Description

 Happy Halloween!   I decided to dress Aardrin up as Gourry Gabriev and Rysta as Lina Inverse


Why?


Would you believe that The Slayers was one of my inspirations for Wand and Sword originally?


There's actually very little of that origin left . . . other than the size difference between Aardrin and Rysta, the fact that Rysta is a sorceress with a temper, that Aardrin knows how to use a sword and is protective of Rysta, and the fact that the two of them can really put the food away like Gourry and Lina


Aardrin is FAR smarter than Gourry. No question there


Why is Aardrin looking off to the side? In my head Calaen is over there laughing his ass off at that ridiculous shoulder armor and how Aardrin has a hard enough time getting through doors due to his height, now he has to shuffle through knees bent and sideways with those on


Aardrin is pondering whether or not he'd be able to heal any damage the Sword of Light could do to Prince Calaen Rysta, in the meantime, is oblivious and really enjoying her costume, other than the fact that the earrings are REALLY heavy


 

The Slayers belong to Hajime Kanzaka


Aardrin and Rysta belong to me aka

Love it! I especially love Aardrin's expression I have no idea who The Slayers are, but I really like the outfits, and both of them look excellent!

Ooh, that is awesome!!   I caught a few episodes of Slayers when I babysat many years ago, and really enjoyed it.  They were certainly lovable and memorable characters! 
How cool that you go inspiration for your story from that one.   Rysta and Aardrin look so awesome in their costumes!

This is really super cute! Great picture for Halloween.

Ahh, I've only ever heard of The Slayers, but that's really neat that it was an inspiration for Wand and Sword.

It's a fun Anime. One of the few that's actually based on a book rather than a manga Worth a look if you've never seen it
