Stylized Hammers

Hi everyone!

I haven't made any art in a while, so I decided to practice some stylized stuff. This thread is a WIP, and it'll be updated as I continue.
Current Progress:

Focusing on the wood handle mostly right now:

I found a concept that looked easy enough here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/29679583/Props I figure I can start with the simple one and work my way back up.

Checking the bake, and starting texturing in Substance Designer:

I tried the low-poly rounded edges technique for the metal parts of the handles. I think it resulted in cleaner bake.

Polycount is really high for a prop like this, 1200 tris. But, that's not my focus at the moment.

Forgot to post the normal map:

Decided to toss it up on Sketchfab while I work:

Did some work on the stone tonight. I think I'm pretty happy with it. Not sure where else to go with it.

Well done on your progress so far. I think my most outstanding point of critique would be that I would like to see more of the 'hand-painting' coming through on the metal bands. They stand out as being flat, and it could do well to have perhaps some highlights painted on instead of relying on IBL to show the stylization of it by itself. Otherwise, great job!

Thanks! I'll remember that for the next one. Time to start the next hammers.
