So, a Zweihander?  I really liked making this one, the basic theme being an overcharged greatsaber that requires a lot more cooling power than your average hilt, hence the vents and radiators near the pommel. The large power unit allows both the power and size of the saber to be effective against lightsaber resistant materials such as Beskar'gam (hence the name), a fitting weapon for a Jedi defender against Mandalorian Crusaders. This is an inelegant weapon of brute force and size, more likely to be carried on the back than slung at the waist. |

Decided to get crazy and draw someone holding the saber this time.  Side note, my 6B pencil is much shorter now. |

Might draw just the saber in my usual style since I really like how it came out myself EDIT: I did.  |

This is an incredible design! ...Actually, it gives me an idea for its use in one of my stories...that is, if you don't mind  Let me just put it this way: this is the EXACT kind of saber that the Vhal'Dan Cataphracts would use! |

I was thinking about "Cataphract Beskar Zweihanders" for the character(s) in question Oh indeedy deed... :-) I was thinking of a slight modification: shorten the actual emitter and make is a single blade, with the cross-guard made of either Cortosis alloy or SongSteel.... :-) |

The idea here was to make a Zweihander which traditionally has the extra grip between two sets of xguards, hence the design. If you scroll back a bit your suggestions sounds pretty similar to the "Crusader" design I did a couple weeks ago |

might keep in mind for a future design. Next few aren't gonna lean so heavy on xguard i think. Good suggestion though, and definitely worth re-visiting! |

Yes, AGREED! I'd say that the guard underneath the sideblades would work perfectly as a reinforced cortosis weave (maybe a beskar/cortosis alloy?) At any rate: WONDERFUL design! "Beskar Breaker" was the name I came up with - but that was just a catchy title. Its your story so creative license on the name goes to you!
Thanks PS Oh: do you mind if I post the image of that design with the chapter? I will, of course, give proper credit where credit is due |
