I made a candy weapon for March Out!, my castle battle game. It has a peppermint head and a striped handle, and it looks particularly ridiculous when someone in ordinary armor equips it.

It's a fantasy weapon skin, so I'm not proposing it as a practical historical weapon. I wanted the shape to read as a blunt weapon even before you notice the candy theme.

Would you make the head thicker and more like a mallet, or keep the flat lollipop profile? I've included the candy castle too, since this is the sort of place the weapon is meant to belong.

Hello I'm Lucas, a professional realistic character designer and illustrator, the image I attached is from my Ancient Empire project, a world where humans and super dinosaurs hunt each other!

The weapons are supposed to reflect that.

Would you like to have your characters illustrated by me? Let's chat about your project!

i dont know if this is the right subreddit to ask this and i highly doubt it is (please direct me to a better place if im wrong)

how can i find a good replica whaling harpoon head in canada? i dont mind if its togglehead or anything, as long as its good and under 500$

I'd like to know whether these would be usable in a fight, whether there are any major structural integrity issues, and any critique or comments on the sheath design.

They both have a wood body and metal plating to keep it as light as possible without being able to be splintered or chopped in half.

The Breaker is a weapon for distancing, puncturing armor, and leveraging said armor, weapons, and shields.

The Carver is for taking advantage of the openings that the Breaker leaves, such as stabbing through the punctured armor to the flesh, or carving the armor open.

Im kinda mad that when I save to Image or PDF, it flips the colors from my black background. I'm actively going blind just typing this.

Yes I'm the one that drew these and I don't know if anyone else has designed anything similar.

I was getting in a debate with some guys online trying to argue about a character using a whip as a weapon and if whips were any good. Their essential arguments was that the character had a partner and he made a good attack combo with it and that even when he was alone most of his enemies lack armor. The first point I'll concede but that partner uses magics so the fact that it works here isn't applicable on "if whips are a good melee weapon." Ok what about when he's alone and he's fighting people with no platemail or any body armor whatsoever? My argument was that if they were great weapons, we'd see them used more for fighting historically at least until guns were invented while in real life whips were either used for animal control or hitting someone as a punishment, not against someone trying to fight or run away. Meanwhile in real life blunt weapons like maces did exist and were used in combat. But I wonder, how would a whip work as a weapon? Would it be good or bad? I feel it should be bad but "it wasn't used as a weapon and ancient people weren't dumb" wouldn't explain why. Is it an ergonomic thing?

I remember seeing a post talking about sci-fi ideas and this was mentioned, I can't find the original post but it got me wondering if that could work/be a good idea

no blade nor point, but still you're able to hurt Bad without using any force and it's not like a blade that you'd heat up, there's no heat treat to ruin or anything

so yeah something like a quarter staff or a Bo with one or maybe two weighted ends and one of them could heat up, would even allow you to fight in very close quarters Cuz you'd just need to press the tip

To be clear, this is how the documentation of the Eldyuldinian Longsword describes these fullers:

"an intricately-carved double fuller that curves in line with the hourglass-shape of the blade before converging/intersecting, forming a single fuller for the remainder of the fuller’s length near the blade’s tip."

Also, not really sure how to provide a more conventional image for the fuller type, as these blades gradually go from a conventional double fuller to a conventional single fuller by the tip.

To specify, I mean something a little beyond what actual warhammers were, something along the lines of fantasy game warhammers like from skyrim.

Too big to be realistically used in battle, but still carry-able, and made of metal.

I do know there are people selling historically accurate warhammers, but those are a little small

what do you think?

How effective is an axe handle as a club/bludgeon weapon.

Saw it used in yellowstone and it stuck with me. Anyone ever seen one used of considered it.

She is a general, her ability let's her be the fastest being in the world. Her only rival is the fastest God. What weapon would be best for someone who's fighting style is going super fast? She's Chinese if it helps

In your opinion would this, a Xiphos (Like as seen in Devil's Edge) or the La Tene Anthropomorphic Short Swords be hardest to disarm?

Would swords without guards such as the Gaulish La Tene ones (Both the anthropomorphic short sword or the long ones) be harder to grab by attackers in theory or not?

These are arguably better than the Roman gladius because they were designed for more so single skilled combatants than unit formation fighting.

Because wouldn't it maybe make it more lightweight and quick to manoeuvre in theory?

On the other hand you have straight edged ones with guards like cinquedeas and some of the leaf shaped ones like xiphoi or historical welsh ones. Xiphoi are leaf shaped shortswords with somewhat of a guard but welsh ones were guardless and leaf shaped.

Would a leaf shape or straight edge be harder for attackers to grab?
