Okay heres whats up, In light of this game creation I think we can all do this. Im going to make a list of weapons, I want you all to (if you want) make your own perspective on weaponsdo a sketch on paper or other stuff.. and make it so its rather large so about one weapon per page (allows for the most amount of detail). and you pm me the pictures from a hosted site and tell me what weapon it goes under and I will do so. all weapons will be added. but in the end the community decides which ones they want or theyll critique your drawings and tell you how to make it better. (dont take it personnaly) upon the critiques I want you to make the changes if you can or want to. but its better if you did.

steps on nice sketches-

first use pencil to sketch it out (mainly to erase)

after that use a heavy ballpoint pen to outlined said sketch.

after it is outlined use eraser to erase the pencil (makes it look cleaner)

there yah go best results form sketches, and if you really want to make changes trace the original inked version in pencil so if it is critiqued you can make the changes as said. these are all optional.

thank you for participating.

PS I will also give you critique if you ask

ps could this be stickied?

[secretrk1313]

I would be willing to 3D some of the sketches when they come in, and nice work on the list serenity, hope to see your comments on the new low polly model of your desighn

[Serenity]

tomorrow during school I shall Run through some sketches and slap them up there so we have some =D

[Karl G.]

I'm not to great at drawing, but I can sticky this post for ya!

[Serenity]

thank you, Even if im the only one that draws sketches and gets critiques it all ios worth it in the end I do suppose

[9sam1]

i think itd be best to make most items look as close to the xen ones since this is a xen remake right?

[Serenity]

i think itd be best to make most items look as close to the xen ones since this is a xen remake right?

sam, I think its better to make the weapons more uniqaue then in xenimus. this is going retro with new twists. I dont like looking at the sme models for weapons but having different textures. I would rather see something that was created from some one elses imigination working their. I admit that the very noob stuff should be rather basic like the sword, short sword and the like.

[9sam1]

i think we should keep certain things the same. i mean ej's models arnt ALL that bad

[Serenity]

would you rather see something you drew ingame or something ej drew?

[9sam1]

id liek to see some new things obviously but some certain models of ej's i really like. btw isnt this supposed to be a xen remake? shouldnt we try to make it as xen-like as possible?

[Karl G.]

sam: we can remake the Xenimus *style* without simply ripping off all of his content. The reason the Map Maker uses it right now (as does the game engine) is because replacement content takes a LONG time to make.

I fully support developing new content by this community--it's a great idea and I look forward to seeing what you can come up with!

[Serenity]

new pictures added check them out and tell me what you think

[thadiusofx3]

Cool pics but maybe the vis gladius should be a bit bigger, being the best sword in the game and all

[secretrk1313]

nice pics,look just as sweet as the the dragon sword one, which by the way i'm finished with so should you put like a check mark to the ones that are done? check the most recent 3D thread for my questions too. another question though, what are we suppose to do about animations? should we be worrying about that for the strings on the bows?

[Serenity]

Im not sure on the animations part but I believe you may have to..becuase with a bow the whole thing is going to be animated becuase thats what a bow does you pull the string and the bow bends creating the tension. so with the bows just do models and we will have to see what karl seggests

[Serenity]

Cool pics but maybe the vis gladius should be a bit bigger, being the best sword in the game and all

I was thinking that aswell ill be done with a revised version in a bit

[Joe M.]

yes, the proportions aren't exactly sword-like on it, but let's not go into the Final Fantasy Paradigm.

The (incomplete) FF-Paradigm:
1) The bigger your sword, the more powerful you are.
2) Concerning female characters, the less skin that the armor covers, the more protection it provides.

...There are more, but let's not go there, eh?

[9sam1]

check thadius's 3d model thread to see the vis gladius model i posted.

[Serenity]

I was trying to keep mine more gladius style then sword.. since it is the vis gladius

[thadiusofx3]

Gladius is just a Latin term meaning a general sword, not necesarily the short sword that the romans used

[Serenity]

I dont like short swords so I tend to keep my swords rather long.. I say nix all the short swords ever created. except rapiers they are more of a status

[9sam1]

Vis Gladius

[Vitriol]

Vis Gladius

The grip-guard is too fancy and demonic looking I think. Texture is wierd as well. Otherwise its good. I always though the vis gladius should just look like a roman gladius

Just with a simple, elegant hand grip.

[Serenity]

as did I except I couldnt draw the handgrip too well, but I kept the gladius look somewhat to as it should but It is a legandary weapon so it should look somewhat awesome yet simple

[Vitriol]

Lets keep the blade shorter and the edges parallel to one another.

that sword model can be used for something else.
