Description
For those who may or may not remember it, WeaponLord was a 2D sword-fighting game that featured a bunch of bad-ass babarians. This was a while ago, 11 years in fact, and it came out on the SNES and Genesis.This was my fav character, Bane, who was cursed to live on a mountain pass until some other poor soul ventured, where they would then be force to take Bane's place. He killed a sabertoothed wolf. and wears it's skin. How frigging cool is that!!??!?

I've often wondered if he was the inspiration behind Rock from Soul Blade/Calibur

Incredible! Yeah, Weaponlord the game deserves a comeback. Terrible controls but the characters were badass.

I like the Conan-esque character designs, but as a game, it has its misses.
I like Bane!

Amazing work, I like the frosty faded background that adds an illusion of depth. While this is very well drawn, I think I've seen this pose with the Hulk.

Son of a bitch, I REMEMBER this one! I'm really astounded that there are people commemorating obscure, yet classic games like this.
Way to amaze!

Cool pic!
I've thought of doing some Weaponlord FanArt myself. Bane was my fave character as well, with Jen-Tai as second favourite. I forget the Sorceress' name now, but she was fun to use too with her orb attack in a combo.
One of my fave 2D fighters, loads of depth to that game. I wish Namco had made a sequel.

Hey jonin! Cool to see you on here.
Divada was the sorceress's name. And I was actually able to talk to the main creator of WeaponLord, who runs his own team now named CrunchTime games. And I was told he's currently looking to buy the rights back for WeaponLord from Namco, and he's thinking of doing a 2D remake of WeaponLord, and release it on Xbox Live Arcade. But, that is a lot of ifs..

Any number of the photos in your gallery have hues and tones far more rich then anything I could ever achieve.

I know a friend of mine that uses the same style of colouring, leaving the pencil traces together with digital colouring.
I have to say that I really like that style of colouring. It would be nice if you attempt to use programs like Painter or Open Canvas to colourize your images, and see what happens, and experiment with new techniques using the basis of your own nice style

Great comments! Yeah, I have painter, but I'm a very, very slow learner when it comes to mastering the nuances of new programs. I will use it eventually.

Painter is a whole lot different than Photoshop. If you ever need any help with it, don't hesitate to let me know. I can fetch you some pretty good tutorials if you'd like.

This smackbang awesome! Digging the pose and background. The steam out of the mouth effect is a nice touch and help emmerse the character in the scene. Is Weaponlord worth picking up?
