Tauren! Woooo!

The one true Warcraft Race. Does my heart good to see one of their weapons.

Above and beyond, Tetsubo. Above and beyond. I was not expecting a render of the war mill, but much thanks. This truly is, a Merry Christmas Season.

Would I be able to use these illustrations on my website, with proper credit and links, of course.

I have no problem with it. The render was done by John Dunaj (logo is in lower right corner). As long as he gets credit it should all be good. I'm glad you like the design.

I had someone on a newsgroup tell me that it would be a good weapon for a minotaur...

Axe of Sorrow...

This was inspired by a Native American warclub I saw online. The four opposing blades have tangs that pass through the wooden shaft and overlap each other. The pins in this design would be flush with the wood surface. The inserts (the face and the wedge shape) would be carved and inlayed ivory.

That's....an ugly, ugly weapon.

In a good way, of course

The Hooked axe looks way unbalanced, but cool in an oddly pseudo-asymmetrical way.

The Rapters claw looks nice, maybe what would be cool is if it had a more tribal motif, used as a ceremonial weapon as a raptors claw.

Opinions?

This is a deep-crystal double-bladed sword I cooked up in Photoshop for my Psychic Warrior. The center gem (with the lens flare) is a cognizance crystal. I'mm not really happy with the grip. Any thoughts?

I like the blades. I think the grip shape is OK. But I'd make it it a tad slimmer, less "chunky" if you know what I mean. Think of a tool handle, they are almost always slim. There's a reason for that... If it were my design (not knocking your idea here) I'd have the center piece (with the gem) be metal, as well as the two grip ends. But the two sections in between would be wood. Maybe covered with leather, maybe not. I think you have a solid design idea here. It just may need a bit of "tinkering".

If you could see how many times I erase a single line before I'm happy with it...
