Description The Sentinels of Eblon have the most technologically advanced civilization of all of Codorus. They have found a way to crystalize raw mana into a material that rivals the strongest metals.

However, the process of creating the material is a bit lengthy, and so these powerful weapons are only given to those who prove to be champions of Eblon.


---


A set of weapons from my original game world, Codorus. Most are self explanitory, but the Gauntlet and Focus band are a bit unique. They act as enhancers and alter the way that other weapons work.


time: ~20 hours over 3-4 days
tools: Photoshop CS5, wacom tablet
notes: updated this from the previous version. Removed the mana rifle completely and redesigned the focus. Snazzier layout and such too.
Edit: changed to wide format. lol I'm so indecisive.

Hi! I also found this set, and thought it would make a really fun 3D modelling exercise. Sorry, I should have asked first! Here's the final piece, please let me know if you'd rather I take it down, no worries at all. (I took some liberties with the model, I'm still getting my head around how to do some of the little details!)

I know this is years late but I think that you have over-designed some of the items.
I like the designs but I think you should take inspiration from IRL weapons.  In combat the weapon needs to be light or it will be a hindrance in combat, there needs to be a guard on the weapon to prevent the user's hand from slipping up and gripping the blade, and this is personal preference but I like melee weapons to be simple in design.

I was inspired by your concept art and decided to translate it to 3D for practice:

Looks super fantastic! I wonder if I can use some of these weapons for the game I am developing. Surely you will be credited in it.  Appreciate your efforts anyway!

Not these ones.  it's a crystalized magic, so it's more like a hardened, translucent surface.  There are certainly energy weapons in this world though.

Those are pretty commonly used in online games or fantasy settings.  Focus items tend to be used by mages to channel their magical power - it's like a reservoir of energy or a point for them to channel their powers through.  Tomes tend to be used by mages, clerics, and templars, and are usually like books of spells, like a grimoiur or canticle.

lol    Seems like you know what you like!  ;D  Green manashard would look pretty sexy I think.  I dunno about green and orange, might come off as halloween-ish.  Unless that's what you're going for. ;D  Green and black or green and silver would be pretty sex though.  Green and gold could look really elegant too!

Hammer is neat.  And I like a thrown-weapon idea.  How about the cube?  How would you envision that being used as a weapon?

twisterfox321 In reply to JNetRocks [2013-09-15 21:27:21 +0000 UTC]

he can release huge amounts of mana, and give the user to manipulate the mana that the cube generates!

JNetRocks In reply to twisterfox321 [2013-09-23 11:50:34 +0000 UTC]

 Sounds like a focus style item to me, just a different 'skin'.  I like the hammer a lot though!  Might try to do that up.  :3

and it can do melee damage (the cube floats in the air soo you make him do melee damage by making him goo where you want and create some good moves with that feature) and he is also very resistent, perfect for defending against other weapons!!

I took it out, wasn't sure if I was going to have rifles.    You're the second person to ask though, so I'll prolly put it back in.  People like their rifles.
