Development - EXCALIBUR

Following the focus of some advice discussed in my tutorials, I'm keeping with the idea of universal characters, identifiable by their archetypes but differing in their specifics.

I thought a good place to start thinking about this was with the concept of Excalibur, the weapon of the hero. Lightsabers, magic swords, staffs, lucky pistols and demon fists are just a few examples of the way these weapons reoccur constantly through storytelling.

Loosely drawing these from memory was a great exercise in getting back to sketchbook mentality, killing your darlings and focusing on producing ideas rather than being hung up on clean refinement.
