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.
