[DS2] Mace, Ziggy

Ziggy

Hi there everyone!

What a great contest, and what great amount of work is already in works. Very inspiring .
Well here is some ideas I have been working on. I tried some maces and also an axe just for fun. My favs so far are nr 2 and nr 3. Let me hear what you guys think. Crits are welcome!

#2! But I feel that #1's pommel echoes the shape on #2's head a bit better~

Crymsix

I really like number 2 but is there anyway you can break the symmetry on the weapon?

I'm thinking that if you break the symmetry than it will make the weapon a little more dynamic.

2 and 3 kick ass!

I love number 3 Just the idea that you'd be running around using some demons jaw to kill other demons is awesome

I'm starting to feel like I'm the only person not capable of drawing demon heads

Ziggy

@I-am-Albie Thanks! Yeah now that you mention it, I feel like I should try and see how nr 2 looks with nr 1 pommel

@Crymsix Thank you ^^ yeah i thought about that, but then I feel like the angelic sets are more structured and refined than demonic sets. Symmetry = order and asymmetry = chaos. But I might try doing something with asymmetry to.

@BoBo_the_seal: Thanks Bobo! Awesome work by the way with the live stream and the contest. Learned a lot by watching you work.

@MeintevdS Thanks! ^^ yea I like the idea also. I bet if you try making a lot of demon heads you will get to one that looks right. Just practice and have patience ^^

I'll try doing some work later tonight after work.

Despite the number of demon head weapons I've seen so far in this comp, I would really like to see 3 or 4 turned into a weapon. You'll have to scale your handles up a lot to fit the proxy provided.

2 and 4!

Did some work on nr 2. Decided to put in some asymmetry and doodled in some color. Hope u like

Cool progress. I like the one you picked.

It seems like most of the shapes for DS2 are very angular. The crossing wings is a cool idea, but id say try to work it in to be more blocky or jagged with less bubbly curves. Plus it will have a more blunt mace-like feel if its bolder.

Ziggy

@kennyMcb Thanks for the tip and I totally agree. I'm going to put in more of those angular shapes in my next iteration.

Orb

ho nice! really cool addition crossing the wings imo!

Ziggy

@Orb Awesome! glad you like it!

i think I'm done. Might do some tweaks in the modeling process. Hope u like

Really cool concept and colors, but that shaft is way too small man. What you have right there is a single handed weapon rather then a two handed behemoth.
Other then that, kickass!

Ziggy

Thanks for the hint Maph! ^^ I'm going to scale the weapon in the modeling process so that it fits the framework of the weapon example we got from bobo.
