Please tell me there was an entry that counters grabs.

"There was a Bo(ne)-Hiya by SEAN MURRAY" I know its a common name, but... Sean Murray? Really?

Man.. Oh MY, The Hand of the Rising Sun is stunningly gorgeous. What a beautiful piece of artwork whose beauty is only matched by its deadliness. I love, absolutely LOVE the visuals on that perfect, singular page describing the weapon and all it entails with a centerfold drawing that is simply majestic. Everything on that page adheres perfectly with every other part, and all those parts tie together with such natural fluidity and flow. Each part of the page, both descriptive and visual, adds so much without ever sacrificing an ounce of the cohesiveness. And the depiction of the sky lantern, at its peak height, in the center so perfectly encapsulates the creativity and how truly awe-inspiring this project is. This central visual went above and beyond the core purpose of visualizing the weapon and how it would be used; but this visual is truly a successful piece of storytelling with such attention to detail that you can understand the emotions and the fear that the enemy soldiers are feeling at that moment, and in that picture I feel the artist truly captured the essence of the entire game of Sekiro and took it even further with a weapon so unbelievably beautiful yet deadly, awe-inspiring yet also inducing a sense of dread for the confused soldiers blinded by a weapon so complex and fleshed out that they will likely be dead within seconds of the scene at hand. Not to mention the immaculate attention to detail that helped flesh out the believability of the weapon and establish its presence in the world of Sekiro. Looking at this image brings me back to the enthralling opening cutscene to Sekiro. I feel drawn in and heavily invested instantly by this portrait, akin to the grippingly powerful hold the game itself had on me. Every choice for this page is masterful, from visual perspective, to setting portrayal and the narrative weight given to the weapon. It truly invokes the sense of awe that playing Sekiro for the first time also invoked within me. And with Sekiro being one of my all-time favorite video games, that is a truly difficult fear to accomplish. But there is one visual choice that I truly love above all others in this picture; a choice which commands innate respect for how effectively it was executed & portrayed. And it affected me instantly from a subconscious level, drawing me into the painting on first glance and holding me there as it truly invested me in the world it built. That choice was too place the perspective of the painting at roughly the same eye level as one of the enemy soldiers that Sekiro is descending upon. It instantly directs your brain to struggle and try decipher the confusing situation that you are in with the perspective of an enemy soldier. Those soldiers do not have a fold out page detailing the complex and nuanced, yet well developed and coherent design of The Hand of the Rising Sun. They had just been attacked, and within a split second of that initial attack they were already being blinded from above by a Giant-Floating-Lantern-wielding Shinobi. Upon first viewing this portrait, I felt as though I were in the shoes of a third enemy soldier trying to prepare for an incoming attack like no other. And while my compatriots and I desperately tried to see through the blinding light and prepare for the Shinobi descending upon us from above, I can feel the speed and deadliness of the danger at hand. My vision begins to restore for a split second as one of my comrades is plucked from the sky and killed by the Shinobi. My sight returns just long enough to meet the gaze of my equally perplexed gaze. The Shinobi redraws his Lantern as quickly as he withdrew it to kill my ally, and he reaffixes the blinding light upon us as the reality of how grave our situation is sets in. Like a Hawk, or an Owl, masterfully plucking its confused, unprepared prey out of existence, my only other friend and ally is stripped of his mortal coil. We never stood a chance, and I truly feel BOTH the dread of the soldiers AND the unmatched prowess & deadly might of the Wolf Shinobi and his Hand of the Rising Sun. Absolute art. Absolute mastery. Absolute awe-wrenching beauty.

Dude how did no one do bottled lightning? The entire time I played ive always wanted to attack with lightning

is this official

holy shit, these are all beutiful and amazing.

Great video. My only critique is that some of your background videos had nothing to do with the weapon you were discussing.

I feel like the claw would've been cooler of it launched sorta like one of those prize machine claws and pulled enemies close only for you to follow up with a death blow

Amazing

17:51 😂 no enemies stand a chance

This is autism. Dude, you're bitching about the realism of a fucking fully functioning prosthetic arm created in ancient Japan that has dexterity functionality that can't even be replicated by state of the art engineering today. Why is this even being done? For 'portfolio shoutouts' and a couple hundred bucks? From Software isn't going to hire any of these guys and they're sure as shit not going to incorporate any of this stuff. Such a waste of time and talent.

