[DS2] Mace, Originlinear

OriginLinear

Hello again. I did an axe, and now I figured I would try a mace.


Sort of concepting as I go. I would love some input.

It is supposed to be an angelic mace. I wanted to try to incorporate something a bit more organic so I went with a griffon. :S

Got no crits from me, it's a nice idea and you've delivered it well. Maybe just experiment a bit more with the shapes that connect the head to the handle.

OriginLinear

Hello. I didn't have the time to finish for the deadline, but I finished it anyway.<_<



Sort of went my own direction with the color scheme, since it doesn't really matter anymore haha. Critiques are cool.





Anyway looking forward to the next contest. Good luck everybody.

Hey awesome that you finished despite missing the deadline! I like the overall feel of it, the only thing that is throwing me off is the beak terminating the way it does. The middle spike could of been the brassy color or just get rid of it all together?
Very pleasing to look at though overall.

Ah man! Beautiful mace. Sorry you didnt get to finish From what I've seen of the Darksiders angelic stuff, this prolly has too much saturated red in it, but your execution is excellent!

@Dimfist

I agree about the beak. It was based on some concept I found on the net ( http://www.autodestruct.com/ds_angelic.htm ) at the bottom of this page. Sort of like the "beak armor" I suppose, but I wanted it to be less "sci-fi" looking. Perhaps I should just extend the beak into the blades center area.

Not so sure about the spike. When I was concepting (in 3d) I took it out and it just didn't look right to me.




@ChaosEidolon

Thanks. I did finish an axe on time, so that is good, but I like this one a lot better, oh well.

I agree the red is definitely not Darksiders. I went with my own colors because the contest is over, and I have the freedom to do what I like without losing points for not following the style exactly.
