[DS2] Mace, daphz

daphz

I'm hoppin' in! First thing, I work at Vigil, so I can't place/win so I'm doing this for fun!

I want to do a mace, probably in the maker style, My original idea was a big bearded face, with the beard draping over a rock. So I took that came up with this stuff:



I'm going to take the last one there and continue to refine it.

Dylan Brady

yes.
kings head on a spike, theres something awesome about the though of beating someone to death with a decapitated head

BrianP

nice! really love the face......just had a quick idea maybe each face could have a different expression on each side? but looking good so far!

MM

that is a cool idea but keep in mind that the scale of the heavy weapons compared to Death.

Bobo can correct me if i am wrong, but this seems like the heavy weapon size in DS2



king's head would have to be twice as normal size if you followed your concept.

daphz

thanks guys!

@MM yeah you're right, Here's a new sketch but i'll prbably still have to do a lot of tweaking

EiGHT

Yo, get rid of that horse shoe crown thing bro.Keep it like that sexy drawing at the bottom right of your concept sheet.That was spot on

afisher

Looking good man! Yea I like the concept in the bottom right of the first batch as well.

skylebones

I really dig this. It's got a really nice form to it. And I agree about the horse shoe. Can't wait to see this beast kicked out in 3d!

Di$array

Really glad you picked that design. But I think the outward pointing crowns from the earlier design help the shape of the piece more.

MissMaddyTaylor

I agree, the crown added a lot more interest (but I know where you're going with the horse shoe shape) :P Nice solid design!

Daedalius

I like the latest one

ScoobyDoofus

Hey Daphz. I like the latest, tho tbh I miss the nice taper you had on the head originally.

daphz

thanks for the input! here's an update



I changed the crown and got rid of the beard...hook...thingies? changed the handle a bit too. still needs some refining but im getting closer!

i'm using this screenshot for some ref, I want to try to use the same kind of materials.

naruSol

The beard bits made for a much more interesting silhouette. Needs something to break up that ovoid shape on the bottom.

daphz

blarg I need to organize my free time better.... anyways, I made lots of changes after some crit, and here's my sculpt so far.

Daedalius

Looking solid man, really like how the face turned out on the mace.

So chunky and solid!

Maybe some bigger damage around the edges/attacking side? If it is stone it may be a bit more chipped/cracked

STRIKER

nice wraps brah. yea, second huge damage!

AimBiZ

Nice and clean design. Would advise to make those bevels about twice as big though, for readability and to come forth better in the normal map.

EiGHT

Gawd bless the shapes of those faces man.I love love this!

daphz

thanks doodz! i'll post an updated on the maker mace tomorrow probably... but today I'm trying to bust out this weapon in a day, 5 hours in!

STRIKER

CHEA!!

MissMaddyTaylor

Woo! Gogogogogogo!

POFFINGTON

you know you wanna get on dat naaaooow

daphz

mmm guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl,
alright, 11 hours abour, here's the sculpt!



I changed it to a hammer after some crit from BoBo

i'm gonna scale up the whole top part, but zbrush didnt want to cooperate, so i'll do it in the low... some final tweaks then retopo'clock!

JFletcher

Awesome! I like the bottom of the weapon a lot, the crystal/rock shards look great. @_
