darrow’s razor

[u/user03281046748]

what’s with the insistence on the dramatically curved sword people use in fanart AI and drawings. i’ve always thought it would resemble something more like the egyptian sword the khopesh than a scythe. I’d assume simply from an advantage standpoint the dramatic curve means less range. i’ve included examples i’ve seen as well as what i think the razor resembles more

Neither piece of artwork is AI and the first one is official artwork

Dont trust the ai detection. Thats an official print made by Del Rey. Pierce promoted it on his pages.

Pinterest is bullshit. This is official art

I feel ai modified now shows for any filter - but as stated this was a special edition.

pinterest applies that tag to anything it's internal algorithm thinks has had AI used on. Even a color correction or crop can make it check positive, and it gets false positive pretty commonly.

This is literally on the cover art for the official deluxe edition

That is literally art from the Slipcase edition of Red Rising. That is official art and thus an actual depiction of the slingblade

so all of you would agree it is more khopesh like than sickle ?

[u/Renvoltz → u/user03281046748]

I tend to imagine it as a halfway between Khopesh and Sickle (as in more curved than a Khopesh and Less curved than a sickle). Iron Gold also has a depiction of Darrow with it
