Elven axe.
I didn't want to skip the sword day from the inktober prompt list (day 5 I know. I hadn't had time U_U).
That day I said to my self - why a sword? That’s too simple. Too common. Let’s do something else. And I thought of an axe, a dwarven axe cus dwarves are so badass.
But today while making it my head said - a dwarven axe is the standard. Let’s make something different let’s see how an elven axe would look!
And here it is! Hope you guys like it as much as i do
I wasn't sure of adding shadows with ink so I added the shadows with pencil. Just in case I wouldn't like it 😆
The elven runes are intended to mean the axe name - Moon's Edge * Orc Cleaver

Hacha Elfica.
No quería saltarme el día de espada de la lista de inktober (era el día 5 ya sé. Pero no había tenido tiempo U_U).
Ese día me dije a mi mismo -por qué una espada? Eso es muy simple. Muy común. Hagamos otra cosa. Y se me ocurrió hacer un hacha enana. Por qué los enanos son geniales.
Pero mientras lo dibujaba mi cabeza dijo - un hacha enana es lo usual. Hagamos algo distinto. Veamos, como sería un hacha elfica!
Y aquí está! Espero les guste tanto como a mi
No estaba seguro de agregarle sombras con tinta así que se las agregué con lápiz 😆
Las runas elficas dicen el nombre del hacha - Filo de Luna * Mata-Orcos
The melting snow continues to reveal numerous tools left behind by the previous owners. This axe joins a pick, several rakes, shovels, even a perfectly good Ryobi power jigsaw. My dad always told me to care for your tools.
Some Strobist test shots in my new studio a.k.a. my back garden.
Strobist: SB-26 & SB-28. One subject right, one camera left. Both on about 1/8 on a dark day with shutter at 1/250 to take down the ambient.
I setup the light and the camera and handed to my assistant (girlfriend) to point and shoot. She did really well to get some good angles.
This is one of a few I'm trying to go through and pp to get some more intense effects. Started this one more times than I care to think and I think I've just ended up with slightly different efforts of the same shot. Cut my losses and published before I end up with this image burned on the back of my retina.
Nackawic, New Brunswick is the home of the "World's Largest Axe". It was built in 1991 and stands 15 meters (49 ft) high. It is made of stainless steel and is imbedded in a tree stump of concrete that is 10 meters in diameter. Perhaps it is also the "World's Largest Tree Stump"?
A Bronze Plaque on the Axe reads in part: "symbolizes the importance of the forest industry, past, present and future, to the Town of Nackawic and the Province of New Brunswick."
The Town of Nackawic claims to be the Forestry Capital of Canada, although there may be some folks in B.C. that would argue the fact. Here is their web site www.nackawic.com/ where you can read up on the town and see another photo of the AXE from an angle I could not repeat.

The Parable of the Woodsman
Many years ago, a strong, young woodsman applied for work cutting down trees for a logging company. The foreman gave him the job and the first day, the young woodsman cut down ten trees, which is a lot of trees for one day’s work. The foreman was impressed and told the man to keep up the good work.
The next day, the young woodsman cut down nine trees, which is still a good number, so the foreman was still favorably impressed. By the end of the second week, however the young man was only cutting two trees a day, so the foreman called him over for a talk.
“I notice your production has been suffering lately, and I’d like to help you figure out why. Are you swinging the axe as hard as at the beginning of last week?”
“Harder,” he replied.
“Well, are you taking as many swings as before?”
“Twice as many, at least,”
“OK,” the foreman said. “Have you changed your form at all?”
“Not a bit,” the young man replied.
“Well, then, are you keeping your axe as sharp as it was on Monday? The foreman offered.
“Sharpening my axe?” the exasperated woodsman exclaimed. “ I’m far too busy cutting down trees to stop and sharpen my axe.”

High noise due to ISO 800 and underexposure.
Dug out of the the earth, given a mild restoration with a grinder and some oil, reshafted and sharpened. All it needs now is a reason to be used. I understand that it is a mortise axe for cutting joints in wooden beams.
It is 14" long.. Yes I did say 14 inches. That's 35.5cm.

The can was either shot with a 4x5 film camera or a canon 20d, I can't remember, but I'm leaning towards the 4x5 film camera. Admittedly, the tag line is a bit dated now, but oh well. It was then dropped and popped into the gradient background in Photoshop
