I don't mind a bit, but it can get a bit confusing when someone credits when doing fan arts.

Wowsie, you certainly know your stuff. Especially weapon designs. Mind if I send a note your way too?

Sure. I may not have put up a journal to make it official, but I am taking commissions... Though I should note in advance that I am about to head back for another year of college and that will negatively affect how much time I have to work on such projects.

Well, I just need some ideas of creating my own weapons and I have some base ideas, but they need refinement. Would you be willing to help out?

Well... send me a note with some info on your characters (who they are will impact their weapons after all), including any thoughts about weapons you had already.

But yeah, definitely via a Note - We're talking in the comments of someone else art right now after all! Little bit rude!

//squeeeeee

You so got Elroy right! Nigel is based on the Harpies tho XD Harbour is related to the air and flight while Nigel is short for Nigellus which means dark or black in Latin. Magenta is a bit tricky since she is based on Arachne. Now Arachne is not really a monster persay but she was cursed by Athena and I figured that having two legit monsters and two cursed one will balance out the team

And youre a godsend! Im having so much trouble with weapons and i doo need some help XD

Well feel free to send me a note about anything in particular (weapon wise). I'm sure we can work something out (especially since I've been rather tempted to commission you as well).

But for starters, all the reference I can think of for the Minotaur show the creature armed with a large double-headed axe... So that'd have to be part of it... Maybe with some kind of WW2 Era Anti-tank rifle in the shaft?
As for Nigel... Well, looking up Harpies on Wikipedia I found three themes that could reference a weapon - Those being speed/swiftness, air/wind, and the origin of the word Harpy itself, being 'snatchers'. This called up the image in my mind of a pair of little flying drones that fire grapnels on ropes to ensnare and bind targets. Maybe one (or both) could transform into armour for Nigel to wear?
As for Magenta... How about some variation of an Estock? Its as close as a sword can get to the form of a sewing needle...? Admittedly I also had the thought of a matching pair of one-handed crossbows, each with four 'arms', that when taken together would echo the 8-legged form of a spider... -shrugs-

But yeah, those are just suggestions.

oh! Your insights are very much interesting! But sadly, my team already have their designated weapon because I made sure that it will be compatible with their semblance... Elroy has Gauntlets(That I completely based the design on Ember Celica rip me), Nigel has bladed tonfas and Magenta has steel wired claws

But Im planning on making a second team so your help will def be welcomed! <3 <3 <3

Second team huh? Well, if & when, let me know!

Oh! And in regards to the 'reference sheet' stuff for your characters, I'm part of a group that specialises in helping people refine their OCs (RWBY OCs anyway) - If you go to the point of asking for an "official review" from the admins, there is free art in it! The better the character, the better the 'reward'. Anyway, link: hunters4hire.deviantart.com/

Jonarus-Drakus In reply to Eru-shi [2017-02-08 02:23:55 +0000 UTC]

Well... There is the 'Estoc' type blade I mentioned, which are a very 'finesse' weapon and a medieval precursor to the later 'fencing foil' type of blade.

Thinking about it, it wouldn't actually be all that hard to combine them with a small (one-hand) crossbow. So there we go for a 'text version' - dual hand-bows (4 'arms', each linked to a separate launch mechanism that fires ammunition closer to a dart (poisoned maybe, or dust tipped) than a traditional crossbow 'bolt'), that transform into twin Estoc blades, the bow arms becoming the cross-guard for the blade and the grip folding up and such. In both modes they would be pretty stealthy weapons too, which may fit in with the spider theme (Spiders normally being the sneaky 'ambush' type of predators and all).

hm... Im gonna have to modify Magenta's clothing then. Her current design doesnt seem to fit in well with an estoc. I originally planned claws so I gues Magenta will be going under a major make over
