[QUOTE="Drifter Bob, post: 1670077, member: 17723"] Yeah, me too, and it's a good thing. I've been working with the artist on these for over a year. At first we had to go back and forth 8 or 9 times to get the images just right. Now he's got the process streamlined and he does each one perfect the first time almost every time. I bought him a copy of Oakeshottes [U]records of the Medieval sword[/U] and he's got every other weapons book I own. Plus we use sites like myarmoury.com and swordforum international a lot. All in all I think we did something like 260 different weapons from first sketch to final photoshop processing, and we are still working on the armor. I enjoy it though, I think weapons are a high form of art, especially the earlier period stuff. The elegance of some of those swords in particular is something I find breathtaking, and I think Ramone captures that really well. DB [/QUOTE]
