SciFi and Fantasy Art Sword of Air and Darkness by Richard Thomas Lankes aka ´Dirty da Vinci´

On September 12 of this year, I recieved this sword image from Shalini 'SilverWolf' Latchman. Instead of sending her an e-mail to say thank you, I wanted to show my gratitude for such a sweet gift. I will post her image here, for all to see. I think she possesses a great talent, and I am honored she made this blade for me. She is my 'female Luis Royo'...PS: Shalini, with a gift like this, I must return in kind...the next project is going to have a double purpose now...wait and see! By the way, I shouldn't have to say this, but the image is her's, so please, do not copy it without her permission...thank you...

23 Sep 2000	Michael John Morris	Loading... Unusual organic appearance, that's new to me. Looks like something a futuristic warrior would like to handle or maybe a demon.That is why I like Shalini's work. She gives a perspective to metal that is not common. She makes it seem so futuristic or deamonic, like you said. I really think she could be a female Luis Royo...
27 Sep 2000	Bree Patton	Loading... blink DOH! I can't draw weaponry. It always comes out looking like a deformed toothpic..or..something.. runs off to get lessons from ShaliniShe's good, ain't she!
28 Jan 2001	Ricky B. O'Keeffe	Loading... Isn't the Queen Of Air And Darkness a card in Sabacc in Star Wars? Oh well nice pic, I could see more bells and whistles on the handle thoI really wouldn't know. I'd be lying if I were to say yes or no. Sorry. Bells and whistles? Hehehehe. Thanks for the comment, Ricky!
19 May 2001	Rich	Loading... It looks remarkably ah, phallic to me. Interesting picture to send someone. I like the concept, but the handle does seem a bit off, as if it's tilted to the right.I think the asymetrical aspect gives it a specific organic sense to it. I love this sword, and personally, I know I couldn't do any better. Thanks, Shalini, and thank you, Rich, for the visit...
20 Jun 2001	Petter E A Ljungqvist	Loading... I don't want to be rude, but you do faces alot better No offense taken at all, Petter. But you have to consider that I didn't draw this. Shalini did this for me. Personally, I love it. The organic sense of dark in it is marvelous...
25 Jun 2001	Lacey 'Anjel' Swanson Ruby	Loading... O.o I like it.. and while I know you didn't draw it, it's in your gallery.. so I've decided the sword is either female.. or belonging to a random naked female somewhere. ::impish grin::
6 Aug 2002	Eddy	Loading... I am starting a sword collection. The first i am looking for are the elements. I have found earth, and fire. I take it though, that there in not a sword of water as of yet. But what i would like to know is if you have a full immage of the Sword of Air and Darkness. If so could you please send it to my e-male? I would be vary greatful. Peace out to all you boys and girls Eddy
10 Aug 2004	Dave Cripps	Loading... Excuse me Richard just trying to track down eddy. Hmm this sword looks almost insectoid, glowing insect shells and such. Nice.
2 Feb 2006	Bicskei Anna Draconida	Loading... Hmmm,that looks very multi-functional to me...Both ends are good at something...
25 Jan 2008	Saskia H. Suurling	Loading... Nice one, I like the red pieces, it has a nice effect
