Post your Weapon Design Contest submission

[Silvi.5867]

I just hope, whenever they're in need for a new design for blacklion oder story, that they will look through all those great ideas of our community.

[Zan.9861]

I wonder what was the reason to reject the Fey axe concept.

[Zaree Nilerabanwen.2307]

My weapon concept was simple compared to the amazing designs people are showing, but it was based on a particular weapon I picture one of my characters using.

It's the sword portion of a cane sword, with a globe of Tyria crowning the handle.

 


 

[Chiara.9827]

Here's mine. Two staves, one straight out of an asuran lab, the other sylvari branches reclaiming a metal staff. Quality is not up there with the winners, but I like them :)



 

[scrii.5439]

Mine were very specific so I'm not at all surprised I didn't place, but it was definitely fun either way!

So many amazing entries in this thread - what a nightmare it must've been for Anet to pick only 20.

 

 

 

[Freya.4563]

Congratulations to all the finalists!

So nice to see your all great and lovely designs.

Here is my Sword. I hope everyone can see the little Aurene sleeping on it. :)

[CornishRose.2815]

I made these two pieces based off of the concept "Two Queens"

The Two Queens, [Nahlah and Dahlah](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Monuments_of_Nahlah_and_Dahlah "Nahlah and Dahlah"), jointly ruled Elona. Shortly after huge monuments were erected, the Scarab Plague hit, and both queens were blamed for the plague.

posting mine, the idea was to create weapons that would open up from the hilts, and produce holographic lightning.

hope you like it!

There are already some entries here, which far surmount the quality of any of the 20 finalists.

 

Peronally absolutely shocked, that the absolute awesome longbow concept, I briefly call it now "Ten Suns", cause too lazy to type out its full name :P actually hasn#t made it ...

 

But also the sword design from the poster, who said, he maded a rushed job, is like x times better, than most entries that made it to the 20 finalists and you receive the impression, that some of those entries simply didn'ät made it into the top 20, simpyl because they overwhelmed anet with so muhc full on details in the design, which most, if not all top 20 entries absolutely don#t have at all, that they got simply out of technically ,because of just "too much details" that making tsich high detailed concepts is just impossible with GW2s engine lol

 

Or you receive the impression, that some entries kind of aimed for a too high goal, there are some entries hier,e that are visualyl so stunning, that they potentially make up for awesome possible legendary weapons, while I think the contest was practicalyl thought for makign designs for just kind of named exotic quality weapons, which was then the reason certain entries got disqualified for getting into the Top 0, because of simply looking to good for beign in the end just only a named exotic weapon, like for exampel this would be the case for my taste with Ten Suns, as much as id like to see this bow being in the game, but for a simple exotic weapon this design is then again looking already way too good ;)

 

However, keep on posting guys, we want to get the 900 complete hehe ^^

[Floating Pork.2185]

I only made a rough sketch, but i still think it could be neat - far not as artsy and polished as the other finalists though:


 

 

[Zatoh.5627]


I'm honestly not surprised mine didn't make it. Either it broke too many guidelines or I didn't have enough photoshop experience to make it look interesting. Whatever the case, I had a few friends tell me they liked the idea of this scepter skin. It's meant to be a dedication to the mentors and explorers of Tyria, sharing their knowledge to all who need it (hence the apple, mentor badge, and T.E.S. logo). The other theme I guess you could see in this scepter is the term "knowledge is power", so if you were a bookworm and want to give your toon (ie Firebrand) a book related off-hand weapon (ie Flameseeker Prophecies), this scepter would complement that motif.

Another thing to note is that the scepter is completely flat when it's stowed. But when it's wielded, the book opens up and reveals the globe of Tyria.

[SugarCayne.3098]

lol I'm totally beginning to see why mine was eliminated. All of your stuff is amazing here folks. Some really great talent.

[SugarCayne.3098]

ugh it won't let you edit post. Apologies for double.

I didn't, they were on white backgrounds. I just prettied them up for my portfolio afterwards.

I spent way too much time not sleeping over this. And I still feel like I didn't do good enough; someone punch my brain for me please.

I saw your entry the other day in Reddit. It is breathtaking. I wish they would of left a few swords out and put in different weapons, like shield.

[Glissa Wolfblood.7095]

Here's my entry for a scepter.

[Cat's Favor](https://imgur.com/G9vV6LC)

Basically a feather teaser with a flexible stick, which the top part should wiggle about when moving.

Wow! How long has this merchant been there with these weapons? I completely missed them and must go buy out her stock immediately!

Thanks for the link. :)