Shut the fuck up you moron. They are artists, they enjoyed this challenge. Now fuck yourself.

It really would have been cool to have a Bow & Arrow attack like the main boss. Or even get his.

I would have loved to see something that would pin the enemy to the ground. Like, after deflecting, you could fill a small bar that when filled, you could preform a small attack in which you shoot a sort of rod into the enemies foot, pinning them to the ground and allowing for you to hit them multiple times before they can recover. To balance this, the enemy could counter with a devastating attack that you have to dodge out of the way once they are out of the pin.

17:51. 😂

#7 Kunai Harpoo. I know where the inspiration for that tool came from. GET OVER HERE!

Well done everybody

00:11 That would've have been an amazing way to include the Moonlight Greatsword

From Soft should add nr 1 to the game in october tbh

Just imagined tool like "Dogeon's batteries of lightning" that helps you unleash "Lightning of the Tomoe" while in mid-air or fill your sword with sparkles if standing on the ground which gives you chance to shock enemies after attack

it be cool if the saw blade in the start of the vid broke others swords whit enough blows

I like the trail blazer as I thought of upgrading it with a special moveset as the same as the longspark firecrakers when upgraded instead its starts with the sparks of the katana as it goes on it follows with a spin of oil igniting it around sekiro which could do fire damage is the enemies are too close but is near instead of fire damage they would sweat which distracts the enemie and lack of focus which another idea is that you can make a pillar of fire infront of an enemie which prevents it from attacking as the oil ignites it will try to take the shape of a pillar as the oil gets thrown up in the air

unsubscribed, didn't put giant rock on a stick in number one

Such an awesome event, I was hoping to see some ideas about Terror based prosthetics but this was done before the game released.

Praise the sun!👐🔆

Damn this is just ..... Magnificent!

there is a hand in new orleans they call the rising sun

17:02 wait a second...

I wish it was this cool in the game

One problem with the Hand of the Rising Sun is that you can kind of just insta kill bosses, unless it doesn’t affect them. And it removes the challenge from tough field enemies.

balloon OP pls nerf

Can we get a second sekiro game? I wanna see these things in action

This community should make Sekiro 2.

Praise the sun!

From Software better be taking notes for a Sekiro DLC/sequel

That moment when he doesn't draw attention to the fact that the Crow prosthetic's name was Eileen

Man if FromSoftware were to make Sekiro 2, they should use these fan prosthetic designs as their reference to create cool and powerful prosthetic tools in that game. Who believes me?

I was so engaged and excited with all these submissions that every time I saw gameplay, I got confused as to why the footage didn't fit the description. Fantastic work from all the artists!!

wheres part 2?

can we all agree #1 sounds OP AF

suprised i didnt see 1 the arm becoming like idk 99 arms like buddha style 2 atom bomb

I see a lot of Naruto reference

Honestly as blown away as I am by all of these, the word Parry-sol has just sent me into a fit of laughter and it wont stop someone send help

Kigwahahahhahahhahaha

The kunai harpoon reminded me of the hookshot.

Not gonna lie Everyone know that the first design just gonna make the game more harder for you

I love the 7,2, and 1

What if anyone from the development team sees this and if a dlc is going to be made, at least one of these will be included? I think that would hella epic, but would take some time for sure.

I like the claw at 2nd place the most only for the fact that you can grab an enemy’s face and blow it off with a cannon

If they actually added one of these in the DLC, I'd the love the game more

you should gather all the guys and start with making new games

i love this youtuber's attitude, great guy !!

So glad T.H.O.T.(r.)S. won!

Hand of the rising sun exists* Gun soldiers : im about to end this man's whole career

ROCKET PUNCH!

4:40 KUNAI AND CHAIN!!!!!

Great wolf cannon Wolf Protector Stealth... Do i hear a artorias influenced weapon?

Watching this video after the release of Sekiro is really sad. Because it shows that the community of the game was able to design better prosthetics than Fromsoft before Sekiro ever came out.

lol..kuni harpoon GET OVER HEREEEEE!!!!!

M O O N L I G H T G R E A T A R M

Write it down From Software. Write it down.

4:40 that gave me some bloodborne vives

I want to watch your videos on sekiro so badly but I can't since I haven't played it yet

I wish these were in the game 😭

that reveal of the rising sun prosthetic was pro

Anyone know what music is playing during the "Hand of the Rising Sun"? Awesome art work! I know this video is old, but keep up the awesome work!

