Hello friends

I want to present my post giving thanks to @slothicorn and @elhprojects for hosting this incredible contest, which allows many artists to develop ideas.
VISIONARY ART CONTEST
A few days after the contest ended, I decided to make my entry.

he contest is based on the following:

Contestants may submit 1 entry, choosing from the following 3 categories:

1-DESIGN AN ALIEN PLANT
2-DESIGN A HYPER-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT
3-DESIGN A DIVINE WEAPON.

The category I chose was to design a divine weapon... But why?

• Because for the kind of works to which I am accustomed the alien plant did not meet with me, the Hyper-Dimensional object I do not know, it did not attract my attention, instead the Divine Weapon I liked a lot because I love the fantastic stories and those super weapons decorated with details.

I chose to make a bow which I called CRIMSON FEATHER, based a bit on the Aztec culture, to detail it with feathers and representative elements to it, besides the name was perfect for an Arch.
A sword is a little trite although they are visually attractive and when designing them you will learn an endless number of decorative posibilities, but no ... I wanted a bow!

Very good as it is a divine weapon, and contains fantasy, invent my own story, a little short because the post is not to expose a story but the design of the weapon, but let's see where it comes from:

"In the Aztec culture there are warriors called "Eagle Warriors" These warriors are very powerful and not any soldier can become one.
The soldier who manages to stand out among all optates the title of warrior Eagle, for this he needs the approval of GOD SUN. The most powerful deity of this civilization.
GOD SUN grants part of their immense power to these warriors, blesses and spiritually accompanies them in their battles.
Centuries ago there was a legend. A warrior who wore feathered attire, nobody knew his identity but what everyone knew was that he was a very powerful warrior, which could defeat other gods that sought to dominate the lands of his civilization, gods that used weapons very powerful and capable of knock down any man with a single shot, weapons never before seen by the Aztecs.
They would lose their lands so this legendary warrior went to the temple of GOD SUN to pray and ask for help, which was heard and rewarded for his fervor, courage and love for his peopple.
Additionally, GOD SUN blessed him with a weapon capable of defeating other gods, an Arc with the power of gods, called CRIMSON FEATHER.
Bright and with a divine glow, emanated the strength and warmth of the sun.
The legendary warrior fought and won the battle away forever those gods that threatened their civilization.
Since then nothing more was known about the warrior and his powerful bow ...
Currently the Eagle Warriors are preparing to be worthy of the CRIMSON FEATHER, as it is said he returned to the hands of GOD SUN ..."

This story is merely fabricated by me, I really do not think there was a legendary eagle warrior but everything can be possible ...

Design:

Design the weapon using a traditional technique, with graphite pencils.
The tools I used were:

• Mechanical Pencil.
• HB, 2B, 6B mines.
• Moldeable Eraser
• Diffuser.
• Brush.
• A4 Opaline 180G.

Here I show some images of the process:

The initial sketch had some adornments that I thought would look good, but I decided to eliminate them since loading it would make it attractive and finally this was the result.

It was very fun to do this work, go imagine the history and battles of the legendary warrior while he did it.

I hope you enjoyed my work, and thanks again to @slothicorn and @elohprojects, they do an incredible job supporting the artists of the community.

Until the next time!.
