Where did you get your inspiration for Trent's sword-type weapon?

It's vaguely inspired by my enjoyment of large and heavy weapons in Monster Hunter, but I arrived at the specific shape myself.

Okay, I'll look into that, thank you for getting back with me. I'd love to see more art with your Trent character!

This is great! I love seeing characters's equipment in detail, and practical fantasy armor designs seem a rarity nowadays.

I just wanted to make one observation about the 'bow tip nocks' on that bow. (at a great draw they might come off.) all nicks tend to be on the 'back' for this reason. i46.tinypic.com/i4puoi.jpg
(if your interested in realistic design.)

Once you get the basic shapes for a character worked out, I actually recommend going a bit overboard on the detail. Once you've packed in as much detail as you can, you're able to take a step back and figure out which details work and which ones just clutter up the design. From there you can remove the unnecessary details and still have a good concentration of detail where it's needed.
As a personal example using my character Reina, here's the initial design for her armor from a few years back:
In retrospect, that design is just a mess of technical greebles, all competing for attention, and really disrupting the overall shape of the design.
The current iteration of the armor preserves the most essential details of the original, but most of the clutter has been removed:
As a consequence, the overall shaping comes through a lot more clearly and the character ends up having a better-defined silhouette, while still having enough detail to be visually interesting.
I don't mean to throw unsolicited advice at you, I just figured it might be useful insight.

The Helmet for Trent, is it based off of Guts from Berserk The Golden Age Arc animated movie/s? Tekka-Croe

Tekka-Croe In reply to Aerrowflex [2016-04-27 15:12:40 +0000 UTC]
I actually haven't gotten around to watching the movies yet; I have however read a little bit of the manga and have seen the anime from the 90's.
But yeah, the nose and cheek guard area is based off of Guts' helmet. I figured it was appropriate to make a nod to the inspiration that Berserk provided.

Actually from someone who has seen his fair share of fantasy weapons. These are far more practical than anything else. The only ones that might be a stretch are the bow and great sword. And that itself is nitpicking. From a design standpoint the great sword is only a tad big.
I gotta say though the armor designs are fantastic. The armors are well protective, properly cover the characters and allow a range of movement for the various classes.

MegaBLYSTONE In reply to VATROU [2016-04-11 02:50:05 +0000 UTC]
Even then, that great sword's grip placement would make it difficult to maneuver. I'll have to agree with you on the armor though; Excellently designed.

The Great sword's grip, well that really depends on the scale of it, from the way I look at it; it seems like a two handed sword grip on both sections. Meaning the swordsman can choke up or down on the sword depending upon the need for reach or fine dexterous movement. I could be misjudging the scale of course but comparing the great sword to the dagger handles it does seem much longer and more easily adaptable.

That's a nice change of pace. Reina looks good in green.
It's fun to see you include yourself as a character (lol).
Lionheart bears a striking resemblance to Nathan Fillion's character in Destiny. Coincidence?
Yvonne reminds me of Links blue outfit from twilight princess... sort of.
Trent just feels like Berserk's Guts. Looking badass and all!
The weapon designs look amazing and feel practical and fit each character well.
I hope this goes further (maybe a short story or something).
Great job!

-I also think that green is good color on Reina, it's just a lot harder to work that into my sci-fi aesthetic.
-Tekka might be accurately considered my first true OC; he's where I derive my screen-name from. I haven't done much with him since high school, so he hasn't gotten much exposure.
-I didn't even realize that Fillion had a part in Destiny. I played the demo back when they made that available, and while I enjoyed the mechanical gameplay, I just wasn't really feeling the story and world. If it ever gets a PC release, I'll probably pick it up then.
-The Twilight Princess connection is loose, but it's there. I love the designs for Link's gear in both TP and especially in Skyward Sword. It gave me a real appreciation for how cool a layered tunic and chain hauberk can look.
-I definitely had Berserk in mind when working on Trent. How could I not with that great huge blade?
-The weapons were a lot of fun to design, especially the non-standard ones like Trent's aforementioned blade and Lionheart's katar-style short blades.

I'm recently watching the new Anime Grimgar and I was thinking the whole time what class my character could be. I was thinking of a warrior but I could just not get a decent sword together until is saw Trent's sword. Thats just some badass beast hunter weapon.

Have you happened to find any more art that has Trent's type of sword? I've been trying to find similar swords as inspiration for a weapon for my own character and haven't been able to find any

KaribuXY In reply to SonOfSturle [2019-04-24 16:53:51 +0000 UTC]
I would say the Monster Hunter Series has a good collection of weapon regarding warrior Type of Classes. They might be a bit oversized but you can always scale them down. Regardless I would just type in ''weapons'' or ''concept art Weapons'' in the search bar of google. normally comes up with some cool looks.

Aerbella [2016-03-07 16:38:24 +0000 UTC]
It looks great, but wouldn't Trent's weapon be rather unwieldy with the divided grip? There's little travel allowed for the hands, which is important for a polearm, or a sword-polearm hybrid like this.
I love the clothing, especially Lionheart's boots.
