans more into the style that is common in Tokyo and on the island nation of Johzenji - his crown is made from silver and complimented with amber trinkets, hanging from the right side - the second ring is made to resemble a halo, in reference to his nickname "The Indomitable" and "Angel of Death" (he earned this name through his deep connection with the sanctum and for being its official warden)

Details on Daichi's stuff: - his blade too, is made from crow steel and decorated with a crow - he wields a spear with a cross blade, allowing both attack and a solid defense - with its three blades the spear can be used to both cut and stab, so it can be used both as primary weapon and in combination with a shield - in total it measures 185cm (apron. 73.8 inches) and is rather large, especially considering the blade to shaft ratio - it requires strength to wield, due to its unusual focal point, but is still perfectly balanced and considering the size - very light - the wooden shaft has a steel core so it doesn't break - the top is usually protected by a simple, plain leather cover - the crown is made from bronze and simple in its design - it was chosen to visualize his solidity, stability and still respect his common heritage

-> AU Masterpost

((I am currently thinking about making one more mixed sheet featuring Futakuchi and Ushijima but I don't know yet - I feel like I should do the main Tokyo characters too, but somehow I can't get a good picture of their gear other than a few headcanons (maybe I will post just those without any art, don’t know yet)))

More Info on this page below the cut:

Details on Hinata's stuff: - he first had only one crow steel blade that he named "sun" but ever since he met Prince Bokuto of Fukurodani he is training duel wield and has added another identical blade made from normal steel that he engraved "crow" (in refernce to his fathers blade, wich bears the same symbol) - with 60cm (23.6 inch) they are both very short and broader at the tip, in adjustment to his body hight and making up for both offense and defense - the sheaths can either be worn, strapped to his thighs or crossed over his back - his crown is dominated by a sun emblem, in reference to his nickname the "Sun Prince" - the ornament is made from gold and features a large piece of amber surrounded by several tiny tourmalines - the base ring is made from copper, in refernce to his dad and the fact that he too is of common heritage Details on Kageyama's stuff: - he was offered to have a new blade made for him, using crow steel but he choose to keep his Seijoh made blade - in contrast to his brother’s and father’s weapons however the design is kept very simple without any elaborate decorations - with 115cm (aprox 45.2) the longsword's blade is average, the handle however is longer than common, so it can be wielded with both hands comfortably - a gradidierite is inset into the knob and a blue diamond into the heft - the scafford is lined with steel and adorned by an oak tree whichs roots hold two tiny saphires - unlike his sword he choose to get a new crown - it is made from several strings of white gold, silver and steel wrapped around a ring of crow steel and made to resemble roots - they hold a larger tourmaline and a smaler grandidierite

Possible alternate form/redesign of my secondary sona leviathan!? 

Idk, just me toying with making her a bit more feral/lion-like. Apologies for the sloppy quality, I drew this to calm down after my first round of exams and my brain is nothing but mush! Click here for more (and better quality) design-scheenigans.
