CHALLENGE: Wacky Weapons

Create a sprite of an new and original weapon. Your sprite should depict something intened to be a weapon, rather than an existing object just used as a weapon (so a frying pan used as a blunt weapon wouldn't be acceptable).

You're strongly encouraged to think outside the box, so try to think as creatively as possible. Examples: an angry hedgehog on a stick or a deadly moustache.

Canvas Size - Max 150 x 150.
Colours - Max 20.
Transparency - Required.
Animation - Optional.

Tommyboy, that seems way too large to be a sprite, you avatar is a good example of a sprite. Also the canvas size limit is 150x150. Sprites are usually small, nothing but a static object or character. like this

also, I think a lighter counts as "an existing object just used as a weapon"


I'll post mine so far for the lulz

not too inventive, but w/e

Nah, you got it right. Neat idea.

S.P.E.R.M. (Super Powered Erection Ray of Multiplication) A ray gun used to impregnate your enemies! All you have to do is repeatedly pump the bottom part like a shotgun until it's fully loaded, then a burst of nano-molecular cells and sperm explodes on, and into your target. Using advanced technology, this gun not only impregnates your target, but speeds up the pregnancy sperm build-up process, making your enemies either die in pain from birth's process, or rendering them unable to do anything of aggressive nature (aside from screaming and yelling mean statements) until the baby is born. :D

Ha ha, Mine would probably be pretty painful to smuggle in, but here is my WIP

What do you think? I call it the Air Hornet.

Poor cat. Haha that's great though, kinda reminds me of a Nerf with the neon scheme.

Why isn't toy's animation entered into the weekly challenge :O?

Hopefully this one is in the rules. Big ogre-type guy using a chain with a skull at the end of it.

Here is mine, my first ever pixel art so understandably its pretty amateur, but I thought I would give it a go. Also my first ever post here at pixeljoint.

The color blinder ;)
