Artifact Armors!

LOOK CLOSELY.

Those aren't harp strings. Those are ARROWS.

ARROWS.

You can clearly see arrowheads and fletchings.

IT IS NOT A HARP.

No...

You can shout it all you want, but no respectable archer would put bows on top of the limb like that -- it serves no practical purpose when you already have a quiver that allows arrows to be easily accessed. The ornamental design of the top of the limb, coupled with the fact that, by itself, it looks like it'd be a very gothic styled harp makes me put a lot more faith in it being a harp attachment.

Furthering the ridiculousness of this preposterous idea, those -strings- are less than half the length of the arrow the character is holding...

That is clearly a harp-type thingy attached to the top of the bow. Without question. Looks a bit weird, but wont knock it until tried!

II does seem weird, but mostly just because its a completely alien concept -- first thing I did when looking at it was imagine myself as an archer trying to play the harp after firing a shot... and it works out.

The most interesting part, in my mind, is the fact that the bow string would actually work like a giant bass note -- so that's pretty cool in my mind.

The thought definitely went through my mind too, considering a lot of current hunting bows hold arrows in a similar position. But they are just far too small. Also what seems to be arrowheads may just be empty space, while the top of the string is wrapped around the wood. Also the shape of it is just harp...y.

You're talking about side holsters, and those arrows are in a different position.

Additionally, most bow hunters use compound bows as opposed to Recurves because they deliver much more power for significantly less effort and make a lot less noise due to the silencers (the sound will -always- get there first no matter how powerful your bow is.)

The size of the character's bow is too huge for it to be a shortbow -- the wooden equivalent of a compound bow with regards to size. On a recurve longbow, the distance you'd have to sling the bow down to reach an arrow placed that high would be about the same, if not longer, than drawing from a quiver, which invalidates the whole purpose of having a side holster. My best friend and his Dad both bow hunt on a yearly basis...

similar, learn the word

similar as in upright and on the bow

my vote is still harp bow

Be less confrontational. I'm just sharing information on a subject I happen to have spent some time studying to help clear up people's confusion about the character.

And I agree, definitely a harp bow.
