It would be a Naginata. A halberd has an ax blade on the side and a spear tip. A naginata, however, has a full blade running across the end of the staff.

It's a guan dao. And contrary to popular belief, the European is NOT a halberd. The european equivalent would be a glaive. The glaive, guan dao, and nagintina all have the same basic design, but the length and thickness of the blade is different for each.

Polearms and.... whatever those two sword thingies are that Kratos uses in God of War...
VERY AWESOME!

I would either call this a glaive or a naginata, very similar weapons from Europe and Japan, respectively. The tassel and designs give the weapon an Asian feel, but the spike on the end is a typical European addition, so it could go either way.
As far as the art goes, this is very impressive. I like the details and designs on the weapon. Nice job.

its a polearm, yes, but concidering the design youve decided to give it id define it as a guan dao, which is the chineese equivilant of the european glaive and japanese naginata. a glaive wouldnt be decorated like that and a naginata would have a much thinner blade. the tassel is altso common in chinese pole weapons to serve as a distraction for the enemy.
PS: love it, i want one... NAOW!

Due to the point location, the curvature of the blade, and the fact that its one sided, it would be classified as a pole arm i believe.

I wanted to ask your permission in case I use this as a weapon in one of my stories 'cause I suck at drawing...

Hi I really like your weapon design and I would like to have your permission to model it in 3D. It`s not in a lucrative goal or contest or anything like that.
It`s for a school project where we have to model a weapon of our choice and the design doesn`t need to be ours. So all credits will go to you and I wont claim it as my own. But since its yours I just want to make sure 
Thanks

with that type of blade, it is a decorative glaive. and i mean an actual glaive, not the stupid World of Warcraft 'glaives' that look like huge throwing stars. those arn't glaives. this is a glaive. my DnD character uses one.

It's pretty colors on a stick, therefor is it ice-cream!

Amazing! And a really cool coloring job.
Just to go against the grain, I'll say Guan Dao. Naginatas are katanas with extended handles.

Well this answers the oldest question of all time:
can a weapon also be artwork?
sure as heck looks that way...

Second post to back up my claim. Here's a link to google image search for "Quandao"

That is NOT a Naginata. That, is a Quandao. A chinese pole arm named for General G(K)wan Yu. Has no one on Dev-art played Dynasty Warriors?

Have I mentioned how much I love the style in which you drew this?

Brilliant weapon. Very fanciful, yet I can definitely see this as a functional weapon as well, unlike many pics I've seen. Also, just my opinion, I side with the Glaive guy above.

A halberd has an axe blade and a spike on the back meant to be used against people on horseback. this is not a halberd. It is an Asian styled polearm, one of the ones mentioned already.

It's actually a "bisen-to" an ancient Chinese weapon used by imperial guards, which eventually traveled to Japan, where they thinned out the blade and called it a "naginata."

it is a chinese weapon, no naginata, though it was roughly based around it. it is called Kwan dao.

Isn't this Lubu's Sepert Halberd? Looks very well done!

I like this weapon. By the way, it's called the Guan Dao, a long range blade which is extremely heavy.

Wow, amazing job... I'd give you the answer to your question but it seems you have got it a billion times so far. XD
