EDIT! New stuff up top! cause i know you're all lazy like me

DONE!!! WOOOT!!! Go sleep deprivation! Every sound scares me and my reaction time is cut in half!

These feel somewhat small, like they'd be great for one handed weapons but not for heavy. Bulk them up a bit and extend the handles and you may have something great. That being said, I enjoy the first one for matching DS style.

OH SNAAAAAP!

great shapes on that second one

Neat designs so far! Love the middle one, reminds me of a dragon, I love dragons
The first one has a neat skull shape and the one on the right definitely looks like an angel weapon. Looking forward to seeing how you progress.

JUSTIN!!! Hey man, fancy seeing you here Are you taking part?

praetus, thx man, yeah the scale is off i know. Just working on ideas.
Raven, thx dude!
OrganizedChaos, thanks man! I wasn't sure how suited the dragon was to DS, but I couldn't resist. But hey...if you like it then it cant be too wrong eh? hehe


Here's some more scale appropriate ones. I wanna play a bit more before committing to a design...concepting these is way too much fun! I could use some advice for which ones are working best though, as I probably have to choose my final one soon.

Cheers!

Idea 1 has a great silhouette but I think the horns could be thicker.

all weapon's head look slightly small for me except the 3rd one, but all of them look great too! good luck!

Cool, thanks for the feeback guys! Yeah i've been bouncing around on the scale a bit. Just noticed the QnA thread with the scale-ref so hopefully ill get it right next time, haha! Here's another one for now, with a few more comin along.

not gonna lie, this made me laugh out loud. Looks like someone kicked him in the junk. Those shapes are fabulous.

Haha! awesome...then Mission = Accomplished. Thanks man!

Here's another one, polished up the dragon one from the first set of thumbs. God...just got a bunch of Armin van Buuren mixes from back in the day. Why is trance from 10 years ago so much better?! Am i getting old? lol...

thats awesome! I dig the claw at the bottom and the big chunky teeth up top

and last one for tonight, whew! Crow temple. Doesn't quite fit the DS style i dont think, but i had fun.

Daphz, thanks man!

This crow hammer is awesome!

Yeah, holy crap that's freaking cool.

Definitely go with the Crow Temple one, but make the crow itself much more stylized. It's going to rock mah socks.

I think you have the makings of a kick ass crow mace.

- BoBo

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with BoBo here- really like those last two designs.

Oh and yeah, I'd imagine dragons should be fitting enough, there are those serpent type dragonish thingers in the trailer.

The council hath spoken! I guess I'm done with the concept stage.

BoBo, YES! Nice bit of concept jujitsu...that looks like it was supposed to be! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm totally doing that.

OrgChaos: Thanks man! I'm glad you like. You know, I totally forgot about the GIANT freaking dragon in the original...duh. I might still try to do the axe if i have time.

Inpw, suburbbum, Maph: Thanks for helping me decide...sounds like its pretty much unanimous!

Here's some tweaks and playing with the colors. Still a few more things I'd like to fix. Read my notes from the bottom up...just realized it's reversible...lol...

Love that newest design! The crow stuff is really cool, but a difficult design to nail down right. You got it right.

Lookks great man, but my suggestion is to be carefull when sculpting that claw if your not carefull becouse of how the transition between the hilt and the pummel look they could look more like roots rather than a claw, but then again who says it wouldnt look cool with it beint roots :P

Shwing! Print it, ship it. We've got a winner!

Awesome, thanks guys!

Blackstone: I agree, I've changed it up a bit last night. that part was bothering me.

So...I have a question, in case one of the DS team is around to answer. I was looking back over my concept, and was concerned that it does not incorporate enough of the decorative elements from the crow temple examples (the bevel and trim designs and abstract patterns). Is going for a more organic version like mine still appropriate, or should I try to incorporate some of that flavor to make it usable to you guys?

Thanks!

Man, finally getting some time to work on this. Took care of the basemesh. No real sculpting yet, just blobbing in the shapes. Tomorrrow or Friday I hope to have some solid shapes defined.

Great start on the model/sculpt. One concern might be the shortness of the handle. It looks more one-handed to me. Have you tried putting it on a scale reference image?
