Both of these are extremely cool!

Many more thanks!

This sketch was inspired by some parts I was making at work yesterday. They had some frilled trim that evoked this idea...

I think of this concept as a fusion of a Japanese tetsubo (iron staff) and an Aztec flint edged club. It seems to me to be well suited to an Orc or Ogre warrior...

Very nice! You've got a very clean style. I like the Swiss Army Polearm, too. Now all it needs is that special attachment for a halberd head, or a double piece like the end-cap that lets you put two of them together for a pike configuration. Also, tweezers, a toothpick and a corkscrew. How could they refuse it at that point?

If you're taking requests, here's one to try:

In my campaign world, Gnolls are of the more advanced races. They use heavier weapons that humans can comfortably wield due to their naturally superior strength. The instrument of death they favour the most is the cleaver blade, which is as you might expect essentially a cleaver the size of a great sword. The weapon is used to quickly deliver killing strikes against foes, even those in heavier armour, and to destroy cavalry. I imagine it being a wide blade with a single edge, long and with a long grip. Whenever I try to draw it, it ends up looking comically unwieldy though… Plus, I suck at drawing.

Anyway, I’d appreciate it if you’d take a crack at it.

Thank you, I'll try.

One Gnoll War Cleaver...

Whoo, nice! Not quite what I had in mind, I'd actually meant for the blade to be about as long as a greatsword... Guess I should have explained that more clearly.

But that looks like a great one-handed version... Used more like a waraxe or something. Or thrown, though it'd be pretty off-balance for that. But thanks! That's some impressive work there.

How about something like this?

Or this?
