Darkmod weapons drawing contest rules:
1. All entries should be posted in this thread with a link to an uploaded picture.
2. Drawings can be digitally drawn, or scanned hand-drawn pictures.
3. All entries must be feasible within the M&B engine.
4. Avoid submitting a 3d model unless you really know yourself to be a good modeler.

Prizes:
1st Place: The weapon will be modeled by me, and will have a quest built around it in Darkmod. Your name will be added to Darkmod's credits.
2nd Place-3rd Place: Your weapon will be placed in Darkmod in some capacity and your name added to the credits.

Note: If the quality of submissions is really excellent I may award 1st prize to more than one person.

Suggestions (for winning)
DON'T -
Submit weapons that you can't imagine a person actually being able to use. Really high fantasy stuff with lots of spikes and appendages is not what I'm looking for.
DO-
Be creative. Try to make weapons that have balance to them, both artistically and physically.

Any questions you might have can be posted here.

The weapon contest will end June 30th.

I can do more

[Duderamus]

Soon as i find a way to post the picture i'll put it in

[Ahadhran]

@Quail

you might want to up the contrast on your first picture, its very hard to see

@Duderamus

you can upload pictures to image shack here: http://www.imageshack.us/


Keep the submissions coming! 

[Quail]

Hey Ahadhran I think you can click on the picture and it zooms it in and you can see it better.

[Ahadhran]

Hmm, must be my monitor. Even zoomed in its hard to see. I'll just throw the picture in photoshop and up the contrast  .

[Ebu Deyyus]

this is made in paint, hand-drawn could be much better but no scanner

[Lord.Bedham]

I made some weapons 2 one hands, and two 2 Handers. Each one evil and one good. I tried to make it so realistic and so posebil i can becouse it must be to smith and thath you can make it in the game if you want.
Sorry for my english.

First: Einhander good.


second: Einhander Evil.


Third Zweihander: Good


Forth: Zweihander: Evil


I hope you like my weapons, if not no wonder its only made with paint. I can make better pics for you if you want one. I can draw mutch better i have already make pictures for a book.

@Lord.Bedham
There is no limit on entries so if you want to do some hand drawings and submit them that would be great!

[Ares]

Here's my offering:

[Ahadhran]

So far everyone has submitted swords. Isn't anyone going to try their  hand at some polearms, bows, or any of the other assorted weaponry possible in M&B?

[Ares]

ok

[Ebu Deyyus]

[Janus]

I used to draw swords and other weapons a lot when I was a kid, so I dug this oddity up:

I remember styling it as an "executioner's axe" or something like that, though in actual fact it would be very poorly suited for a real execution job.
The detail on the blade center was supposed to be a somewhat oriental style dragon.

Apologies for the poor contrast (I even upped it 30% in Photoshop), it was done in pencil over 10 years ago so it's somewhat faded.

[Lord.Bedham]

okay! After hours and hours of drawing my fingers are wound, but its done! 
2 axes, 4 warhammers, 3 Swords, 2 daggers, 3 polearms, and 2 ranged weapons.

[Lord.Bedham]

I Forgot the Ranged weapons. . The Arbaleste was the most work of al of the Arms.
1# Arbarleste 2# Komposit Langbogen.

[Ahadhran]

There is some real quality stuff from everyone here! Its going to be hard to decide! 

[Quail]

I drew a couple more quick sketches of a variety of weapons but I can't upload them now because where I am.

[Duderamus]

I can't get my drawings scanned onto my damn computer....something wrong with my network =(

[Ahadhran]

I can't get my drawings scanned onto my damn computer....something wrong with my network =(

Thats no fun, whats the trouble? Getting the scanner to work, or accessing the file after its scanned? Is it a home network or some other situation?

[warspite]

Puhaaa...just in time...^^

[Ahadhran]
