WEAPONS COLLAB!!!!!!!! THIS WAS SO SO SO FUN i so enjoyed testing out all the stuff i learnt about character design over this last year, and seeing everyone else's creativity on display was SOO AMAZING ahhhhhh also this was rlly rlly challenging for me it took ages and reminded me i need to lock in for composition!!!!!!!

ANYWAYS i designed the meteor hammer, and i had so much fun w the colours n themes i was going for that i got a minghua design out of it!!!! 

my iteration of the meteor hammer has an astronomical + musical theme, cos, u know, #hidwellcanon , alchemies of sound and light and space, half bell, half spiked flail, as planetary as i could make it without going completely off the rails. i rlly wanted him to have a pronounced kinda hourglass silhouette to reflect the meteor hammer's weights + duality, hence the disjointed sleeve!!! i liked the alt design i cooked up for this so much i recycled it into minuet (last slide)

pls swipe for all the other weaponlings ok the character select screens r so so so so cool

so quick tldr abt design: khopesh was a weapon used by ancient egyptians and is a variant of a sickle! it was mostly used by warriors (sometimes depicted in their artworks of warriors/war). the khopesh is known for its lethality because there's multiple ways u can wield it to disarm opponents by hooking their shields then stab (i think). and relation to birds i guess is like the symbolism and importance of hawks/vultures (and other birds like ibises) in egyptian mythology, so i went with the like blood covered face of vultures and the regality (??) of hawks. for the headpiece i was wondering if i should do the vulture crown but i thought the 4-feathered headpiece is more unique (onuris, god of war, is depicted with this headpiece). and also the solar disk and horns & ankh are common symbols. that should be it i think🤯

sorry it's a little rushed... i'm literally juggling with my head on the balance bro my academic life is not academic-ing.😭🫩 it's literally been like 3 months since my last post holy inactivity 😭 im like barely scrapping through uni bro im literally crashing out barely alive... on the bright side, i'm finally done grading the entries for my dtiys and am now doing the post (which is going to take hella long...)😭👍 anw hope y'all like it and i'll see y'all in more months to come ig 👍
