Design-a-Weapon Winners announced!
GenobeeX
I like most of the designs, the sword especially. However it all depends on how anet uses them. I hope they'll actually put time and effort and use special effects like they did on tormented weapons to make weapons in general more interesting.
Sir Skullcrasher
Tormented weapons are the best out there! I wonder why no one used the ideas of Tormented weapons design (purple color that glows and look like mirror) to be incorporated with some of these new weapons?

@clawofcrimson- I have no idea either lol.
I'm still trying to figure out what this is: http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...pon07/hm-n.php Pretty hot cobra design. Problem is I can't tell if its a wand or an axe.

Meh.
The only interesting one is the Shield.But that will be dependant on whether or not its going to clip on Warrior Primeval Armor...
And also whether or not Anet will simply make this a generic shitty green item.

Wow, some of those look pretty cool to me. I like that staff with the dragon/phoenix head looking thingy. The bow is cool too, but how will it fall in line with the T rating?
Sub Frost
Some very nice designs there, kinda sad not see more bows getting picked, but still some great stuff there. Congrats to the winners and all that participated.
T N Player

To those wondering about some of the winners, don't forget that the concept is the important thing. The finished weapon might not look like the entry. ANet might use the detail on a different type of weapon or take the concept and use a different design.
I was amazed at the creativity shown by all the entries that I've seen. Where do you people get these ideas? I look at the drawings and say, YES, I WANT THAT, but could never have thought of it on my own.
As to size, you male warriors are all overdeveloped. Don't forget there are plenty of female warriors out there who don't look for weapons that replace lifting weights for exercise.

Great job to all those who showed up on the finals list... we would love to see your sketches as well!

I'm really impressed with these entries,all of them are really cool looking.
I especially like the twin dragon shield, it would look great with the new 15k Knights armour.

Quite a few of these designs are very high quality. But some...
KEEP AWAY THE CRAYON-WIELDING CHILDREN!!!!
I liked the Gavel, although it could have been a little bigger. I hope they do not make these into the typical massive wamo weapons - realistic sizes look so much better. The stygian reaver and fellblade are two of the worst skins they have, simply because they are way to big.
Anyways, there are only a few I acualy like - and ArenaNet, do NOT make these into green items.
Findur Calenardhon - Emerald Sword, Honorable Mention
Andre Roux - Blue Sword, Contest Winner
Anthony Lopes - Celestial Focus, Contest Winner
Jesus Galan Coronado - Twin Dragon Shield, Honorable Mention

Next Design-a-Weapon contest, I'm going to submit a entry!!

Wow, some of these are amazing.
Fox Reeveheart
I was so ticked that this didn't make it.
http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...pon07/hm-d.php
We have enough evil looking scythes, the only good aligned looking one would be the original sunspear scythe. This lady looks really holy and all and would great on a dervish in white vabbi armor
The dragon is nice I just hope they don't go with a red head... red dragon is too cliche... MAKE IT BLUE!

And the other 10% aren't so bad either. 2) Some people have put their heart and soul into these concepts, not to mention alot of time, so to be so blunt as to say they 'suck', deeply hurts. The sword was my design, and I can assure you it came straight out of my imagination, no reference material, no real insperation. Theres nothing worse to an artist to feel accused, even if you didn't spell it out..., of ripping or plagarizing another design. Please think of that when you post such things. |
@DarkZeal
I like your designs, particularly the Scythe. Too bad they didn't make the winners.

 no, it's not that close. There is nothing new under the sun man. You can always find something similar. I'd have to say the new sword is awesome. Better than the DoT. Congrats Andre! |
But that kinda looks like a dagger too.....sorta. Would be cool to make a dagger and sword version
But can anyone tell me what those unicorn and dragon things are?They're in the honerable mentions.
Envious
Very nice weapon designs from everyone, can't wait see them ingame.
nelifaroma
you guys do know that they cant model the bow into fine details right? you cant see the woman anyway, good luck spending 100k for 2 pieces of brown stuck together

Here was my entry: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51977822/ - I drew up the two alternate designs so that all three continental 'flavors' could potentially be satisfied. I'm better known for preferring modest designs that can be realistally made IRL than outlandish fantasy extravagance, anyway.
Again I'm kinda miffed that I didn't make the finals (some of the ones chosen were really... uh... WTF? but congratulations anyway), but as long as a Finn takes home one of the prizes, I'm happy

That one with the teddybear is hilarious, I really love it!
snikerz
some very impressive designs here and some that need to be replaced with the honorable mentions like that scythe.
anyway heres the sucky part people....implementation.
you may have beautiful designed weapons but somehow i dont think Anet are going to do a good job duplicating the design in-game, its happened before.
i considered sending a design which was similar to the phoenix axe or the scythe, it had demonic wings as the blades etc, but nothing compaired to the winners
thats a awesome design/idea with the teddy btw
actially your scythe is pretty impressive also

(Strategically draped leaves FTW!) Besides, as a couple people pointed out, it probably won't be big enough to really see a lot of detail.Quote:

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! I'm impressed by nearly every entry. ArenaNet isn't kidding when they say it's hard to pick the winners.
-Loki-
The winning sword and shield are rather nice. And for some reason I love the frog wand. The bow is pretty bleh.
