I think for my next one I'm going to try another character, and do an action that isn't weapon-based, just to mix it up a bit.

I decided to color this one for fun instead of leaving it as a sketch only. I thought the shading would help show off the volume/depth better. I'm really glad I decided to do that - the style of the coloring came out pretty nice!
