Weapon Illustration Sketches

I always envisioned it with a lot of sweeping curves around the hilt, sort of like the silver swords that githyanki use. The blade is pretty standard, slightly curved, single edged.

Sort of a cleaned up version of the sword held by the githyanki in this pic. Not quite so rugged looking, I guess. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG128.jpg

OK, I've saved the pic. Give me a bit to think about it.

Tetsubo do you think you could do a lighter version of your Orcish Heavy Glaive?

Tetsubo do you think you could do a lighter version of your Orcish Heavy Glaive?

How would the dimensions change? Thinner blade? Shorter? Thinner shaft? More of a tip hook or less?

I was thinking mainly about a thinner blade with perhaps slightly more gradual curves. But a slimmer tip with a seprate back hook/spike would also work well. Basicly a weapon with the same shape and lines but a feel more like your "Elven" weapons would be good. Thanks Tetsubo

OK Avouz, here's my take on a Githyanki Katana. I had to make the curves a bit subtle to keep it within a vague definition of "katana". I still think it looks exotic enough to be a weapon that would be used by a Githyanki. I hope you can use it.

Very nice but could you make it without the foward sweep at the bottom of the blade perhaps another trip hook would work there. Thanks again

Awesome work. I love it. Thanks a million, Tetsubo.
