Umm... wow? That is just...beautiful. ::cleans up drool with towel::

Seeing as I can't design and draw weapons for anything, I truly admire and love to see other people's weapons work. Yours is certainly no exception. Everything's so clean and precise, it's great!

Wow! Just Wow! I can NEVER draw weapons and shields etc. Argh it's not fair! And you can sculpt, *sulks momentarily*
Ah yes well, I love that crossbow sword, I think I could do with one of those. And I like the little foldy-away-dagger thing. That's great too.

Does that one sword have a crossbow mechanism on it?! That's the most BRILLIANT thing I've ever seen! Was that your idea? I also like the key--that is just awesome! The spear too . . . and, of course, the shield you have their with the lovely maple leaf! The rest are cool too, but those four were my favorites. ^_^

That ring looks familliar lol. Anyhoo, your weapons concepts are great, I need to work on my own myself. Your a great inspiration.

Hello, Tim! ^_^

See, I promised I'd come by. And now I get to be the only "Elfwood WRITER" on this particular page of yours. *evil snicker*

Here are my thoughts:

My first overall impression is in the color. I have this thing about vivid colors, and gold especially. So, naturally, the key caught my eye first (is that a key? Looks like the teeth are reminiscent of runes!). I am also very impressed at how easy you make it look to create metal . . . what did you do these in? Colored pencils? Computer? I was also struck at the thinness of the blades on each weapon - so very elegant.

The only thing I might suggest, if you ever put a collage of sorts together like this again, is be consistent . . . I noticed how some of the weapons have shadows and others don't . . . the one ring doesn't. That just seems kinda messy - not fitting at all to your attention to detail! The sketch that shows how the dagger opens is fine, but the ring and the blade below it need shadows to match.

LOL. I hope you don't mind me rambling! Now I'm off to see what else you can do. *is so impressed*

ja ne!

cool! but I got to wonder how the crossbow sword would be to fence with?

hum, now WHERE have i seen that ring before....



And that shield in the center must be owned by a 'royal paladin of the canadian court'

lol, sorry, they're neat and very well done, isay.

Dang, that's nice stuff. The blunderbuss/battleaxe cross looks particularly efficient. In actuality the crossbow/sword cross might not work all that well, but still a cool idea. The pike is also very nice.

Awesome work man. =)
