The 2017 Scimitar of Hoth competition is coming to a close, and with it will be an overall winner who will be fictionally granted a ceremonial blade to carry until the following year. Thus, we decided to give our members a chance to design this weapon themselves.
Your objective is to design a sword (a scimitar would be preferred, but we’re open to other designs) in an original piece for the winner to carry with pride. Valid submissions to this competition will earn the entrant a bonus of five (5) points to the Scimitar of Hoth competition.
Entries may be completed through either digital (computer) or traditional (pencil and paper) artwork, or a combination of the two. Original artwork is preferred, though if you choose to use photo manipulation of a fairuse piece, please link a source to the original piece to be considered valid. Any standard image type (.jpg, .png, etc.) may be submitted through the site. Grading will be decided using the DJB Graphics Rubric v2.
An example of how I would design a weapon would involve pencil and paper, followed by inking the lines and color; this Warhammer was completed using sharpies.
