Artist's Rendition

"Every hand leaves something behind. Even when the canvas is ash." – The Bear

You take care of that gun, Guardian.

Built with equal parts precision and obsession, Artist's Rendition was never intended to be merely a weapon. Its frame bears the marks of repeated alteration—lines reshaped, components replaced, edges refined until function and expression became indistinguishable.

Those who carried it spoke of a weapon that changed with its wielder. Scratches became signatures. Repairs became revisions. No two versions were ever quite alike. In time, the gun earned its name not because it belonged to an artist, but because every Guardian who held it left some small part of themselves behind.