No immortal blade follow ups :(

All of this just makes me wish FromSoft would’ve given us DLC and a few new areas for the game, possibly armor and a few extra prosthetics as well. I think FromSoft did such a good job with a Shinobi game and they should’ve kept going with ancient Japan themed games. Hopefully we’ll see more in the future 💯🦾

These guys are talented,i can barely design a scenery

How can i find all the other designs

I love the concept of the mechanics of the Hand of the Rising Sun, but I gotta point out two things as an Asian person passing by: 1. The idea of the Rising Sun did not exist in Japan in the Sengoku (warring states) era, which Sekiro is set in. 2. The Rising Sun symbolism is mainly associated with imperialist / WWII era Japan, and is offensive to nations who were victims of Japanese imperialism/aggression.

What about one that shoots a net? While fighting multiple enemies. You are able to shoot nets in order to tie down a few enemies and even the battle for a while.

Watching this makes me even more dissapointed about sekiro. : /

??

Oh my god! Where was the number 1 choice in the game! Do you even understand how helpful this would've been! FROM SOFT, please hire that man!

I'd love to see the upgraded versions of all of these.

the prosthetic yugioh dueling disk got snubbed lmao

shit, Ricardo, it's you agian !

Evelynchen 2020 every one named Ricardo are hyped

Isn't he just fabulous? :-)

There is, a house, in New Orleans...

Had a look at Ricardo's page, if wotc had any sense they'd be hiring him for card designs. they've been loosing their feel in recent expansions, no longer having a picture representing what the card does/is about. Artists like this could change it.

I think the tenth one could be useful for centipedes

なんかどれも悪くないけど良くもない。 はっきり言えばダサイ

Can somebody please translate this into English?

Where's the baby Yoda prosthetic

I say number 10 could have been something that when you cut someone in half the sight and the howl makes enemies terrified of you thinking your a demon. Definitely something I would use

These are hella dope

boss is time to die sekiro no is time to dddddduel boss eh ?

The Kamaitachi is like sekiros version of the whirligig saw in bloodborne

honestly these submissions give me my own ideas for stuff like what if a scythe allowed you to lift normal enemies into the air and then attack with a mid-air deathblow? also i made a sekiro cosplay in dark souls 3 where i used the whip as a grapple reference so that could be an out of the box idea

shiiiit. im too late

press f to pay respects to sekiro's left arm

Sub-Zero Chainsaw and a Rope-Kunai... I dunno why this sounds so familiar🤔

I got fucking GOOSEBUMPS

a full prosthetic arm bow (not like the crossbow, but more like a bow that slides from the top of the arm and lands in the hand for a single shot)? that would be very useful, and you would get to give Genichiro and Isshin a taste of their long range medicine

Sekiro need some expansions (DLC)

These are fantastic. Was looking forward to new dlc weapons:(

Fromsoft really should've asked the community! These are great ideas ^^

I feel so small as an artist compared to all of this…

Wow, amazing art. I'm a little late to the party, but my favorite work is probably the locust hive, at least the idea of it. There are so many possibilities to actually include that into the game in retrospect. For example it is one of very few that I can see having some kind of a special effect on a boss or at least a few mini bosses by stunning or distracting them, similar to the effect fire has on the guardian ape. It could also be a means of evading a fight by distracting a group of enemies. Furthermore it fits perfectly into the prosthetics upgrade system in Sekiro. I could imagine a trap upgrade (leaving a stain of pheromones or some kind of odor for the insects to linger around somewhere in the path of an enemy), a different type of insects (bees, maybe, while using their honey as a byproduct to slow down enemies), an upgrade that makes the insects swarm around and protect you (being active constantly for a limited amount of time) and so on. And lore would be easy to include, after all utilizing insects as weapons or traps isn't too far fetched to believe that the tool could've been used by a neighboring tribe or something along those lines. But that's not to say the rest wasn't really good, in fact I'm baffled by the quality and variety of ideas people came up with and how much work they put into it. Great contest, really!

Number 4 copied prince of persia 2008 by the main character s left hand using it the same way (Carving down walls )

Wouldn't number 1 make combat easy?

It would probably cost lot of spirit emblems, making it very hard to use frequently

Ngl we def needed the hand of the rising sun, too many deaths by falling on accident

I think the seed thing is the best
