More concepts for the Hawk Spear design I've been working on. Previous versions: www.deviantart.com/tnc-n3cl/ar… | www.deviantart.com/tnc-n3cl/ar…

Getting the backstory review out of the way... This is for a The Legend of Zelda fanfic-y idea, partly rewriting the events of Breath of the Wild so that Ganon possesses the Champions to control their Divine Beasts rather than killing them. His foul magic keeps them alive for the 100 years between The Great Calamity and the events of BotW. This allows Link to save the Champions and they aid him in his travels. Some 20 or so years later Hyrule is well on its way to being built back better. As part of this effort the new Hyrule army has a new elite unit made up of peoples from all over Hyrule. The Champions act as trainers for the academy for this unit. Revali's daughter joins this unit as a spear master and, after graduating the academy, commissions this customized spear for herself. (Terrible with naming so she doesn't have a name yet, probably something referencing Medli from Wind Waker or Divine Beast Vah Medoh, which is itself named after Medli so...)

I've included two of the old concepts for comparison, #1 and #5. Concept 6 takes the bird beak shaped part of Concept 1 and incorporates the weapon catching notch into that part while getting rid of the original second part of the blade. Also the spike on the buttcap has been replaced with a full on spear tip to make it a full fledged dual edged weapon.

Concept 7 refines the idea behind the bird beak shape of Concept 1. The head has been shortened and the hook refined to better mimic the hooked beak of a raptor. Furthermore the second part of the blade and weapon catching notch has been redrawn to look more like the open maw of a screeching raptor. The second spear tip from Concept 6 is included but I added the little hole in it to reduce weight and reference the Feathered Edge and Feathered Spear from BotW. ( zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Feathere… | zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Feathere… )

Size conversion (rounded):
Concept 1 = 7.92 ft long spear, 2.15 ft long spear tip
Concept 5 = 7.11 ft long spear, 1.45 ft long spear tip

Concept 6 = 7.55 ft long spear, 2.16 ft long primary spear tip, 1.20 ft long secondary spear tip

Concept 7 = 6.80 ft long spear, 1.42 ft long primary spear tip, 1.20 ft long secondary spear tip
