One more Handpainted Weapon

Jakob Gavelli

Heya!

I would like some feedback on the material definition and the overall design/choice of color/etc, aswell as tips on how to improve the painted wood. The wood is giving me alot of troubles.

In hindsight the UV layout is really stupid, but, what do.

The handle is the most WIP so you can ignore it if you want!

Thanks for watching!

is that supposed to be some sort of stone?
I think if you tweak your darks and lights to have more separation it would help. Right now the colors are a little flat because of this.
The wood has red paint on it? IF so, you might want to check some reference on how paint chips, scratches and wears off of wood.
Would you be able to post the concept?

If the materials doesn't read well that's obviously an issue. I painted the concept myself, it was made for my eyes though so I'd rather not post it!

I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to the wood. It's supposed to look painted but it's very crude atm. I think I went ahead a bit early on the paint, before having proper values and an underlying texture of the wood.
