OH YEAH!

That's sweet. Thank you very much. It has become quite a large part of my character, and now I have a wonderful visual for everyone.

You are most welcome, thank you for the compliment. Any further request feel free to ask.

You want to be on my mailing list of those that get my sketches via email? Drop me a line.

Off to prepare for my game tonight...!

Fine as it is!

lurker admiration

Tetsuo;

I have been lurking the thread for quite some time marvelling at the styles and originality of your weapons. It reminds me of my regular days of gaming where I always had a sketch of my weapons to accompany my hero.

In the vein of starting up a game with an old highschool friend, I decided I would have sketches for my rogue character's longknives (shortswords as per the rules) and decided to hunt your swords for appropo ones. I found one that was perfect, for they are not to be a matching set, and then I altered two of your images to create what I call the Glaive Sword, shown below.

So Glaive01 combined with the hilt of Sword32 became...

The other longknife is the hilt's originator.

Thanks for making my character so intimidating

Glad that I could be an inspiration. Nice conversion.

And it's Tetsubo.

The oval is a depression for the holders thumb.

This ended up looking rather gothic I think. The joint of the blade with the shaft is mushroom shaped, as noted. I think I've mined this theme for all it's worth.

Sort of an Asian style polearm with an eye theme.

Wow. This is some of the most wonderful artwork I have ever seen. So amazingly delicate, but so amazingly real. Keep up the amazing work Tetsubo.

A couple times you said you post these pictures on a newsgroup. I was curious which one?


Also I am going to have to point my players over here. Some of these weapons would be perfect for my Buffy the Vampire Slayer game. Again just amazin work.

I just spent about an hour going from the very begining of this thread to the end.

Thank you a great deal, I appreciate the compliment. I strive for combing a sense of realism with one of the possibilities of the fantastic.

I post my sketches to:

alt.binaries.pictures.fantasy-sci-fi
alt.binaries.pictures.weapons

Or you can email me and ask to be put on the list of those I email them directly to.

I take request as well, just can't promise a turn around time. Could be 12 hours, could be 12 days.

Thank you again.
