I thought we needed a thread for all the people brave enough to share the weapons they designed for the contest. Here is mine, I haven't submited it yet but I still might.

I'll probably have one up myself by the end of the week. I plan on making a 'unique' sword style and skin, which I hope I can do

I think that'd make a pretty wicked focus item, actually, if it were worn on the outside of the hand like the necromancer curses focus item. ('Cept it'd need to be smaller, obviously.)

I'll be submitting one of each item I suppose assuming I can do that, don't know if I'll throw 'em up here, though.

I designed a hammer this afternoon, it's ready in its envelope, will prolly send it out tomorrow. Maybe if I get the guts to actually post it I will. Or maybe I'll wait till hopefully I hear in January it got picked. I'm not the paint expert so its not in perfect pixel condition or anything, but Anet did say the winners would get some modifications to the looks. Maybe if you guys poke me enough I'll post my hammer. I'm still planning on trying to design some other weapons.

Regarding that bow; very nice. I wouldnt mind carrying one of those around. To me it looks like it came out of UW.

was thinking of this shield that is a cross between a regular ornate buckler and that not-so regular Coca Cola shield that them koreans got

If I read the rules correctly, you can submit a maximum of 2 designs (weapon and off-hand)?
I might have to put my concepts to a vote...

It's one submission per type per person. Meaning I can submit one of each of the weapon types and offhands.

Heres mine, was thinking like a oriental scimitar - along with a new race that you would get these from, the 'Aryaks'.

Nice job on all the designs, but I wouldn't post anything here. Some jerk might steal your ideas.

i really love the first one but i think the second one has more chances to be included in the game because it is more simple. The very complex design of the first one won't probably be as cool as that one when included in game.

Btw what do you use to create that ? I'd really try to create one myself and i tried with bryce and 3Dstudio max but it is very complicated and not adapted for game design i think.

the first one looks too fancy, so No.2 would be my pick. It looks really good and i honestly cant see warriors carrying around #1 ingame and looking as good as it does there

Personally, I like the Razor Blade. I actually like both blades, but I think the Thorn Blade is a bit impractical for actual fighting. Good job on the designs ...

I'd say Thorn Blade, I think the razor is a bit over done. just my opinion though

Here's an update on my sword blade (only for now). Haven't spent really much time with it yet.. an hour or so. Made a quick 3D model as well. This is just a texture, I guess.

I must say I haven't really done something like this before, so I quite enjoy doing this for the first time.

Are these showing? Ok, the first one is the original, MS Paint sword. The second one is the same, just enlarged in Photoshop CS. A little too big, just click the link. They're both a little fuzzy because they're JPEGs. The enlarged will be the one I'm sending.

Why did I use MS Paint? Because I can only do signatures and pictures in Photoshop CS. I can't draw in that program. I have alot more experience in MS Paint, and I think most of the stuff I draw turns out pretty good. This is pretty good too, in my opinion.

But I still look in awe upon those who can use Photoshop to do swords like wolverines. Granted, it's not done and I could make a shiney blade too, but not at ALL as good and detailed as that.

Very good job all.

Name of the sword? Not sure, thinking of "Moonpool Blade".

I don't think you guys read this:

Quote:
The use of color in your submitted image is entirely your choice. Because Guild Wars weapons are dyeable, color is less significant than design, so a black and white image is as likely to win as a color image. So I do not know why you guys are caring too much about texture... ><

I am going to draw mine on a peice of paper and pencil and send to them since I do not have any Maya, 3DMax or Photoshop skills... Just playing drawing on paper =)

Good luck for you guys!
By the way, here it is a hint: Stop making swords because its more likely that 90% of the people are going to draw one...

Staff, here I draw! :P
