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...

Gah! They're all so cool! The coloring, the design...I want to get that good!!! The Hornet of Flame and the Talon of the Mantis are really breathtaking! My characters would be so much cooler if I could draw some bad-ass weapons like yours!

I like the idea. Bone weapons are difficult and you showed an amazin amount of creativity!
I like that you actually looked for references (the Wings of the plague and the Jaw of the beatle are my favorite I think).
And I was amazed at the Bow. I once had a request for a bone bow and I had a hard time coming up with a bodypart that fit for this (just to let you know I chose the spine for my coldweather ranger). Imagine my surprise when I found somebody came up with a different idea that worked just as well - and a better design

Yes, I have read the whole thing. And even if you didn't put the explination, I think most if not all the people could guess what elemental ties each weapon had. Fantastic job as always.
If you're going to draw a gauntlet for the Hornet of Flames, why not go further and draw a set of bone armor as well?

With a jaw like that, Samson coulda slew twice as many Philistines. All he had was the jaw of a lousy ass.

XD what do you mean "I wonder how many people will read this" I love it when I get to read those big comments on arts ^-^ Infact I hate it when they don't say anything at all! (not just you, but I mean artists in general) I really like to read about the art from the artists perspective, and I like to see what they think about it.
Even you have just shown me that there is more perplexity to these weapons than could be seen visually.
I admire that even though they didn't set limits for you, you dicided to set some yourself, like not making any of it out of metal. Its kinda sad cause I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't have said so yourself >.O
Anyways, great coloring and such! I always love how textured you make the weapons, and all those little details you add ^-^

Once again, AWSOME weapons. I like the Fish of Shock and the Hornel of Flames. I love the look of both, and have always been a fan of bows so... yeah. Wings of the Plague is cool too actually.

The "Unicorn of Death" reminds me of something I saw in a bookstore once. It was a unicorn action figure, with four interchangable horns. Each one had a different thing, like glow-in-the-dark or sparkly metallic. It also came with three different human figures: a mime, a lawyer, and a hippie. They all have little soft ruber bits in their chests so you can impale them on the unicorn.
Anywho, lovely work as usual.
