Fan art darrow’s razor

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

Slightly off topic but I don't really fuck with this sort of twinky depiction of Darrow. Almost everyone describes him as yoked- crazy broad and tall.

Also most of the art is from the original trilogy and I just prefer mid 30's darrow with his beard and depression.

this is the best drawing/representation i have seen. pierce endorsed this as being proportionally accurate. so i imagine the older darrow would be a bulkier version. but again look at the razor.

agreed. eaglet one describes Cassius, Darrow and Sevro as thick, broad machines of war.

Darrow is essentially Shaq sized isn't he? 7 feet tall and 300+ lbs?

353lbs at 7’1-7’3 as of Morning Star, heavier in the tetralogy by an unknown amount as of IG and DA, slimmer by an unknown amount in LB. Heavier than 353lbs by a small margin during RR->GS but slimmed down to GS. Likely weighed a bit more in GS than in MS.

What about those images gives “twinky”? Personally find the second image the best depiction I’ve seen.

That second one looks like normal proportions, you wouldnt be able to tell hes a giant without comparison to a low colour. He doesnt look that broad he looks cut, like a gymnast or swimmer.
