[DS2] Axe, GuiViana

GuiViana

Hello guys, I began to participate in this contest a little late but I think there is still in time to put my knowledge to the test and learn a lot with all of you.

My proposal is to make a demonic axe that reflects elements as affliction, pain and the most important, corruption, working with asymmetrical aspects and with some personality, not being just another weapon but with which the player can identify itself and compose a good look when wielded by the main character.

I hope that you enjoy my job guys!

Hey guys!

Here are the first attempts of my demonic axe. I tried to make a demonic weapon that was once an angelic one and was captured and corrupted by the othr side. I thought it would emphasize the aspect of corruption, but I had fear of compromising the visual language of the other weapons in the game by merging the two types (demon and angels).

Then I worked in the other two, trying to place fewer elements of an angelic weapon and concentrating more on the elements I described in the previous post.

The shape of the weapon is not decided yet, but I think I've established a point from which I can advance with the process. Soon I will post the final version or something near it.

I would appreciate knowing your point of view guys!

PS: I'm sorry if my scribbles are hard to understand, drawing has never been my strong point

This is the latest version, but there are few elements to define yet, like handle and transition. I think I will make one change or two in the design, but it will not be very different after this.

Unfortunately I didn't have much time this week to post my progress, but I can say that I have the final concept and I already started the base and will post here soon.
Hope you like it :thumbup:

Thats a nice concept you got there, looks like it could do some serious damage.. The only comment is that the spikes, coming out the top dont seem to really add to it,im guessing your trying to go for a demonic growth at the top. Everything else looks kick ass keep it up.

GuiViana

Hey man, thanks for your comment. In fact, I was trying to do something more like roots on the top. I am trying to use some organic there to escape a bit from the pattern of blades on the top of the weapons.

I think this can give an aspect more brutal and rude to the weapon, but I am open for suggestions now

Once again, thanks for the comment man!

cashfire

ok, I see what your trying to do, maybe you could try a single spike at the top, and have the organic come down, like the roots from a tree. That way it would come off more demonic, and show some growth like its somewhat alive..

GuiViana

Hummm I can think about doing just one spike like you are saying. I will certainly try it and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice cashfire!

GuiViana

I am almost there with the high poly. I followed cashfire's advice and put just a spike on the top and I think that was very nice.

Gogogo! Finish it up!

GuiViana

Oh man, it is finally over.

I must say that I had many problems doing this model but I liked the result in the end and I have learned a lot with all of the participants and with some friends of mine that are better than me in 3D. They taught me some techniques and gave me some tips on how to accelerate the process of working.

Thank you all fellas
