[DS2] Mace, Astral_Drive

Astral_Drive

Hey everyone! I'm quite late, but still in time! This is my submission for a Mace (Demonic), which I'll be finishing as soon as possible this week (obviously).


I'll be updating with more art as it comes, critique is welcome! Good luck all.

Another concept! This time an axe, Kingdom of the Dead.

Nope this one doesn't have a story. It is too ancient... mortals don't have time to recount the tale.

Hey, think the axe is awesome, and the way you've presented them is pretty cool.

One thing I've noticed while I was thinking about designs, was that with all the example weapons, they tend to look a bit used but not properly ancient or ready to fall to bits, yours doesn't look too fragile but I wouldn't overdo it. (Just my opinion of course I don't really know)

The eyeball is a unique idea but doesn't appear very functional as a mace. The axe is very cool. I haven't seen those shapes used yet in this contest.

Thanks for the feedback relaxonsand and jmt!

Yeah my idea for the eyeball is that it turned to heavy stone, so I guess to save the idea I should incorporate a better color/texture pattern for it so it doesn't look "squishy" and otherwise not fit for a weapon. relaxonsand, very good point about weapon wear. I've also noticed in submissions a lot of really fragile looking weapons, I'll make sure in the next stage that I steer clear of that problem.

I prefer the axe concept, it generally fits in better with the dark siders theme and it looks like you can have a lot of fun with the damage (e.g. the broken spoke/support)

Thanks Fyran!
