natzuurjk · 03-30-2011, 06:10 PM

Def going to get in on this topic! I know there are some pretty badass weapon illustrations done for WoWTCG that would help with inspiration.

bledo83 · 03-30-2011, 06:33 PM

i�ll give it a try.
Cheers.

New member here. Thought I'd get my feet wet by doing this challenge.
Here's my first WIP. I played with the sword's shape in at art app on my Ipad, then started adding some atmosphere.

I apologize in advanced if I've posted this the wrong way.

Mathias_Godin · 03-31-2011, 08:23 AM

I am going to love this one...haha
this is surely going to be Epic with some entries of Epic proportion

mogster · 03-31-2011, 11:29 AM

Hmm Hmmmm... work work work..

zsocee · 03-31-2011, 04:05 PM

Hi all.
Count me in.
And here is a quick start of what I have in mind.
The dragon will be a sculpt, but I couldn't decide whether the whole thing would be carved in to a solid granite/obsidian wall, or it would just float in midair.
crits and comments are welcomed

I�m gonna try to combine a dramatic vast backround, with the sword nailed in the grass.

Something lie the last scene of braveheart.

Looks great everyone, looking forward to seeing these developed more.

I have one question. I was planning on doing this but looking at the reference one of them looks to be a lance(I'm not familiar with where that image comes from) Is it limited just to swords? Just making sure

Welcome! About the reference, it was only to show how the sword can be also presented, ONLY SWORDS ALLOWED for this round, sorry if it wasnt clear enough

Keep them comming people, its starting to get hot here!

ScalC · 04-01-2011, 02:37 PM

Hi everyone. Nice work here!
That's my sword.
I'm going to put it on an environment (like excalibur), and when the hero takes the sword, it will start to shine like here.

Hope you like it
C&C are welcome.

Getting their slowly ^^ orange strap ew that will get the chop.

zsocee · 04-01-2011, 05:09 PM

Hi everyone.
no updates today from me

Gr8 designs so far keep em coming

here is a few thing I have noticed:

@ScalC: Nice idea. but I think the grip/handle (don't know how its called ) is a bit too thick. And the blade, i think that straight blade with the curving end is a bit weird, don't really feel "natural", maybe if you curve the whole blade it would look more "sleek"

or leave the curving end and make a classic straight knight sword

@mogster: awesome design

. Only crit is that the whole thing is too dark. Don't spare with highlights, and your lighter more vibrant colors

Hope I'm understandable.
Made a few brushstrokes with dodge tool on your sword to point out what I'm talking about ( hope you don't mind )
