Warhammer Elven greatsword - Handpainted PBR - feedback appreciated

DerpingTimmy

Hey, polycount! 

Its been a while since I did some hand painting, my guess would be about 3 or 4 years... its been too long! 

I've been working on this Warhammer sword now for a couple of days. its been a lot of fun but I would love to get some feedback or suggestions on the hand painting and the render mockups.

Highpoly and concept from Warhammer online

handpainted in substance painter and 3dcoat for final touches. 




I still have some work to do, like putting the edgewear in the roughness and other small things like that.

Feedback is wanted especially on the handpainted part. VFX is very temporary now as I am not sure if I want to keep it or not.

Hope you like it!

Little update.
Did some more work on the lightning, lighting and post.
I think this style fits pretty well. 


Feedback still appreciated

Handpainted or Stylized PBR ?

@Edgar T  Stylized handpainted PBR; with a focus on  handpainting in a PBR renderer to create a stylized look of PBR

Thanks!

Did some work on how I could improve the storytelling of the sword, got inspired by magic the gathering cards  

Let me know what u think.

Great work, I don't think these blue particles are that needed, because sword itself looks really great.

Thanks! I think so too so  Im planning to create clean renders as well, for the artstation post. these are just for storytelling purposes.

After a while of down time, due to some health reasons, luckily nothing major, I finally wrapped up the project. 
Added in some more story telling pieces but the rest is the same, so please have a look    https://www.artstation.com/artwork/6aRdJV

Created the breakdowns too for the AS post, 




so time to wrap this up and start the next project!

Thanks man!
It was indeed fun to see how far i could push painter to do stylized work. I did end up going to 3dcoat for the last touches but nothing what painter couldnt do, 3dcoat was just faster.
