Weapon Icon Contest

[CT075]

For Round 4, let's up the ante a bit. Your task this week is to create/design a Legendary Weapon that would fit in the view that the GBA titles present them; that is, you may choose to create any type of icon (Sword, Lance, Axe, Bow, Fire/Wind/Thunder, Light, Dark, or Staff), but it must be something like a Holy Weapon (FE4), Divine Weapon (FE6/7), a Sacred Twin (FE8), etc. in nature. (So, something like FE7's Regal Blade wouldn't count, but something akin to Durandal obviously would.)

• 16x16 box. I may or may not check this. Honor system.
  
• FE colors.
  
• It is the responsibility of the voters and the spriters to ask "does that look like the right weapon rank?"
  
• Winner selects next challenge.
  
• You must make a new icon, no using a pre-made one.
  

I have no idea. Noooooooo clue.

What better way to test my skills than being able to create what I want! What's the deadline?

[CT075]

Fuck, I knew I forgot something.

[BlackShadow]

So we have to make it look like a Holy/Divine weapon or do we make our own and name it, making of that standard? So do we base it off the others or create our own basically?

[AstraLunaSol]

I think he's saying Make a Legendary that would fit with the other legendaries in other FE games.

Edited April 15, 2011 by AstraLunaSol

[CT075]

Yeah, that'd be it. Make your own, of course, and try to make it fit in with weapons such as Balmunk or Malte (for example).

[Lord Glenn]

For clarification, the way I had intended it was for each person to make either a Sword, Lance, Axe, Bow, Staff, or Tome (GBA!Anima, Light, or Dark) that was new and their own creation that would be a part of a set of Legendary Weapons. For instance, I might make a Legendary Lance-type weapon that would, in essence, be a part of its own unique set of Legendary weapons (sets being FE4's Holy Weapons, etc.). However, you only have to make the one icon.

Now, thinking about it, I suppose that one could also do a reimagining of an existing Legendary weapon using an artwork reference (for those that have them) or even an alternate or new Legendary weapon that would be "added" to an existing set.

I'm going to leave this judgment up to Cam's interpretation, however.

I think that this makes more sense now...?

[CT075]

^that works

I'm not going to bother trying to interpret what counts as legendary or not, so just go with the rules as Josh calls them.

[Light Lord]

Just wondering...should I upload the image through the Image option in posts or through an image link (like photobucket maybe)? May enter this one, but not so sure yet, until I finish one I worked some time ago.

[CT075]

Preferably Photobucket or tinypic or something of the sort. I know some people use gyazo, that's fine too.

Basically, just give me something I can show in the first post.

[Light Lord]

Does this count as a good entry? And moreover, does it even look like it could be a legendary?

If it should fit in a universe, I don't where it could fit, because I originally designed it as part of a new legendary set for a story of my own. Name, Excalibur, something a bit predictable but I like so much that legendary sword.

[CT075]

Whether it counts as a legendary is up to you and the voters. That's my policy on everything, actually (mainly because I don't feel like getting into arguments).

[13th]

I like it, Light. It looks like it would be something like a prf weapon for King Arthur, equivalent to Audhulma<br><br>

[iavasechui]

Probably needs work... -_-; at least this one doesn't look like a closed umbrella like my last attempt at a sword XP

Edit: ... XD did it finally start not auto converting my little face thingies into smilies XD

My Entry

A Rainbow blade

[iavasechui]

Hmmm swapped the blade and hilt colors to maybe look more legendary...

Before:

After:

So.... question is did it work?

It's based on that sword and tale, but like I said, for a story I'm working on. Topic to be discussed somewhere else.

I like the after one, it's like shiny and kind of more legendary than the first one. I have a feeling it can be a legendary with some sort of magic infused.

Cam, I'll enter with Excalibur in this contest. Now I'll try to see if I can do any improvements and submit it in time.

[iavasechui]

^_^ Thanks I'll go with the second one then. XP Now if I could just figure out how to insert weapon icons XD cause I want to use that for my Lord's weapon in my hack now XD

[AstraLunaSol]

Hm, I think people should choose a FE that their weapon fits into.

Like, Entry:

"Weapon Icon" (FE Whatever)

For Judging purposes.

I would've entered it sooner, but I had to get off the computer last night.

EDIT: And with that, I come with my own piece of shit.

[Feaw]

Y'all boring only making swords.

I'll try to come up with an axe or bow.

Oh, actually, can I make a Knife/Dagger? Since they're a legit weapon type in RD (and will be in my game as well). Pleashe?

[Claude C Kenny]

I either want to submit this: (if it's allowed)

or this:

Provided they look halfway decent. Remember, i'm a noob, so my stuff might not look so good yet.

[CT075]

You must submit one or the other.

@Feaw: Knives would be acceptable.

People make swords because they're almost as easy as lances but are easier to make fancy-like

[Claude C Kenny]

Do they look alright, or is that my concern only when it comes to this? (just saying cuz it is a contest, after all).

[CT075]

The first icon could be better, but it's fairly good.

The second one... wtf is that?
