Hellooo! Trying to recreate various WoW assets to be at a more "current gen" WoW detail. So this is my redesign that I am now turning into a model. My goal to develop my texturing & concept painting skills, aswell as work on my ability to just finish more props.

Less talk, more art! Here it goes!

Step 1:  Put your polys on a box.

This is looking really great so far! Will you being doing a highpoly sculpt?

Oooooo.. I'm back with some progress! XD 

After looking at this, it's a tad bit too saturated, I think. Need to tone it down like in my concept. I got some feedback on my concept from BlizzCon so I will also be trying to get an overall gradient of light to dark in my values from top to bottom.



@Jakro
Sorry for the lateness, I will not be doing a highpoly sculpt!

@Elithenia
And Thanks!

It's done! Added a fake in-game screenshot for added effect.   
Now time to find another old WoW prop to remake!

This asset was modeled in Maya, painted in 3D Coat and Photoshop.
