Competition: Studying the Latest Find

Finished
Studying the Latest Find

In one your Consul's latest visits out of system, they came across a particular auction house. There were several lots of interest to be considered, but one of the lots in particular seemed to practically project an air of mysticism. Though many of the pieces appear historical or artistic nature, at least one of them is supposedly a piece of old Sith history. At this auction, a trove of antiques were accompanied by several stories such as:

  • Scratched and dented gauntlets that purportedly enabled its bearer to perform great feats of strength
  • A telescoping Phrik staff used to channel and amplify the powers of the dark side of the Force.
  • A Nightsister crystal ball allows the user to see into the future
  • A blade that draws Force powers from those that it cuts

Rules:

You can pick any of the above or depict an artifact of your own creation that is the true gem of the collection, instead of an object of inflated legend or fantasy that proves to be a real find despite the attempted deception of the auction house. DISCLAIMER: If you choose to use a artifact of your own design, please give a small description of it with your submission.

Design and create your artwork hand-drawn, or digital, using ANY medium you desire (Paint, sharpened colored pencils, computer AI etc. ). DISCLAIMER: If you use AI, tweak it to make it your own and state those details within your submission.

Entries will be graded based on the Herald's Grading Rubric.

Submissions should be made through the site, in the formats of: .png, .jpg., or .gif.

Grading:

Grading will be done using the standard Herald graphics rubric with emphasis based on the creativity and originality of the artwork.

This is meant to be "a blade that draws Force powers from those that it cuts". Never said it had to be sword-shaped.
