Demonic Mace

So, I was interested in joining in on the Darksiders II contest, and tried coming up with a concepts for a mace. I came up with what I thought was an awesome idea, but realized it didn't really fit the style of the game... On top of that, I've never even played Darksiders so it didn't feel right for me to join. No big deal though, I'm just gonna make this weapon on my own for fun. So here's the concept I came up with, let me know what you think!

I think it's very nice! You should replace the white and the brown and make it grey/metal and I think it would totally fit in the universe of Darksiders. You just need to make sure it fits with their template.

I'm no concept artist, but this is what I thought...

looks pretty cool. maybe try tieing the large skull into the smaller ones by making the smaller ones go around a rib cage implied for the larger skull.

Thanks for the input guys!

@theslingshot I do like the idea of making it darker, so I changed it to pretty much what you suggested. Definitely makes it look more demonic.

@Macattackk I tried out putting a rib cage, but it started to look too much like a creature on a stick to me... but I tried thickening up the "neck" area so it's more sturdy looking. I think it works better!

This is a little sloppy looking, but you get the gist. I'm thinking the little skeletons will be sort of embedded and combined... and coming out of the "neck."

I like the changes! Maybe look into the handle part...Maybe make it longer so the "character" can hold it without everything being unbalanced, cause right now you mostly able to hold that mace like a baseball bat.

some exemples...

If you want it to be hold more "normal" way..



Or, like it's design right now, I see it being hold like this...which can be very cool as well! But I think a lot of the details would be lost since the weapon would be close to the ground...


anyway...maybe I'm just thinking too far heh.
just my thoughts

I was actually wondering about the length of the handle, and I agree! I will look into changing that, thanks!
