[DS2] Axe, hopgood

hopgood · Mar 2012

After toying around with the idea of a mace with my concept art I was worried about fitting it into the poly budget so I have adapted the idea for an Axe. I am slightly worried about the non-bulkiness of the design fitting into the DS2 art style but for now I am quite happy with how it is turning out.

Good luck to all entrants.

Hey this guy looks pretty great. The theme is communicated incredibly well and the use of negative space around the chalice doesn't do anything to make the weapon look weak thanks to the weight and thickness of the horseshoe that the axe blades are connected to.

Great job so far. I hope to see this one finished!

Work in Progress on the Sculpt. This is my first time in Zbrush so even if the end result is not at the level I would like this contest has been a great opportunity to learn some new skills.

I think you're catching on but don't be afraid to really damage it up. Try messing with Clay Tubes and Planar and combine it with Trim Dynamic on the edges to really make it look defined. Good luck.

Work in progress on texture. Just stand in SPEC for now, nothing too fancy. I don't have too much experience with Hand painted textures so this has been a great learning experience so far.
