Hudston

Looking good! I much prefer the first one, the crystal is more visually interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Vextrakt

Thanks for the comment, definitely going for the crystal version

Made some progress on the sculpt today:

Hudston

Good job so far, it's looking nice and solid! Keep it up!

Vextrakt

Progress on the wings/crystal Planning on making something more interesting for the center gem, and decided to rework the wing design a bit.

Hudston

Love it! Can't wait to see it with some texture!

Vextrakt

Thanks for the comments Hudston! Reworked the wings again, and found a simpler matcap xD

Vextrakt

Calling it done with the HP, added cloth wraps and little nitpicking.

Vextrakt

Haven't updated in a while, been a bit busy but got the LOD in game. Early stages on texturing, gotta figure out this mask business. Wings came out alright but I don't know how I feel about them being static in game with all the other animations going. Definitely something to think about on my next item

Thnk

Cool lookin' staff

Did you use alpha cards for the wings or is there some actual geo/thickness to them?

Vextrakt

I used alpha cards. Wasn't sure how to go about adding thickness without costing too much geo.

Thnk

Yeah, getting things under the budget was driving me nuts with the set i'm working on now. Definitely learned my lesson XD. Your staff came out looking pretty nice though, keep it up!

Vextrakt

Thanks Thnk! Figured out the masks today and finalized my color map.







Oh how I wish I could animate these wings

Vextrakt

Whelp, decided to make the orb version of the staff and just completely redesign it. Hopefully this one will turn out much better.

Vextrakt

2nd pass, going for falcon heads. Need a good center piece now to support the orb

Spudnik

The beaks don't really read as beaks of birds of prey to me yet, they're a bit too smooth and look quite docile. Check out some of these bad boys and see if you can adjust it to be a bit more menacing:

Vextrakt

Thanks Spudnik, went and reworked the head again. Suddenly... anatomy!

Vextrakt

Well, here's the marketing pic for my staff. Pretty happy with how it turned out despite my design struggles

BrontoThunder

Very nice!

Hudston

Love it! Great work!

Vextrakt
