Urumi

The urumi (curling blade) is a weapon originating from South India, most popular in the North Malabar Coast of the Kerala state.

I've seen it's use in the film Asoka (2001), where it's extremely flexible that it coiled right around Ashoka's body, yet sharp enough to do critical damage.

However, I first came into knowing of this weapon when I watched the trailer for the 2011 Malluwood film Urumi, of which it must play a major role in trying to defeat Vasco da Gama. 

It is a very difficult sword to master and it's only thought to the best, as incorrect use can cause great damage to its wielder. As it appears, it's most useful for multiple attacks.

Hence, I thought the urumi would be an interesting blade to give to Berbatov, who mainly uses sword based attacks with his shashka.

The text written to the left says 'urumi' in its native Malayalam. To the lower right, I also singed my name in Malayalam.

VERMILION -promo 2-

Ahaw, yeah, guys... stuff's going down. VERMILION is still in the works, but not too much info will be revealed until after June 20th, in regards to a possible release date for this pilot.


I am very excited about this one. It kinda feels like I'm shooting a film in my head... :'D


But it's turning out much better than my initial plans.


So... we've already met Xoco Apollo... but we have another new comer. Meet Sabrina! She's a Space Officer too. She actually made her first appearance in this sketch below..

Girls night out.

I have them shades. They be lucky.

That's all for now! Stay tuned!!

Seriously though, it's high freakin' time I drew the 3 Space Hounds together... but lol, it just happened that they're in their human disguises in this... not exactly hounds per say... XD


It actually only started as just drawing of Triggs in human the late night hours. Then it grew into something long overdue.


Though, I'll admit, I'd rather the picture without Berbatov because I haven't drawn him a lot in human so I'm only still trying to hone him. But alas... I couldn't care much now. :C


Could've done Leonie's hair better too, but I guess I didn't want to do too much with this really.
