never played the game but ive seen the concepts, maybe something got stuck in my head
its a doom sword, for a name was thinking either Igneous Brand/Glaive or Rock.
the texture of the blade part should be something like on this picture, its actually a cooled down magma, which forms this shape, called igneous rock or basalt.
Do you let other people try and model your designs? I'm a quite new artist and would love to try and model from your concepts to help me along, may I?
Thanks.
EDIT: I may have already started working on the model... Don't worry if you don't want me to carry on, was fun just using a good concept.
This is where I've got to. Spent 335 tris, can probably shave off some more. But I don't know how to create those indent/nook thingies, any tips?
(Don't know if I should move this, kinda hijacking the thread a tiny bit.)

hey there, yea i occasionally put concepts here for modelers to work on, but only if i agreed first.. you should have really waited first before starting on it, cause the concept was already taken. Was out of town so havent seen your first message. Anyway its great that you wanna learn, but ive had some other free stuff if you wanted to work on.
About the model, im not experienced in 3D only know some stuff from watching but as overall the shape is there, maybe you can cut out some polys from the top part and make the sides fatter and form the 3 cracks on the edges, also the armor bits should be closer. The dents can be made with sculpting in Zbrush, you should try it out if you havent.
So.. you can either continue to work on this as a practice or you scrap it while its early and i can paint you up some new stuff?

Ahh, that's okay. Was really fun using a concept because I usually just wing my own ideas and get stuck quickly. Don't worry about it, I like the design so I'll probably carry on fiddling as practise, but I look forward to see some more of your designs. Hopefully if i check this thread enough i'll get first pick, eh? Would love to collaborate with you thought, thanks anyway

Alright, i do requests too so some stuff are already taken before posting here :P I tend to post couple of sketches or silhouettes too, so if something catches your eye tell me and ill color it up! Yea, sorry it had to turn out like this, collab sounds good.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. You made great basemesh! how what you need to do is bring it in the Zbrush or some other sculpting program. There you can add detailing on the blade part and merge the armor bits near the handle in your mesh. After that, via some retopology magic you can turn the armor plating in one, solid chunk and add the slits via texture+normal. Also, some of the edge detailing could be done via alpha maps, much like one of the bounty hunter shurikens.
started this set yestreday, was going for a conjurer/cultist/sect theme, a bit darkish
gonna work on this with pixelshoo
heres some concepts so far, need some feedback on the backpack and armor part, not sure which one to choose.
The shoulder has a nice shape to it but I feel it might end up being too clean ingame. Since it is a notable piece, I suggest adding more detail to it. Otherwise, really nice idea. That chest especially!
Pretty cool stuff! Bones and skulls won't fly in China, but I really dig that Warlock chest piece. I also really like the skull bag, despite that whole "no bones in china" thing.
thanks guys @Drywall yea, dunno for china but i had it as an idea that from the backpack bull skull he summons the golem. Also there are already some sets ingame with skulls so... i guess they are not available in china.
Im gonna take a little break, semestar is starting so i thought to post all concepts i made with past collabs, soon to be done and some that didnt make it. Thanks to Spud for the concept sheets!
I really love the painterly style that you manage to get digitally! (particularly the Slark blades, prophet summons and the boar) any tips/tuts you could point us to?
@Ponyplop
well i usually use a round brush and play around with the pen pressure and eyedropper tool (while holding down alt key), but ill try to make a tutorial to show it more clearly
@MagnoHusein
thanks man @Goeddy
well thats a pretty old concept, and as shock said heads are not allowed. I got my hands full right now, maybe some other time. @DestroyerGR
Yes they are and yes i can
so the first wep is a corrupted radiance for doom, godzy is working on it, second is also a doom wep for nannou and the third skeleton king wep for mr pinkman
drow set, doing with mech
and a rubick cloak for the monthly comp, still in the making, this ones for vayne
So since almost everything is pretty damn awesome, and the guys have confirmed that, I'm just gonna list the things which I don't like which would be the pelican courier (too simple in the sense that it's a something I'd expect in a real life cartoon) and the first AM set (love the idea of defensive/aggressive side but not a big fan of the particular concept, especially the pants but also the demon faces )
@Vayne, im thinking of doing couple more, for shapes, silhouettes etc.. @Frump, yeah prophet is working on it atm. @timu yea they are too @Spud yea i think ill rework the pelican a bit to feel more "dotish", about the am set it was rushed a bit so ive already got some changes planned for it, ill remove the pants and i did the demon faces mostly cause of the new year beast event so you can see its head on the shoulder and other parts like trophies. Thanks for the feedback. @Sukkoto actually the tide claws are free, there are couple more versions of it, i can send em to you if youre still interested.
sorry for the late reply, you can find all hero concept sheets on Spuds thread, http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124501
usually i select the end tips, grip and head of the weapon.
well you should mostly practise your line and shape and try to keep it consistent, but there isnt a strict rule, you should draw as much as you can and youll see the results over time
Fresh concepts up for grabs, if someones interested in the wk weps lemme know, ill color em up.

yeah because the particle effect is located there, as soon as his particles can be modded i'm pretty sure this dogma will shift

@Sukkoto actually the tide claws are free, there are couple more versions of it, i can send em to you if youre still interested.
I hope you'll do more guides
How do you get the photo of the default item for the concept?
And by which parameters do you make the proportion lines?
and by the way, if I want to get better in concept arting (mostly of items) what exercises on paper should I do?
Thank you for everything and have a good weekend
