Anatomicae #16: Soul Reaper
Deadline: September 23th, 2011, 12:00 AM EST

For this challenge, work out a weapon concept that is deserving of its name: the Soul Reaper.

This is a Game design topic, so make the Soul Reaper Concept as if its for Game.

Limitations:

-It must be a weapon design based on a scythe.
-The weapon has needs to have some sort of special magical/mechanic/energetic function (ie., it is not your run-of-the-mill blade on a stick.)
-The weapon must be appropriate to its function as the weapon of a main Hero/Bad guy
-It must be at least side-view (other Point of Views to show function are welcome!)

Entrants will be judged on the creativity of their design, so this is not a strictly technical challenge.
Keep in mind that it need not be a straight-forward reinterpretation of a scythe. As long as it performs the same basic function, you've got the greenlight!

Hi Witmann,

we're discussing how we would like to handle the finals, as participation was a bit skimpy this round. Rest assured you aren't forgotten! You'll hear from me as soon as a decision is reached

Primtive sketch for soul reaper i hope that fit the terms

waiting for suggestions & critque

JoseVega · 09-20-2011, 02:44 PM

@alola - hey good start... i like the scale of it... i would suggest maybe defining what makes that soul reaper unique... think about functionality and it works like the handle, who uses it etc etc... i hope that helps

keep it up!

JoseVega · 09-20-2011, 04:07 PM

Had a little bit more time this morning than usual....so here i spend some time on it.... added more detail...what u guys think?

looking good cheo, maybe define a primary light source, on all parts, atm I am not sure where its coming from, as for my primary light is straight from top and i got by that on all my parts

not sure if im keeping red glow shit, I want it more death reaper feel, so im gona change to a sickly green glow eventually

htkpeh · 09-20-2011, 04:56 PM

@cheo: very nice till now,i like the engine idea very much
@cold: without words,truly inspiring and a very unique design,good choice
@alola:solid design,maybe you should try to find something what makes it more special
@vajoun: i really like the demonic enslaver- looks very cool and i love the little details

i made some new pencil sketches at work,hopefully can start tomorrow working digitally
and greetings to all the germans here^^(moin moin)

unfinished coloring i need suggestion to complete or dismissed from this event

JohnSilva · 09-22-2011, 11:57 AM

Vaejoun, Wonderful update! glad i could help, don't be tooooo self-critical, its ok to think its cool, because it is

htkpeh, Totally understand the function and love the design and brush strokes, def you're going in a good way! i'd just propose to render it a bit further so that every part of the scythe is easily recognizable

stace, Ahh super great! we know you can do it, push it!

Gyork, Man that is impressive! Its ok to have the same function because the design look its totally different! go for it, you're not copying or will be disqualified!

cheo36, Great finish, very well done! I specially liked the fact that you showed how big the scythe is in comparison to the user!

alola, Great start! It reminds me a bit of a steam punk theme, which is super cool! I would recommend you to research for steam punk scythes or other weapons, at the moment you're scythe is a bit "empty", you could add small details/carvings through out the scythe and its blade too

You guys are incredibly awesome, always helping, I'm proud of you

this is how a community should be like!
