Title: My first attempt
Post by: scobar on January 27, 2004, 02:50:39 am: As many of you have seen I\'ve done some work with the skins that already existed creating a new look for the dermorian, but I haven\'t done anything from scratch. So here\'s my first attempt

Post by: scobar on January 27, 2004, 06:40:25 am: I updated the site.
Added a pic of a personalized sword with a blade made from my name and an axe with magical powers given by a diamond crystal crafted into it, which I\'m very proud of.

Post by: scobar on January 27, 2004, 10:13:59 pm: I decided to try designing some armor. So I made a helm for an Enkidukai.

It\'s photo 7. I think I will stick to making more weapons, I think they turned out more realistic. Its easier to make them in 2d art.

Secondly, have you considered applying for the Planeshift team?

Post by: scobar on January 28, 2004, 04:21:11 am: Just Created a bow that works as a double bladed sword if close combat is inevitable.

I am in agreement with Shadowmancer. i think you should talk to the devs and see if they may want to use your art, but that is completly up to you.
Title:
Post by: shadowmancer on January 28, 2004, 04:52:31 am: For the bow, in order for it to be realistically used, the blades would have to point out farther. And it\'s a composite bow, right? Because any other type would have to be made of soft material which would break in close combat.

Post by: Syzerian on January 28, 2004, 04:57:09 am: wow that bow is surely worthy of my use
make more please :P

I would definitely like to help with planeshift developement. I did apply a while back with graphics I\'d done for websites, but I received no response.
I started designing this equipment to see, first, if I could design realistic models, and second, to hopefully catch the eye of the dev team. So if they like my style they will have to let me know.

I know this, and it will be extremely simple to change. However, it was a completely new idea and I didn\'t want the blades to overwhelm the bow. So depending on what people think, the blades can stay or go. And I had intended to make the bow gold plated, but the metalic look did not go well with the handle and blades so I made it look like extremely strong wood great for close combat.

Post by: Kixie on January 28, 2004, 05:14:41 am: well maybe next time you could make a bow like that with blades but make it more straight. most of the modern english and celtic bows werent curved as much as the traditional bows and were very straight. it took alot of strength to pull back the string on those ones. but this would support blades much better. you could really use blades on a bow like that.

Post by: Boldstorm on January 28, 2004, 05:45:52 am: Wow those are all really great :D I think I am willing to fight for the axe. Keep up the great work :tup:

Post by: scobar on January 28, 2004, 06:44:16 am: My newest weapon: Spear

I had intended it to be a spear javalin, but I felt it was too plain so I made it unthrowable but added defense by giving it a swordguard.

The spear has all 3 crystals crafted into the head.

Please give me suggestions and ideas for new weapons that should exist in planeshift.
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 28, 2004, 07:03:29 am: make some claw weapons. those are some weapons people dont usually fan art on in planeshift.
Title:
Post by: scobar on January 28, 2004, 07:51:54 am: Whemy, let me try to kill 2 birds with one claw.
Here is the claw you requested. It is a top view.

The claw is made of dark metal, designed to be used by a stealth assassin who can hide in shadows. The middle claw deals quick death when thrusted into the correct place on ones back. Here\'s the best part for you. It is only usable by felines. That should make up for that staff.

Post by: Skizzik on January 28, 2004, 07:13:17 pm: An axe with a diamond in it! 8o *drools*
Title:
Post by: Taldor on January 28, 2004, 07:15:23 pm: It\'s all very good and certainly for your first attempt.
Altough there is one thing i don\'t like: the pink background of the latest pictures.
[EDIT]It\'s fixed now.[/EDIT]
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 28, 2004, 07:50:04 pm: I would seriously kill for that claw :D
Title:
Post by: scobar on January 28, 2004, 07:56:32 pm: fixed the pink background problem, and added my latest weapon.

It is a dagger only to be used as an assassin\'s weapon. The blade is made of a sting ray\'s tail. The handle holds a reservoir of lethal poison which quickly flows through passages in the blade and into the victom. And last, stretching from the handle are hardened scorpion tails.

The name is Venom\'s Wrath

Or with it :)

Dude, your stuff rhox (http://www.wizards.com/magic/autocard.asp?name=\"rhox\"). Not only is the art great, but the concepts behind the weapons are well thought out.
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 28, 2004, 08:07:29 pm: yes and good job on the claw. very cool, its almost perfect.

Im also im glad i havent found the generic cool weapon \"katana\" they are so over done and bland by now if you ask me.

Post by: scobar on January 29, 2004, 12:10:41 am: Here\'s the newest: 2-handed Dwarf Axe

The first axe I made would take quite an arm to wield, and would probably work best for the bigger races. So I made a weapon for the dwarves of Planeshift.

The blade is quite large, but very light and swift not being solid metal, and the shaft is long but very sturdy. It gives great reach and power to those little guys/girls.

Post by: Kixie on January 29, 2004, 12:14:21 am: heh that would tip a DWARF. good job again, but it think your siggy space is running out :P
Title:
Post by: scobar on January 29, 2004, 10:08:50 am: I would like to know exactly what kind of art the planeshift team expects of its 2d members. I very much enjoy making these weapons and descriptions for their use. However, if the planeshift team does not even want anything like this, I would like to continue improving my skills in a manner more productive towards the game. So any input would be great. Btw, thanks for the comments and suggestions from all the members here.

Post by: Kampai on January 29, 2004, 02:00:30 pm: Very nice weapons! I especially like that last axe :D
