i forgot to tell that certain ethnic weapons belongs to a certain ethnic group. eg, moros signature weapons are the kris, barong, and they also claim that the kampilan is theirs, visayans use kampilan, pinuti,lagwis, & gununting, while igorots are wielders of gulok, head axe, fankao & kayan spears and the pronged shield belongs only to them. visayan shields are diamond-like in shape while moro shields are round and designed at the outside with very similar designs with arab shields.

sir i am just concerned. i think u want to express a visayan bagani (warrior) or a pintado here (the other type is the moro bagani of mindanao which is untattooed). a visayan bagani's preferred weapon is the kampilan, the typical lapu-lapu sword while the moro bagani's signature weapon is the kris which is waved (if he is assumed to be holding a kris then the sword is not in the right form), the shield is very familiar to me (because i am an igorot myself) but it is held in the wrong way. it is never strapped to the forearm but held by hand because an igorot warrior uses the shield more as a weapon for striking, charging, and triping the legs, blades & spears are finishers. the three prongs should be the side that is above. there are many sites that has images & correct discriptions of the said tools.

Thanks!

I am an American Citizen of Filipino Blood & Heritage; born and raised back home in the Philippines. ;)

One of the character concepts (Bayani) in my game project is based on the classic Datu (chieftain) Lapu-lapu image. I'll post images of him as soon as I have a decent sketch done.
