Ling Po Sword...

Ding, ding! Arctic on the cool-o-meter.

Thank you both. I appreciate the compliments.

Denaren Axe...

Any ideas from my feather sword idea?


The 'Wing' has hundreds of razor sharp blades that are hidden in the center rod, they *tching* out to provide an actual blade, so it looks like a sword but maybe wavier or segmented. Any ideas?

Modern Dao...

Hey Tetsubo,
I just discovered this thread today, and I'm very impressed. I was wondering if you had given any thought to compiling all your designs onto one site somewhere under different categories so that they would be easier to find?

Edit:
Oh, I also had a request. I have a weapon in my campaign that is similar to your Forearm Sword that you drew, but the blad comes all the way around from the bottome to just about the knuckles on the top. The entire outer edge is sharp of course, and the inner edge is rounded and dulled (so as not to slice off your own wrist while using it). It would be largely curving, very few angles. The entire blade (handle and all) would be steel, but the handle would be wrapped in leather most likely. It is a weapon that the Jungle Elves in my campaign use, but I've never had much luck drawing it. I did a super-simple sketch to give you a very general idea about the shape, but that's about the best I could do. Sorry its so blurry, I don't have a scanner, and only have a cell-phone camera to work with.

Ishmayl's Forearm Sword...

Filling a request. This sketch ended up with a sort of chunky, anime-style look.

Awesome! That's pretty close to what I was imagining, but I had more of an arc in the larger, bottom blade in mind (kinda like a crescent shape instead of a straight blade), but still cool nonetheless
