Description This set was interesting to work with.

At first i just wanted weapons that had skulls or bones as decorations but when i sat down and started the final sketches. I had decided to make the entire weapon out of bone or claws. some strings and clothes are used, but the point is, no metal.

eh hm, the following points are not neccessarily that of Anima studio, just my personal thoughts while creating these weapons. (god i had wanted to say something like this. )

In concept these weapons are magically and/or chemically fortified so that with the right strength, they can cut or pierce armor.

Anyways..damn, this thing is gonna be long...but i feel like explaining them a bit, mostly cuz i spend time on them, hehe

Wings of the Plague: made from the skull of a large, Stork like bird. it sheds poison dusts.

Jaw of the beatle: made from a jaw bone of a large monster . this weapon has an Earth Elemental attribute.

Unicorn of Death: Made from two horns found on a unicorn type monster. The skull near the grip is of a different monster. It has death element attributes.

Fish of Shock: the pole is from a piece of whale bone, the spear head is a skull of the fish. they are really small on this, but on the right side of the spear, there s a few shells, connected by lightning. =]

Talon of the Mantis: Made from a talon found on the same monster as the "Jaw of the Beatle". The entire thing is carved out from the same talon, the little skull on it is just decoration, its not a real skull of any creature.

Hornet of Flames: Made from a rib bone of a fire breathing, dragon-type monster. The fire never goes out on that bow. The user would have to use a gauntlet made from the same bones, or he will get his hand burnt. I think i will design that gauntlet next time. hehe

whew. i wonder how many people will read this whole thing...

ah. i wasn't sure if that part was a blade (like a rapier) but i was pretty sure the lightning wasn't supposed to be a guard.

I love the explanations, I read them all.

I've absolutly fallen in love with your character and weapon designs, along with the execution. I wish I could design and draw like you, but nothing ever comes out like I want it to.

Heheh, resourceful uses for the carcasess of those pesky animals you meet on a day to day basis...making bad-ass weaponry out of them ^_^ I really like the Jawbone of the Beetle...it's really awesome how the whole whole thing fits together, as it's one of the most accurate depictions of a weapon made from a jawbone (I've seen a few...none of them look like they could have come from any type of jaws, XD ) I'd hate to encounter the monster that the bone and talon came from.

The descriptions of them are very nice ^^ Quite vivid and detailed, as well as the drawings. As I said, accuracy is your fine point, as everything does indeed look as though it was constructed from natural materials with little to no foreign resources involved. Well done, good sir, well done. I bow to your unmatched artistic prowess

You're an inspiration to weapon graphic artists. You've really outdone yourself with the texturing on this one. Talon of Mantis, Wings of the Plague, and Unicorn of Death are my favorites.

The little details are amazing and the construction and proportions of the weapons are perfect. I love the textures, their names are good too
I'd say my favourites are the unicorn and the bow.
Well done!

Soulforge In reply to ??? [2007-01-07 05:40:41 +0000 UTC]

*ahem*

The detail in these most recent weapons surpass that of any of your previous (though amazing) works!!! I love the theme...just out of curiosity do you generally pick the theme of your weapon sets or do the Anima guys?

(Oh, and I actually read the entire description. It's nice to know that someone puts that much thought into a work; that alone speaks volumes of your talent, my friend)

Looking forward to the next batch, Wen!

I don't think I would want to meet the beast that the jawbone and talon belong to...

let me ask a curiosity question: Is the unicorn of death some sort of throwing weapon like a javelin?
It looks like it could be used like a lance, too...
