[WIP] #1 Glinstone Kris Dagger - research and blockout
polycounter lvl 3
Hi guys!
I have started a new personal project and wanted to share my progress so far.
Currently, I have finished gathering references for the dagger I found in Elden Ring. After finishing the long quest from Sellen, I was rewarded with that beautiful ornamental dagger and immediately wanted to make a fan art of it. I used a lot of pictures I took in game myself but also found some concept art online of both the sword and the scabbard.
In Maya, I made a slightly more detailed blockout of the dagger. I wanted to start adding a little bit of details now, as I know there's still plenty of details I will have to add later.
To keep myself organized I have made a roadmap of the project and set myself a deadline. The production of this dagger wouldn't take that long realistically, but I work a full time job so I'm taking into account the fact that I won't be able to work on it every single day.
Besides the blockout, I made a sculpt of a leaf in 2 versions. I will be attaching them later to the vines of the dagger.
Thank you to whoever is reading this post, feel free to leave any feedback so I can improve on it
See you later!

What's Next:
This is where the fun begins. I will be finalizing the basic shape of the dagger. Whatever details I can, I will add them now in Maya. Then I will start adding all the beautiful ornaments on the guard and handle in Zbrush.Thank you to whoever is reading this post, feel free to leave any feedback so I can improve on it
