               Great work Carcerian!

The more Dark Sun items you make, the more chance we have at getting it removed from the voting.

Keep it coming!

FP!

               @FP Lol, thx! (Actually I was the only one who voted for it this month, we'll see how it does in the future '>)

I do agree that Dark Sun IS a lot more than weapons tho, it has very unique armor, behemoth beasts, creative creatures, devastating dragons, mystic magic, awesome architecture, powerfull psionics, its own very cool take on epicness, and more!



That said, while 4e designers did some great concept art, as a nitpick, I wasn't
too crazy about the example of the boomerang, to me it just looked like a club
with teeth that if thrown would barely distract most athasian enemies at best...



So instead , we're going the Brom art route, and doubling that boomerang in the
proper Dark Sun weapon designer's fashion...



(...a "Doom's-Day" device you say? Ah, now the ball is in Farnworth's court!)



(The double boomerang, another throwing-axe variant.)






Colors include: Bone, Obsidian. Amethyst, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz.

               Is it possible to have access to the content of this challenge before that it be posted '> ? We are about to release a hak update.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Builder__Anthony]

               im just going to be honest here so .....i realy like alot of things youve made recently but the tevtures really suck on most things.I find that the models are doen and maybe you just went threw to the next model with out textureing things correctly.Its understandable but releaseing most of the newly created weapons with bad textures is a big downfall of this monthly challenge.As a builder i wouldnt use the models of more then then half the colors which brings me to instaling th e hak and adding tons of resoucres for things i dont need.Much like cep 2.1 theres alot of crap in there i dont use because of bad textures or just plain uselessness.
I know textureing takes a while but rushing threw things doesnt really help the situation.maybe you just dont like it i dont blame you its a bit of a hasssel.But i would rather have complete things then incomplete things i wont use.your a good modeler but i just hate to see unfinished work.please pick something to add to the challenge that is complete instead of a bunch of incompletee things.sorry just being honest ,
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               Wow, ummmm ok, thx for your honesty? (Personally I don't feel they all "suck" but thats just me.)

Any specific examples beyond the first three things I created that need work?

               I don't think your weapons suck, but some of them really could use better textures. I mean all those weapons that use one texture for the whole weapon. They'd look better with different textures for the hilts, especially textures that aren't just one colour.
Leather with some details would be nice.
So it is mostly some weapons that need better textures with more details while the models themselves are really well done, but there are also models that aren't so well done. Those are the staff of mirth and so on which really need better handles or grips or whatever that part of the weapon is called. Those bright colours can cause eye cancer:P and it's not just the colours but the whole handle.

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               Thx, now thats actually more a bit more constructive.

Handle textures are tuff to find for sure, but will see what I can do '>

(I do agree there is room for improvement there.)

As a note the screenshots for the monster head staves just use the spellshard handles because I got
bored with using the bioware staves for screenshots...  (And yeah the bright colors are not for everyone)
The spellshard ones are simple giant crystals (hopefully they look better ingame than lo-res screenies).
The heads themselves are aligned so that they can be used with any standard staff middle and bottom.

               Carcerian: Not sure when Rolo Kipp will get a chance to approve the entry, but I just uploaded the textures I made for my Project: Reforged to the Vault.

It includes four "leather wrap" textures and four "wood" textures that are good for weapon handles.  It also has metal and gemstone textures that might look good with some of your models.

Many months' entries end up getting updated later on the Vault (in a "version 2" update), so if you decide to improve on your models, I see no reason not to if you find the time.

Edit: And, yeah, I also like many of the models you made for this month's challenge.  I look forward to seeing more original things from you in the future.
