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...

I love these, I used to make weapon lists like this when I was little. They were sooo much fun. I like the names of the weapons and how they suit the appearance so well. I think I'll try another list sometime.

Wings of the Plague and Hornet of Flames appeal to me. Of course, all the deisgns rock, it's just that I'd only use those two.

Fire and poison. <3

Ok, last comment for today. I've been meaning to comment on this one for a while.

I want all of these weapons. I'd have the Jaw of the Beatle as my primary, Fish of Shock as my secondary strapped to my back, and the Wings of the Plague as my assassin/last-resort weapon.

Unicorn, Talon and Hornel would be my rampage weapons, when everything in front of me must die quickly and horribly. ^_^

I read the whole thing The jaw of the beetle I like especially because the texture and the rendering of light and shadow make it seem very realistic to me. Also, you spelled beetle wrong. You are using the Legendary British Rock band spelling. Sorry to point that out. These are very impressive though. Great job as usual sir.

Once Again, BONE WEAPONS, *loves and Holds the done weapons* hmmm <.<.....>.>..... *Steals the 'Unicorn Of Death' and Runs away, Trips and hurts himself* I like it they are colored beautifly, and they have some interesting names to them too.

i hate to be the only critic, and im sure this comment will be ignored, but i think on some of them the general shapes were a little generic and more of the attention was put into the details.

The Celtic hero Cuchulainn had a lightning-spear named Gae Bulga, which was carved from the bones of a sea monster. Did you base the Fish of Shock on Gae Bulga, by chance?

Prima-Donna [2007-01-26 22:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Such creativity! I envy you.... >_>

Design wise, I like the Jaw of the Beatle and Hornet of Flames best. Concept wise, again Hornet of Flames, but also Fish of Shock. Common, connecting things via lightning? How awesomely cool is that?!

So, I guess my favourite would be the bow. *nods*

Mikit-Yorinao [2007-01-25 22:00:24 +0000 UTC]

My favorites would have to be Wings of the Plague and Unicorn of Death. I'll also mention that the names you come up with are quite creative for the weapons you design. Has Anima consumed all of your creative energy? It doesn't not seem like you submit anything that is not related to it, except for the occassional tattoo sheet.

For statistical purposes: I read the whole thing.

It's awesome to be able to log in and see these new works of yours almost everytime. IS THERE ANY END TO YOUR INSPIRATION!?

The whole skull/bone concept is awesome. I just can't express myself about this, it's simply overwhelming x) And because you explain about every piece in detail it becomes even greater.

I'm cheering for you from the crowd, Wen.
