Well, I guess that last post just kinda....went out the window, eh? But when you have a full time job and an 11 month old son, things get carried away and you tend to forget alot of things. But dammit, I just quit my job to head back to Arkansas after staying in Texas! So I have 64% more time to give to this club!!

So yeah, time to do what we were doing that made us so good in the first place. I like competition as im sure you know, so I have decided to start a new competition! More on that later.
Secondly, I will be looking for assistants to help me out when I cannot do my duties as guild leader. So if interested, come send me a note, and we will talk from there.


THE CHALLENGE:
Mediterranean Weaponry
From the Greeks & Romans, to Egyptian & Persian, the Mediterranean style has captured my eye. From the delicate curves of classical Italian to the romantic flamboyancy of the French, it has always been beautiful in any form or country it has to offer.
Your job in this challenge, is to take a Mediterranean country and use that countries own art style to create a beautiful weapon of your choosing.

RULES:
- You must tell us which country you are basing your idea on.
- Any weapon from any time is acceptable, from past to present,
swords to guns
- Deadline is Nov 28th 2009

TIPS:
Here is a list of Mediterannian countries you can use.

Albania • Algeria • Bosnia-Herzegovina • Croatia • Cyprus • Egypt • France • Gibraltar • Greece • Israel • Italy • Lebanon • Libya • Malta • Monaco • Montenegro • Morocco • Palestinian Authority • Slovenia • Spain • Syria • Tunisia • Turkey • Akrotiri / Dhekelia

Its a new year, and noone wants the guild I see. Well, then I guess I get to keep it. Meaning there will be some massive changes.

From here on out, this will not only be a guild to show people some art, it will also educate people on weapons and their importance in history, modern media, and so on. And dont worry, I wont turn this into Saturday morning school crap.

Secondly, all my rules will stay. I will be able to pick and choose what gets put up on the guild, and what does not. If I feel it isnt worthy of this great guild, then its not up. No more fanart weapons. Yes, we have all seen keyblades, buster swords, and gunblades. Now if your not going to do anything unique with it, keep that crap in the fanart section! But if you make your own unique piece, then we might make an exception.

Third, I will be bringing in new ideas. Firstly on this matter, this guild is going to be collaborating with my personal vehicular combat video game, Autowars. You dont have to join this if you dont want to, but those who do will get credited in game. What im wanting is everyone to come up with weapons for the game. I will post more on this later on.

Also, no more contests of the months, those seem to have just dwindled down in popularity. But dont fret if you do like the contests, for ill be bringing in something new.

So, in short, im keeping the guild, and dammit, im going to bring it back to life, and I need everyones help to do so. This guild can be one of the greatest guilds on deviantart, so lets not allow it die out just yet!

FOR THE GUILD!



STEP ONE - BRANCHING OUT
To spread the word of our great weapons and the guild, we have decided to branch out and join Myspace. So leik OMG, get those weapons ready to kick some teeny bopper ass!

STEP TWO - COLLABORATION
To show the world that we are actual weapon designers and not just people who draw swords and guns, we will be teaming up with my vehicular combat video game Autowars. What I need from everyone is to come up with weapons of course, from missiles to machine guns and special weapons to attachments, and anything else that can be thrown or fired from a car.

If you are interested in this, feel free to send me a message on that page. You will get full credit as a weapon designer, and your website posted on the game library.

Welcome to the Weaponry-Guild, a guild/club for fans of weaponry of all kinds here on DA. The aim of this guild is to bring weaponry fans together through contests and submissions.

Both sword and gun, past and present, fantasy and sci-fi, all weapons are celebrated here. From the tiniest dagger to the largest solar laser, if it can kill or maim, were about it.

Guild master :

As now is the season for friends and family to come together and give and share, we will do the same. If you would like to partake in this, just reply on here.

What I am wanting to do, is gather the various weapon artists of deviantart, and team them up in duets for a collection of highly unique duet weapons, showcasing the two participants abilities. I will match pairs together based on what program is used, as well as rendering styles and design ideas.

Not only will this be a great way to get to know one of your fellow guild members, these weapons will also be put up into the shop where the profits will be given to a charity for Christmas. So the more items made, the more chances they will sell, the more chances to help out someone who needs it.

WHOS IN:

HOW THIS WILL WORK:
Two artists will be teamed up based on skills, techniques, and programs used. Two 3d, two photoshoppers, and so on. I will give you eachothers info such as emails and messengers if you allow me to, so the two of you can talk it out and figure out a gameplan.

Both artists will team up to create the ultimate weapon merging. Bow and arrow, gunsword, morning star, or anything you can think of. You can pass the model back and forth, one do render, one do layout, pass a jpeg or psp file around, add onto that picture, one do coloring, one do inkwork if possible, and so on.

The deadline for this is December 20th, so we will be able to get the charities and have them sent out to who needs it. If you have a charity you would like to contribute to as well for the holidays, please, feel free to post it up here and we will see what we do. The more we can help, the better.

Hope to see you all soon, and happy holidays everyone!

Guild master :

Hello once again, long time no see. Well, I have returned from a long break, now with baby son Dimitri Cole in hand. I am extremely happy right now, and am ready to get back to work on everything, including the guild itself, in which I will be incorporating some new things soon. So be on the lookout for bigger contests, new projects, and even a weapon designers tournament coming soon, hosted by yours truly!

See you all soon!
