Weapon Illustration Sketches

Unusual - perhaps exotic - request.

I'm soon introducing a character (druid) into our game whose primary weapon is a spear, crafted from oak. The weapon is all crafted from a single piece of wood - even the blade (gotta love Ironwood). The butt of the weapon should look as if the spear was just torn from the tree.

Possible?

Yes. I'll start to think about it.

I hate to stack replies on ya but I've just been toying with this design and I can't quite make it 'pretty'

A saber military/calvery style with a long slightly curving blade that would lend itself to god slashes but still allow swift thrusts without needing much adjustment from a fencers grip. Now for the flavor the handguard would be in the form of a raptor (Hawk, Falcon, Eagle or whathave you) with it's wings swept back and it's breast and belly forming the hand gaurd sort of basketly and it's head curled downwerd like the top of a S so it would be looking up when sheathed and down when wielded and sturdy enough looking that with a slight twist when accepting a sword on sword blow it could function as a bit of a blade catch

That is a really complex design idea. I will not say "No" outright. But it is a challenge that I may not be up too. No promises.

I realized this when I was putting typing it out andthat it is a bit unfair for me to ask of someone something I can't do all that well myself.

I thank you for taking it into concideration and hope you do try your hand at it, I'd really like to see what you produce

Thri-kreen Gythka...

The Thri-kreen are a D&D race of humanoid insects with four arms. They traditionally build very primitive, neolithic types of weapons. Using bone, stone, crystal, wood, etc. But I figured if they had access to metal...

Oh that's pretty...the studs at the ends for the tang?

 

[Presto2112]

Yes. I'll start to think about it.

That's all I can ask.

 

[Tetsubo]

Oh that's pretty...the studs at the ends for the tang?

Correct. I like the designs to look like it might be feasible to actually build the weapon.
