Axes of Primal Rage


Gargantuan Brand of Cleaving


***old post***
Hi people

After doing some recent hand painted weapon stuff people recommended I make some items for DOTA 2. I spent yesterday playing the game and falling in love so I've decided to give it a shot and make something a bit safe and conservative to start with.

So to test the water I've decided to make some axes, firstly for Beastmaster and then maybe another for Tusk it depends how I go. I'm gonna post up some concepts, see what people think, maybe get some advice and then go from there

So here it is, my first concept sheet for a Beastmaster Axe, after many thumbnails I chose 5 and spent an hour colouring them. Which one do people gravitate towards? After a day of votes from various sources I'll get started on modelling

Vextrakt

Hey man excellent concepts! I think 1 and 4 are the most fitting for BM.

MdK

I think 1 is my favourite. Awesome style you've got!

Eden of Chaos

I would have to agree with them, 1 and 4 are very nice, and personally I love 2 and how you incorporated the Dota 2 symbol.

Optinium

From the various sources axe 1 got the most interest so here is the sculpt The low poly is also made with the LOD0 being 294 tri's and the LOD1 being 196 tri's, I'll be posting them once some of the texture work is done.

Thoughts?

Amazing sculpt!

Optinium

Thanks Vayne4800

Here's the realtime model thus far...



Diffuse and normal. Any DOTA 2 peeps able to give some feedback? Is it recognisable so far as a Beastmaster weapon?

MdK

Definitely recognizable as a BM weapon, great work!

Optinium

By far this axe has the coolest silhouette for the blade, I'm voting it up, good luck!

Optinium

thanks cottonwigs

Bernoully

I saw these axes right after I submit my entry, I thought those axe blades were pretty cool. Wished the reds in the bloomed thumbnail would be richer, though!

MagnoHusein

Nice man! Just saw your other weapons in a facebook group! Pretty amazing

Optinium

It is actually a nice blade.

Just when I thought of suggesting the red writings to yellow, boom there it is in the workshop! (Proud to have psychic powers)

Optinium

Thanks guys.

It was actually yellow/gold to begin with cottonwigs but before uploading the WIP image I was pissing around with the Hue/Sat and left it at red (I wasn't thinking clearly in my tiredness ). When I woke up the next day I had to change it
