Wip It Wednesday -Back To Big Sketchbooks

Something I've been working on in my shiny new much bigger sketch book. For a while, I've been buying small purse size sketchbooks because I thought they where more convenient, but I'm starting to learn that I feel more motivated to draw in a bigger sketch book.
Well, anyways, My tradition is to try to do something nice on the first page of the sketchbook I'm currently working in.
I'm still working away at this sketch, the sword feels a little off and I want to give it a *gasp* real background.
