Do you have a picture? I know Cable had one, but I can't remember what it looked like.
Yeah, I think it's just meant to be a spear, not a psimitar. It's a neat idea, though.
I know its a spear but a psimitar IS a spear. The difference is the ability to channel psychic energy through it which is what I want for Dani
As I've said, I like the psi-bow & arrows, as it's associated with Dani more than any other character (+suits & fits her, IMO). Matter of fact, when another is shown using it - briefly, mind you - it looks out of place to me. Like when I first saw this:
... my initial reaction was how much it made her look like Moonstar. So yeah, personally, I wouldn't want to see it changed & think it's great just the way it is. I truly feel like it's a signature thing for her, a calling card, as it were. Also believe it's cool as hell, besides.
That said, for those that are curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranged_weapon
True, but when it comes to her brand & marketing, it's important to keep it consistent. Besides, when it comes to ranged weaponry, I didn't find anything in that link that was as impressive as the B&A. I'm also not too keen on her becoming a melee specialist, as that's more Psylocke's territory, and I think distinctiveness is key. Blurring the lines leads to confusion, and interchangeability.
Truly, my adoration for Dani reached its climax when Dani was depowered. Her determination and defiance of others' expectation just slayed me.
But if Miss Moonstar were to have powers restored -- I'd be totally cool with a more passive "death sight" that rarely comes into play, maintaining that "I'm fairly ordinary but don't underestimate me cuz I'll break you" ooooor if we wanted to re-MUTATE her then I'd lean more toward the fear/desire "sight" and planting those images in the target's mind but maybe not making them full blown everyone can see illusions?
Regardless of her power levels, I wish she was used more these days.
I wanted some inking practice, so I did some more fanart:

Jeez, Arachne, that's VERY well done. I LOVE the eXpression you gave her, it makes her look so... knowing. Which is SO fitting. I feel like she's judging me, lol, but not like in a condemnation sort of way. Which again, is MOST appropriate, for the MAJESTIC Moonstar. Must say, I'm routinely impressed, by your skills. Tho this seems like a whole new avenue, and level, for you.
Thank you. I've got so many avenues it's not funny, but the difference here is that I used photo reference and was working on a larger scale than usual. Chibis don't need much in the way of reference and seem to work better on a small scale even though it limits detail.
I think I might try a Shatterstar portrait next.
On topic, I can't wait for SDCC to be over. I'm waiting for Dani news that probably won't come, and it's getting annoying.
Keep the faith, and the hope ALIVE! We must NEVER GIVE UP, on our DANI DEMAND(s)!! We want MOONSTAR BACK, Marvel, with her...
... MUTANT POWERS INTACT!!!
