It's been a while since my last weapon. I've been very distracted lately with Reinbeast.com, mostly talking about Fringe. I think only one post was about something else. I had to write some letters, specifically to Joel Wyman, John Noble, and Joshua Jackson. The last isn't finished yet, but shouldn't take too much longer. I also had to worry about submitting some of my stuff to the Fringe Fan History book that the amazing fans of Fringenuity are writing. I've also been spending time making icons and writing other posts.
So, it has taken a while to draw this weapon, even though it was the easiest one I've done so far. I was going to have a pattern for the handle as in the original, but I just liked it better this way. It's hard to come up with a design/pattern for every weapon, especially since I'm always itching to move on to the next, and I didn't have one for this, so I just played around in ArtStudio for a while until I got something that I think works.
