*Update*




Hey guys! I'm not qualified to win in this competition (argh!) but I thought it would be real fun to design and make my own weapon for mister Death. So, here are some starter silhouettes!

Keep in mind the handles will be much longer and after I choose the silhouette, I can mess with proportions. I'm going for Crow Temple style, so I'd like your opinions on which silhouettes read best and I'll refine more from there. Thanks! !

afisher

1 and 13 look good. I think 13 has the most interesting silhouette. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Frump

They all look pretty good. 1, 6 and 13 stand out most to me.

ENODMI

13 looks awesome. Its silhouette does however read like a sabretooth cat of sorts, but maybe itll be just fine when you dig in the details. Cool seeing someone do a Crow Temple

daphz

I like 13, 3 and 4... and 6 too!

SgtNasty

6 and 13 jumped out to me.

STRIKER

all are good to me!

EiGHT

#13 looks fierce.

BrianP

really like 1 and 13 for crow temple

JacqueChoi

7 & 13

^_^

you vigilites crack me up.

RoadKill2222

My eye went straight to 13. Great silhouettes!

OrganizedChaos

Cool stuff Maddy- I like 13 and 11. I'd like to see how you'd make 10 look more crowish too though. Crow temple's totally the theme I would go for if I entered this.

Dan!

13 stands out for sure- now make more!!

BlvdNights

I'm really digging 2 and 4. I feel like I've seen a lot of people doing ones similar to 1 and 11

ScoobyDoofus

I really like 1 or maybe 9 for Crow temple, personally.

stonedove

I'm really diggin 3 and 4. Can't to see the sketches.

MissMaddyTaylor

Hey guys! Sorry about this, but I'm gonna have to post a pretty horrible concept because I really haven't been drawing enough lately. So here is a "rough" idea of what I've decided to go for - something along the lines of a Maker's Axe dedicated to the Maker Elder himself. Onto the high poly! !

WARNING: Shitty concept below

Maph

Neato idea! But for some reason I'm thinking it looks more Angelic then Maker.
You should make that shaft a fair bit longer, as it looks a bit stumpy.
Loving the silhouette on this one though, and I've no doubt this is going to rock!

ScoobyDoofus

Hey Maddy, I like it! Are you planning on doing anything to the 4 gold cubes that result on the ends of your "blades"? Are they going to be sharpened, or blocky?
If blocky...why not add 2 more loops and make a cool Maker Mace?

POFFINGTON

I think getting some Asymmetry on this would be great, one side should be damaged maybe? Either way love the look of this, can't wait!

STRIKER

looking good!

MissMaddyTaylor

Thanks guys! I think I'm still going to go for an axe, but let me know if you guys think this could transfer to a mace as well.

So after I got home from work, I decided to sit down and I was actually able to draw something decent today! Here's an update on the concept! NOW it's time to move onto the high poly! ^_^

STRIKER

mUCHHH betterr!

EiGHT

Defiiiiiinitely transferable I think.

MissMaddyTaylor

Thanks guys! I'm gonna try to finish the basemesh tonight, might make an update then.

MissMaddyTaylor

My basemesh is nearly done. I have a lot of beveling left to do and adding in the small details - then it's time for the sculpt!

fabian roldan

This is going really well, can`t wait to see this sculpted

MissMaddyTaylor

Thanks mister!

Just did one of these for fun. I'm really happy with the scale. More details/sculpting to come.

Skyerzz

This looks so powerful! Only thing I would suggest is to shrink the eye shape in the middle of the handle. I'm just a little worried about it because the rules say that has to be able to hold anywhere in the yellow area. If it isn't too much outside of the proxy then ignore me.

STRIKER

SOLID!

BoBo_the_seal

Very nice!

EiGHT

That thing would put you DOWN LOLOL!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSS MADDY!!

YYUUUZZZZ!

beezul

lookin great so far!

MissMaddyTaylor

Skyerzz: Haha thanks! Yeah, I forgot to mention that I was going to fix that up. I made a lot of changes based on what I know how Death holds his weapons.
STRIKER:
BoBo_the_seal: Thanks!
EiGHT: HAHA YUS! & Thanks!
BetelGeist: Thank you!

I'm so happy you guys like it so far! I wish I had awesome concepting skills like everyone else here, but unfortunately I get stuck in a rut too easily :P

So here is the FINAL basemesh, tomorrow I shall be sculpting away with damage and an awesome Maker's head ^__^

fabian roldan

wow, great progress here lovin it!

Kraken

Nice shape! Waiting for more details.

afisher

Looking great. Love the chunkiness. Looking forward to seeing the sculpt.

Vectorius

Very good work ! i'm sure the final sculpt will be awesome, the base look already good. can' wait!:)

MissMaddyTaylor

Thank you guys!

I'm reallyyy going to kick myself in the ass this weekend and get this done. Almost done sculpting this central area, and all that's left are some simple wraps and the blades. Some long nights ahead!

Ignore the colours, they're nothing final. Just showing the separation of stone to metal and trying to make the sculpt a little visually appealing

pseudoBug

Awesome. Love this.

Habboi

A strong entry, I think you'll do just fine.

daphz

looks kick ass so far!

leslievdb

cool really like how you're handling those edges
can't wait to see this finished

jmt

Awesome work so far. This is how moustache men should be made.

BoBo_the_seal

kick ass!

BlvdNights

Love the shape and design!

SveinY

Great design man!

RoadKill2222

EiGHT

Gawd bless that shit.I love the detail work so farrr!!

POFFINGTON

MissMaddyTaylor
