[OLD POST BELOW]
I've been working on this for a while. It is based on the concept by Daniel Solovev: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1wWm8
But I modified it slightly so that it made a bit of mechanical sense (not too much tbh) in a way that I could animate it later.

So far I have mostly all the booleans figured out. I'm trying to keep all the workflow inside Blender to see how it handles it.

Any feedback or comment will be highly appreciated!

Smoothed HP inside Blender. Happy with how it is handling the polys so far. There are a couple places where you can kind of see the voxel remesh artifacts, but I'm hoping for it to be hardly noticeable once baked and textured.

LP done. I tried to keep it fairly detailed, falling a bit over 12k tris so quite happy with it. Not sure if the small bevels in the hammer pieces will be visible at all though...
I also did some bake tests with auto UV and I am quite happy with the result so far apart from the artifacts from sloppy UV's.

Took a couple weeks off but here we are back at it again. Proper UVs and bakes are done. About to get into Painter.
C&C welcome

Starting work with the base materials. Not sure if I should go 2 colors like the concept or full black...

Made some progress on the slide. I'd love to hear some feedback as I am starting to get a bit "blind" from looking at it so much.

I also tried adding a slight color variation to the metal slide, with a subtle blue>magenta gradient towards the tip, but i'm not sure if it makes sense or if it looks right?
