As long as you learn something from it and have fun then it's worth it. Good luck.

thanks dude

Welcome to polycount! I like mace nr 7 tho i suggest you dont use the pink background since it steals attention from what really matters. The silhouette ^^ right now it is a bit hard read the shapes. Good luck on the rest of the work

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

lol thanks good point i just wanted something a tad more interesting than a white background

It looks like the first three are the only ones that would fit the proxy's dimensions. The main issue I see with those three is that they have some delicate looking features (thin lines) and floating pieces. Floating pieces are a no go last I checked, and the small, thin elements need to be bulked up.

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

yup i totally agree those ones were just experimenting with forms, oh and the floating pieces are just a bi product of Alchemy

seeing as by the the looks of it im a very late contestant so i kind have to rush the conception stage and develop mace number 3 make it look more menacing and more mace like

I would like to see where you go with your organic designs of the 4th (head) and 5th from first post, they are kinda promising.
First one from the second pic with the sonicish head is my favorite, combined with handle and pommel from second one.the mace is quite boring compared to those curvy ones.
Wish you good luck and fun with the lower poly stuff!

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

hi thanks for the feedback minsk and good luck to you too

some more designs have to move away from my style and move towards the darksiders style

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

ok im getting closer to something i'd be happy modelling and texturing, no quite there yet

You might want to make it more obvious that these designs are maces. I wasn't sure what weapon type I was looking at and would have guessed axe.

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

lol yes i totally agree with that thanks jmt

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

here we my latest mace im now starting to like where this is going now

Wow that has bad compression sorry about that

jmt · Mar 2012

It looks more like a mace now, but I think it would still benefit from being beefed up significantly. It looks more like a staff/wand that a witch doctor would use rather than a club for an ogre (not necessarily what you want but just an example).

For instance:

thanks for the feedback dude much appreciated

the_rabid_rabbit · Mar 2012

as of now i give up on my mace i now hate it with a vengeance so now i moved onto an axe, oh yeah!!!!!!!!!
