After realizing the reality of life, after my debate with Lukas, I second that. We need an axe competition He made me realize what I want is an axe Havent returned to that thread as it just became the standard "what production sword is good" like every other thread that starts off interesting Made me realize I need a good axe tho Make it a fantasy pole weapon competition instead. More variation, more creativity. You can make anything from spears to axes to warhammers |

More variation, more creativity. You can make anything from spears to axes to warhammers I could dig on that. I've got quite a few polearm designs already and several I've been meaning to get around to designing and a pole weapon competition would be the perfect excuse. |

Hey man I saw that your pictures were taken down by Photobucket. I hope Paul managed to download your design before they were taken down. Did this affect your Hall of Blades? By the way, you're way too good at designing weapons. |

Unfortunately, it means my archive is now 100% defunct. |

I will design you a maple leaf axe in honor of your rich Canadian heritage.......plus we could pretend it's Elven (due to every Elven thing, weapon/armor being "nature-themed)! |

I appreciate the compliment. A maple leaf double bladed axe would be killer haha. All the spikes and points would be excellent contact points to focus percussion as well. |

I would be so down for a polearm design contest. The sky is literally the limit with polearms. People still have trouble categorizing them because there's so damned many types with variations blending the lines between.

Calm down guys *hands out Valium for all* Paul still has to hear back from BCI I'm sure! He's JUST as excited about this contest as we are, so I'm sure AS SOON as he knows he'll tell us 😉

But that might just be the rabies. On a side note: This contest made me realize just how little I've been drawing lately, and how much I enjoy it. |

Oh crap me too......but .I thought mine was leftover shaving cream!! You'd be surprised how excited Paul STILL gets over stuff concerning swords. You'd think he would be like a gynecologist on a first date......yay, just another...... Anyways he STILL gets excited over new swords, new sword ideas.......even "old" swords (but who of us wouldn't right?!)! At least you CAN draw. My "art" is stick figures.....and well, that's it! You should exercise that skill 😉

Okay guys, update time - and from the thread so far, seems a lot of you have (understandably) been waiting for one.. The team at BCI have gone over the initial 'long-list' (I can't really call it a short list with 26 designs making it to the second stage) taking a little longer than expected as right now it is all hands on deck to produce a shipment of new swords to arrive next month.. (including the sword that basically prompted me to think 'man, these guys could make some really neat battle ready fantasy swords' - pictured below).  SIDE NOTE: If you are interested in seeing all the behind the scenes pics, check today's post in the SBG Sword Store Blog Anyway, the initial feedback on all the designs has come in and I am now going over all the designs to narrow them down to a true shortlist, which I will be posting here on the forum before we pick out the winners, liaise with them to get clarification on stats, design specs, etc and flesh out a backstory..! It is not going to be a super fast process, but rather slow and steady - after all, there is an entire WORLD to build around these blades. So stay tuned - the next update (with the actual winners to be announced) is coming soon! :-) |
