[DS2] Axe, Trebor777

Hello people

I'm going for an axe! Didn't get much inspiration for the other two kinds.

Started a few concepts and end up with this:
(not finished but hey.. )

Update during the weekend

The sillhouette is cool. You should make the shapes more clear even if it's a rough sketch though. The sketch should help you decide what details you will put there and how well they will work together.

Thanks a lot, and no worries, that was my initial plan, that's like the super quick sketch done during my break.

It's just I wanted to show something while creating the thread ^^
the handle isn't even there yet

Small Update, didn't had much time today to go over it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll work on it a bit more! and maybe start some 3D

Ok I think I'm gonna go toward a slight new direction, did this just now, and I think it's better, guys what do you think ?

Trebor, you're the one from relite/oniro ?

Your lines lack consistency, it's quite hard to judge the overall piece because this is sketchy. Your blade is too squashed in the width. Any weapon looks more impressive with a precise, round/sharp blade.

The idea itself - a devilish hand planted on the weapon - is interesting, but you can still work on it.

There is just one big defect that tends to impoverish your creation overall : the blade bit at the bottom of the crane, because of its orientation mostly.

Good luck and keep it up !

Yes that's me

Thanks for the critics

I'm trying to refine the piece right now...

Update on the concept :

-____- Noooo .. Somehow I almost regret working for a big game company.
They denied me the right to participate to this challenge ( as well as for other colleagues ) as it'll be working for a competitors' game (not that i was gonna win anyway). Damn corporate policy.
I guess I'll finish it out of the competition, once the deadline is reached or something.

I like the hand implement. Just in my personal opinion, i think a squelleton hand goes more with the mod of the game art.

trebor777 · Mar 2012

Hum yeah, i'd agree

because i'm that good at 2D, but i want to make a very skinny/scorched/ almost zombie like hand. So yeah skeleton could do. I'll see when i'm sculpting it... after the 26th.
