Hand Painted Weapons

Pixelatedkiwi

I felt like making some low-poly game models over the last week or so. I Haven't made any game stuff for a bit so it was fun to get back into and thought I'd share them here.

C & C most welcome

Soldeus

Great detail! Really enjoy looking at hand painted stuff like this, keep up the good work

AimBiZ

Great work! Might wanna reduce the contrast in the feathers a bit. Was a bit hard for me to read what they where from the start. Maybe a bit of colour correction wouldn't hurt as well, to unify things a bit.

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks guys

@AimBiZ , good call I'll have a play with them tonight, thx!

Nice work, the hand painted highlights really help the weapon "pop". And the colors, saturation, and contrast work really well together. Great work!

sybrix

Looks great! I agree about the contrast on the feathers. I also think painting in some shadows/holes where those rings are going into the blade would really help. Right now they are just sort of shoved in there. I feel like maybe the contrast on the sword could have been pushed a little further as well. Really a big fan of these, especially the scythe!

Jessica Dinh

Whoa, beautiful!! The level of polish is awesome x] Thanks for sharing!

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks for the feedback all, always good to hear what is working and what isn't

@sybrix, I have got some painted shadow/occlusion on the base of the rings at the moment, but its real subtle, I'll try bumping it up a bit tonight.

jeremiah_bigley

really awesome work man! I think the dents you have all over the sythe are too even distributed across the metal. Borderline looking like cow spots. :P

Great work though man!

Pixelatedkiwi

hmm now you mention it I keep seeing cow spots (either that or subliminal imagery from Jessica's avatar :P) I'll try changing the variation up a bit thanks!

Love the axe but they are both nice, It shows that you enjoyed working on them.

Pixelatedkiwi

I've made some changes based on your feedback, I've dropped the contrast on the feathers and made the metal fatigue a bit more irregular. I definitely think it improved it, thanks for the feedback!

Quickel

Looks awesome - thanks for the inspiration!

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks! glad you like it

Macattackk

looks really nice, well done. Id add the same stepping designs to the bottom gold piece that are on the top ones that clamp onto the blade, but thats a minor suggestion

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks! Yeah I did think about that but was concerned I might be adding too much small detail on such a small asset, I might try it out and see how it looks though!

low_seb

very nice texture,I like the design too
maybe more softness on the feathers

Noors

Shouldn't be (painted) holes where the gold rings get through the blade ?

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks for the feedback, yep painted holes would look cool, I'll put some on, thx

Pixelatedkiwi

Ok, so I painted some brass holes around the ring bases and put together a new image with the updated map from all your feedbacks. Thanks again guys n gals

Blaisoid

it looks kinda like wood blends with rings instead of going under them. wood also seems to have a lower contrast than rest of texture.

other than that it looks very good.

Fomori

These are great! Do more. I want more eye candy.

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks guys, yeah you're right Blaisoid the edging between those two materials could use a little more occlusion/contrast to separate them out - I'll add it tonight.

AimBiZ

You could pretty much call those weapons done. There's always something to improve but it'll be much better for you if you cranked out some new ones and repeat the process, perhaps even make a full character or environment?

Pixelatedkiwi

Thanks AimBiZ - Yeah Im gonna leave i there for those now, Im currently working on a small environment piece I'll post up some WiPs soon when I get more done.
