Hi Tetsubo. Just wanted to hop in and compliment you on the good work. I especially like the elven battle staff. Keep it up!

Unique shortsword +1

Hi Tetsubo, glad to see you've returned to the fold. I always get a kick out of checking out your weapon sketches.

On that note...

I'd like you to take a shot at a unique magical shortsword +1. Think elven in design but more of a wood elf's sword, not a high elfs. It has crosshatched leather on it's hilt and the blade is etched with many elven runes along the blade.

Five special runes, where the blade meets the basketed hilt, glow with a soft white light when in the presence of any true dragon. It isn't meant to be a dragonslayer's weapon however. It's bonus increases for the wielder when used near dragons, but not against dragons.

Note the basket hilt is wider than it is deep. The blade is jagged near the top of the blade and is slightly curved, like a scimitar.

Let me know if this inspires you.

Cheers!

One of Tetsubo's weapons "cleaned" in photoshop.

Opinions?

Here you go...

Tetsubo, I think the flanged mace has been the best so far. Good thread and glad to see you pick up the pencil after all those years.

I think it looks good. I've never used Photoshop. I find it mildly intimidating and I probably can't afford it.

I'll start to think about it...

What kind of "jagged"? Saw-toothed, random, "flamed", etc?

Thank you. So am I. It's helping me stay sane.
