"Morikoru Seregond" by Michael A Rasmussen

Morikoru Seregond is my evil Middle-earth role-play character.
I have a whole backstory, which I can share with you if you ask.
Basically he's the victim of tragedy and bitterness.
He's come to adopt an 'only the strong survive' mentality that makes him heartless.
He doesn't talk much, and basically the only joy he finds is in battle--the thrill of taking life.
The sword he uses is long and thin, and the most dangerous part is the tip.  He uses wide arcing slices, moslty.  It can be a two-handed sword, but he usually uses one hand.  It has no sheath--which is how he likes it.  I really had fun designing it, too--simple and elegant.  ^_^  As another bonus, it's designed to allow blood to flow off the blade, so it doesn't stain.
And, for Tolkien fans, Morikoru Seregond is an Avari elf from the far far east, way beyond Rhûn.
Morikoru is taken from the old Sindarin roots for 'dark' and 'cunning'.  Seregond means "blood of stone;" the people of Rhûn gave him the name upon witnessing how thoroughly heartless and remorseless he was in battle.

As to the drawing of it, I didn't spend much time on the dead folks--half on purpose.  It kind of points to the main character when he's better drawn.  :P  I figured the dead guys are from his latest village slaughter, or something.
I actually drew it with a mechanical pencil.  ^_^
and I used a computer program to make the contrast good, do a bit of cleanup to get the smudges out, and give it a touch of tint.
