I drew a crossbow today. It could be more detailed. I'm not sure about the composition either, maybe it should be a little more tight. If someone is willing to composo this differently, I can PM a version which has the whole weapon in it and with all the layers. Just ask for it.

Pekka - the crossbow looks good, and I think the composition is fine (trying to compose a crossbow, like with bows, is a bit of a tough call). You're right that it could perhaps use a bit more "detailing" - additional hardware, etc.
I'll take care of it soon, hopefully.
Still on my plate of "tweaks to do" are this, the water-spray, and the morning-star.
Here is an icon for the poisoned knives thrown by the orcish assassins/slayers. These are meant to be more like throwing "shards" after a fashion; not much of a handle on them, and they're quite poorly made. The orcs just take flat chunks of metal and pound the edges into being sharp - the objective, like with shurikens, is not so much to injure someone directly with this weapon as to simply lacerate them enough to distract or poison them.

Most of these have been truly amazing, but the poison knives just don't look like anything to me.

I agree, those belong rather into the scratchpad thread. The idea is nice but I had to go very close to the screen to recognize anything and even they didn't look on par with the other attack icons. Perhaps using only one shown in more detail? And perhaps distribute the poison more on the knife without increasing the amount. Looks way too much especially on the lower knife, this would be rather dangerous since the thrower would most likely get a few drops from it on himself.Darth Fool wrote:Most of these have been truly amazing, but the poison knives just don't look like anything to me.

I tried editing pickslide's icon, but my hunch about how it could be improved failed.
So, here is another potential icon for waterspray. This one takes a much more close-up view of the water, and suggests more the ability of the mermaids to move the water at will, since it's just a picture of a few drops of water floating in midair (and sparkling).
What do you guys think?

Also, here is a very slight, and only of mild necessity edit to pekka's crossbow - I thought it needed a bit more of a complex pattern of lights and darks, so I added a sight, which was a common feature of later arbalests.
This crossbow is the human version; we're likely going to have to come up with something a lot more crude looking for the orcs.
Pekka, if you have no objections, I'll commit this when I have a chance.

Regarding your edit of the crossbow, I don't see that it really adds anything, just a bit of visual 'noise.' If you want some more detail why not add a Windlass or Ratchet...
