The balaraw is a dagger from the southern Philippines, oft-associated with the Mandaya peoples of the upstream, though likely finding use across Visayas. The three-pronged hilt with the exposed tang allows one to wield it similar to a push-dagger.🌙

A winged dagger known as a balaraw.  The blade is shaped like a leaf.  There is no guard on the hilt, and bands of metal hold it together.  The hilt extends downwards into two horns.  Between the horns, the tang of the blade extends outward as a metal spike.

Anyone have experience selling prints on etsy? What's it like out there in terms of difficulty in setting up shop?

A blade of light, from an old Swordtember prompt. Looking back, I think this blade is where my artstyle began to change drastically into what it is today 🌙

A blade of light, with a corroded metal hilt, the pommel of which resembles the head of a squid with two eyes.  The blade is underwater, surrounded by the darkness of the deep.

A play on the Cordilleran axe, with a handle hewn from a pine branch. 🌙

An axe from the Philippine Cordilleras.  The blade is wide, with the top half curved forward such that the edge is shaped like a crescent with the inside facing out and the top edge of the crescent tangent to the top of the axe-head, which in turn is perpendicular to the handle.  The back of the axe-head has a long protrusion on the top, serving as a spike.  The handle is a pine branch, still covered in its bark.  There is a protrusion halfway down the handle, on the same side as the edge,  where an arm of the branch has broken off.  The axe is on a bed of red soil, covered in pine-needles, with a suggestion of spilled and dried blood.

Hello Bluesky! Call me R- 🌙 I'm a Filipino martial artist and mechanical engineer who dabbles in weapon design. I'm new to the platform and eager to get started. Here's hoping my art adds a little excitement to these clear blue skies.

Digital art of a traditional Filipino blade known as a hinalung, somewhat leaf-shaped, with the point down.  The handle and blade are all hewn from the same metal, glowing blue, and the handle is wrapped in rattan.  It is floating against a backdrop of a starry night sky, with the bottom of the panel and the area around the blade covered in white clouds.  Larger stars connected by dim lines surround the blade.  Above the handle is the artist's logo- a stylized crescent moon with a single star next to it, above two walls of cloud, above the sea.

I haven't been very good at updating here, but I have to shout out that I have been drawing weapons for Gubat Banwa! The award-winning, SEAsian fantasy based, tactical martial arts TTRPG launched its Kickstarter recently, and we need all the eyes we can get on this project: bit.ly/GBKickstarter
