Darksiders Inspired Concept Weapon

samwoodart

hey guys!

I'm working on several smaller projects to improve my design and technical skills. This one being, a handpainted weapon in the style of Darksiders! Boring, I know, but a great exercise. I'm a very amateur artist so I would appreciate critique!

Thanks guys

update! Cleaned up the linework. Not too sure about colour palette yet.

Work more on it and post it again when you're satisfied with it. Its barely readable as is.

Hey man, I know its going to sound really rough but one of the things with line art is you either need to show it really polished or show variation. Drawing one weapon without the use of reference in a flat perspective with no value pass or texture detail makes it really hard for anyone to provide feedback. Acapulco is right in saying work more on it and I think to kinda add to that is the comment to push it as far as you can, spend time on it as long as you're making progress and solving design, and then come and ask for feedback. It doesn't do you any good to get feedback on a step in the process that you know how to continue forward from.

It is the concept artist Avery Coleman who worked on darksiders and he explains the process and style of his art.
