Stylized electric weapon

Kumator

Hey guys

Here's my last personal project, an electric weapon ! I've been working on the concept for a while and decided to move into the modelling, using 3DsMax and Zbrush a lot (4R8 is amazing). I'd like to get a Heroes of the Storm style or maybe just a handpainted texture. I'll move into the sculpting phase pretty soon.
Any opinion and critics are very welcome !

Love the concept looking forward to seeing it finished.
High poly is looking great, im thinking you're not quite done with it yet though are you?

Lovely concept! I'm not sure if the cable (in the concept) that goes into the blade is breaking the shape a little bit but otherwise this is really promising.

Can't wait to see it finished :P

Here's a quick update with sculpting details
@kohg : thanks man! I'm almost done with the high poly on that update.
@VictorSantos : yay thanks Yeah you're right, I didn't keep the cable during the modelling phase.

this is awesome, I love the direction.  Cant wait to see if finished.  Are you thinking of using some effects for the electricity?

Thanks guys
@jose.fuentes : I've been thinking about it yeah, but I don't want to spend more time on it!

So here's the progress, been working hard on the texture trying substance painter for the first time. I'm pretty happy with the render so far, it correspond to the shading I wanted to get.

It looks wicked, I would suggest trying to get some color variation/break up in the large blade itself as right now it's very 'grey'

You could introduce a few reds (rusting, wear and grunge) or some metallic blues to compliment the orange/yellow on the handle would really help (only subtle changes though.) Nice one
