[DS2] Axe, ValiantDan's WIP

ValiantDan

Hey everybody! Here's my Axe design, I've sketched out basics on paper, and did a quick block out in 3D.

Theme is : Kingdom of the Dead.

I've decided to go with the Core Theme, instead of Kingdom of the Dead.

LuCh!

nice, i'll like the idear of the blade stuck through the skull,
the tip of the blade is starting to look a bit weird though,
try to make it look more sharp, get some hard edges in there,
like in the example Darksiders Core axe the bone points still look very sharp

ValiantDan

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of putting some type of Demonic Text on the inner part of the blade, as for the handle, probably might go with bones rapped with leather strips, maybe cloth.

This is such an thrilling Contest.

Here's an update! I wanna spend more time balance the model for a bit, I do like the direction. I'm still going to add dark blue leather straps.



If anybody has any suggestions, I would love some feed back!

YAY!

ValiantDan

current update, Finished the bottom and began to build the leather binding.

I've added the leather strapping and decide to attach rivets on the leather to bind it better onto the hilt of the axe.

I've also modified the spine for Low Poly Count, Gotta keep it under 1500 Tris.

Maybe make the blade bigger?

look nice, i like the spine detail.

ValiantDan

Well that was a good try, I ended failing to bake high definition textures for the low poly model, I'm just not understanding or I'm not clear on how to make the transfer correctly.
