Hey guys!
This will be the first polycount contest I'll be joining and I'm hoping to learn a lot from this experience.
I'm not sure what to make yet, I've made a few rough sketches of axes, hammers and maces and I'm interested in knowing which one you guys prefer.



A. Fallen/corrupt angel with broken wing. This is a demonic asset so the angel will look more demonic than angelic.
B. Dragon/demonic creature head
C. Demonic queen head statue thing
D. Demonic sheep skull
E. Possessed hammer
F. Double-bladed scythe with crow theme
G. Crow scythe
H. Bone scythe
I. Crystallic monster tied to a stick
J. Demonic creature mace.. or something

Habboi

I quite like E with the eye. Might be cool if the ends of the hammer had teeth like spikes.

Di$array

Gotta be C for me. It an original take on a weapon and you've got some strong lines there that will make a great silhouette.

Shigebon

I paused when I saw C..
and just to make sure i dont think competition has scythe on it..

LRoy

Some strong designs here. I think C is the most interesting.

Saman

Cool, thanks, guys! C it is then. I'm thinking of having her head-dress form horn-like shapes for the blades and have the same face on both sides like a couple of Siamese-twin sisters or something. For the cloth design I'm going for something like this;


And for the facial expression I'll go with something similar but more subtle version of this;

Kurry

Liking C aswell, also like the flow G has. Cool stuff

Saman

Thanks, Kurry.
Ok, I got the flu when I came back from SF so I haven't managed to do much work. Feeling a bit dizzy as I speak. But here is the final concept I came up with;

artstream

Man, it seems like a lot of people I know caught the flu after GDC. Glad I didn't carry that back with me. Hahaha.

I like what you have going. I'm going to pass on some feedback I got on my stuff, you might want to make it less frail and more "chunky". Give it a bit more weight, these are supposed to be heavy weapons for Death, so it should look like something that has a lot of OOPMH. The design is really cool, I just think it needs more power to it.

lol I got that flu on the plane back...was pretty hard to keep it together. At least I had an isle seat. Nice looking stuff. My suggestion would to be to have the blades sweep down a bit more. As of now it kind of looks like one of those pendulum blades.

Saman

Oh nice, some feedback. Yeah, I'll make it more chunky and sweep the blades down a bit.
@Dylan: I've gotten a bit better now though. I've been having feverish dreams about sketching and crunch cast. Glad all of that is over now. Are you doing any better?

Saman

I decided to go for a more "infected demon" approach to this. I added eyes to the blades since her eyes are covered and I made the whole axe more compact and heavy looking like artstream recommended;


I wasn't planning on finishing this at first but now that the flu is pretty much over I think I'll try and finish it in time.
