#weapon summon

Thanks to a suggestion from @hannesundin and tutorial #65 by @absolute-gimp , I learned to smooth out jagged shadows by changing the dithering settings!

God, I wish I could draw! Then I could properly show off how exactly Onyx summons his weapon and what the weapon looks like. Oh well, I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

As I explained before, Onyx’s weapon is a sword, double-edged for maximum punishment. The exact size, despite what I said, is not something I’m certain about. I think it is tall enough to be about half his height, how tall Onyx is being the problem. The only other details are the hollow circle large enough for his hand and arm to fit through and the purple rectangular gem embedded in the blade. He mostly uses the hollow circle for spinning the blade at incredible speed around his wrist, creating a catch-all shield for deflecting energy-based attacks. The gem is a peculiar oddity: it doesn’t power the sword, it doesn’t give the weapon any abilities outside of what Onyx can do to it, it doesn’t even make it look any more threatening. Only Onyx knows why it’s there and what it’s for.

2. Weapon Summon: What’s their weapon? How do they summon it?

BB’s cape isn’t exactly a weapon but it is a perfect camouflage cloth. When it’s outer layer is hit by light, it becomes invisible. In the shadows, it doesn’t exactly have such effect but could camouflage well with the surroundings, even if easier to spot than when out on the open space covered in light.
