Hand Painted Sword WIP

Hi Polycount, new here.

Trying to further develop my hand painting skills, based off the tutorial by Tyson Murphy.




C&C encouraged and welcome. Would like to refine this a bit before going on to the shield.

Looks good u can also add this to this thread it you want:

Might glance over that entire thread to get inspired for your next piece all your own from what you learned now.

Looks good to me, i'd look up similar pieces and see what they did, a few people have done the tutorial. Just a thought instead of waiting for the C&C, but continue, perhaps at the end of the progress you will receive more feedback.

Very nice!! One of the best I've seen for this tutorial! I think the hilt could use some edge normal softening! The yellow part of the hilt doesn't look like metal. I imagine that is what you were going for, right? The best example I could find at the moment was rafazanchetin's sword. Look at his hilt, and how much contrast he has on that material.

Yeah, his colour is a lot more rich looking too. Looks like I need to add more oranges into the pallet. Thanks!
