Description Full view please

As he started to chant a magical symbol appeared beneath his feet. It spun slightly till it stopped and the fire symbol grew brighter. Almost in an instance the symbol turned a red color to signify the power or flame running though it. Light traveled from the symbol to the center where the caster was standing. In the center a small flame grew and grew till it was medium sized and bright. Suddenly fire and flame burst from the center as the caster raised a tonfa above his head. The flames concentrated on the tip forming into a ball of searing fire. As he thrust forward with the tonfa the ball flew foward searching for a target. Simultaneously he raised the other tonfa and more flame and fire from the center repeated what it had done with the first; forming into yet another ball ready to be used if neccessary.



I thought I'd let you all in on my incite for these. I enjoyed making this one a whole lot and am very proud of it. Tonfa seem to be my most comfortable weapon and are natural in my grip. Bos are cool too though


Enjoy, comment and crit are welcome as always.

Edit: Forgot to say this the first time cause I was in a rush. My problem with this was figuring out when to stop. Also, I apologize for the bigger size with this one. It may take a bit to load.



I allow DFFX to post up this work.

Hey very nice! I only have one problem with it, that i noticed, its the arcane circle, the perspective is a bit off, the circle on the top is the same size as the one on the bottom. I can see you scaled it a bit, but if you used photoshop, you should try using the skew tool to squish only the top portion of the entire circle just a tad. Other than that, i like the design to it, and i like the writing you did!

Dude, that was pretty cool... And I thought I was being original having a character that uses fire tonfas... Gwah, I guess you can't be original this days..

For a moment, just a teensy little moment, I though you were actually making fire.

....don't laugh at me.... just cause I'm naive.

Good work with the flames, real nice Any tips on creating flames like that?

Oh, btw, let's see...lightning, gas/clouds, frost, water, nature and holy are the remaining ones...am I right?

holydak In reply to Hellwolve [2005-11-13 13:24:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Sure, there are many methods for making fire, but I actually wrote a fire tutorial which can be found here: [link]

It's pretty long, but that's just cause it's detailed really. Once you figure it out, it's not very hard ^^ Might I also suggest [link] Good resource to learn things.

As far as the other ones, I've already done some of them. But the whole thing is Fire, Lighting, Earth, Light, Ice, Water, Air, Dark. I had an original series of runes where I already did each one. But this is my second series involving weapons. Well if you wanna see them you can just check out my gallery, they're in there ^^ I haven't finished all the weapons yet. I think I still have dark, earth, lightning, and water left. Two of those are close to done.

Anywho, thanks for the comment ^^
