I like the first one, because among all these entries, this one reflects the Chinese culture the best.


Ru Yi, has long been a traditional feng shui charm of China.

Are they that good?

How come I'm not impressed, I mean they are very good quality drawings but they look a little overkill in my humble opinion. *hides*

The staff before the last one looks cool.

Axe's FTW!!!

I hope they don't make the new weapons all shiny and colorful. We need more dark and realistic weapons, i.e. factions gothic items.

You are aware that Anet dosn't judge by the professionality of the artwork, but rather by the originality and creativity of the design? (Granted, those or not that bad either, with some of them.)

Actually that's exactly what I was thinking.
They are very good as technical and skillful drawings but I don't think weapon design has anything to do with that and most of these to me seem a bit...overbearing in their complex designs. Simplicity ftw! It has to look good and impressive ingame but also work.

Personally I like the first axe design, that has some feeling to it! But then again it's clearly asian or "Canthan" again. Personally I would like something more Nightfall or North style. The assasin daggers look really cool imho! Would I love to see my character with huge flashy shredders like that. My other fav is the Grenth shield because Grenth ftw! We need to see him more. I love the horns coming out of it, the only thing is that maybe it's form isn't exactly that of a shield. I also love the feather nature scepter thing because...I want a feather nature scepter!

But anyway skillful drawings nonetheless.

Yes and thus these aren't scary imo. They look like they're drawn in free time, like some big n mean weapons for an anime setting.
