sci fi weapons or swords and sheilds? for these greens
« on: August 13, 2013, 04:58:05 PM »
What do you think would best suit these greens? sci fi weapons or basic swords and sheilds, bow and arrow, spears etc, etc ?

actually both
they look traditional, but this doesn't mean anything.
How about something that could be both, like Steampunk guns, Batthlets and such?

and they look cool
who will sell them?

 former user : hi,

yeah its got me static right now trying to figure it out about weapons,

Your suggestion of both sounds like it could work.

The arms look long but im gonna cut the arms down before i finish them.

They have not been sold as this is the first time ive put up photos

Glad you like them! and thank you!

by my taste, the long arms look more alien

2nd
@Genarater - don't ask questions on this forum  :D
You are in danger of receiving good ideas - like the one withe the Jaffar Thundersticks

here's a weird one:
how about sling and ahtlatl based projectile weapons? these can have "primitive" projectiles like stones and spears but also explosive warheads and impact grenades, and in SF a range enhancer like a rocket propellant

Edit: double elbows like the legs of quadrupeds - extended metacarpals
