Description
The familiar 'shwing' of metal sliced through air, startling her from her thoughts. Something gleamed by her nearly as quickly as the sound registered; with a dull thud, a bladed weapon had lodged itself into the ground by her feet...
Under any other circumstance, Astrid Hofferson would have been turned, poised, and ready to take down anyone who dared to sneak up on her. But the sight of this particular weapon had frozen her. Her eyes locked on the familiar, bolted, wooden handle and the double-edged blade, one end snug into the earth, the other upright and glimmered in the sunlight. Greeting her like a long-lost friend.
She'd know that axe anywhere. It was her axe.
Her hand moved forward, Astrid watched it move as though it weren't even apart of her. Her fingers touched it—the torn wraps of the handle, feeling as stiff as they looked—and a spell of nostalgia waved over, so powerful she could hardly breathe. Her palm slid down the wood, twisting a grip around the handle.
A shock of pain struck her heart when she realized it didn't quite fit right against the creases of her fingers. Not like she remembered it. Her hand was bigger now; they hadn't grown together like they were supposed to—she and her axe.
Her mother's axe.
With that pain came reality, and with reality came realization—realization that she couldn't have one without the other. Her chest felt oddly tight and her lungs empty of air.
Astrid turned.

I did a bunch of wonky perspectives, so it might not make too much sense. But it was fun trying to make a legit comic.
I'm aware that I messed up the axe hardcore. I think when I was doing the first sketch of this I made a mental note to give it another blade...but mental notes are easily misplaced in my brain.
Oh well!
Lazy as always with clothes, but I am a firm believer that less is more. Astrid's prettier in simple clothing. She's on her off time, so no armor. And I didn't feel like drawing any weapons she'd probably be carrying on her...even in her off time.
U leik the older design?
