Crossbow and Bow2 (Elements Weapons) (Patreon)

Hi! Hope your weekend was pleasant. I've got some more assets today to share with you!

☀️ ELEMENTS WEAPONS SUMMER ☀️

Every Monday for this June and July, I'll have a new Elements piece, specifically focusing on more variety for weapons/armor/accessories for combat. I have a big list of requests and suggestions from patrons, so I think that this will be a really useful one!

Back Sheathed Swords 1 and 2

Back Quiver and Sheathed Giant Sword

After the event's finished with the full series, I'll compile them into the next expansion pack for Elements, and this time it'll be available as a patron pack (like we've done with other patron-event-collections).

Today I have two... (kinda...) new weapons!

I started with a new crossbow for today, based on a patron suggestion. Like other pieces, I included a few different color variants.

And then, as I was putting it together, making sure it lined up correctly with the original bow and arrow from the first Elements set, I realized that it would be a good time to throw in a "Bow2" as well.

The original Elements character pack included "Bow1", and today's "Bow2" is a simple expansion based on that one: it's just slightly wider so that it can have a little extra ornament details. I've also included more colors for it as well. Both the crossbow and the new bow2 are designed to line up with the Arrow projectile from the original core set.

If you're using the included generator, these go in the "Weapons" folder.

Reminder: Like the bow from the original release, these only use the "nock/bow" animation, so a bunch of the sheet is empty for the other animations (they don't fit very cleanly over the other animations; it becomes visually incoherent with all of the overlapping pieces). The idea is that they're best used an off-hand weapon.

Like this example: (this video is from the old test game, it's just to show how Bow1 works in action and isn't meant to demonstrate today's assets)

Anyways, I hope that these will be useful for you!

TI'll be back on Friday with something new, and then another new Elements Weapon next Monday before the end of the month.

Thanks for everything!
