Viper Sword:
A big sword that looks like a Spaceship, no body knows where it came, some times its throw bright balls that follow the owner.

I add how its looks in drops, I didnt know if I have to do the drop sprite or when you use the weapon so here is and weapons from SotN to Compare.

Jop's Crissaegrim (LoS Version) No one can use this for any other project!

By the way can i for example do some weapons from Curse of Darkness? there are in 3D so im going to make one in sprites, its that fine or not? (i dont decide if im going to make one but im curious if its okey to do that)

@Jop: I love the viper sword!
Well, as long as the weapons have no 2D counterpart, feel free to transform them.

Not done yet, but here's a teaser of the idle animation for a Lords of Shadow 2 inspired weapon for Alucard I'll dub "Heart of Vlad"

[Jop]

[Shiroi Koumori]

@105beta: That is interesting. I can't wait to see its final form.

@Jop: Done.

Perhaps this is going to be used in a project so no one can use this.
