Concepts

Narrowed down to

I think I'll go with the axe, need to pick a theme first.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Kingdom of the Dead, Angelic, and Darksiders Core

Dunno what happened with the angelic one, but I guess I'll pass on that theme anyway.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Color varieties

I'm going with the Darksiders core one. will still implement some aspects from the kingdom of death them.

More color/form studies to come.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

I think I took too long with the conceptual stage. I think I'll start on the modelling soon.

Stinkhorse · Mar 2012

This definitely fits the art style. I'm throwing my vote in for V5.

Miodnre · Mar 2012

I'm ok with these shapes, good idea to use bones for the handles but fluorescent green is too fancy for me.

Yahya_no_1gamer · Mar 2012

My vote for V5 too, but V1 would be an alternative too for me

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Thx Guys.

I'll probbly be going with either V5 or V2. for now I think I got my form covered.

And yeah radioactive skullz were a little to much for me too, so I didn't go back to that :P

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

And the modelling begins

zelldweller · Mar 2012

Mmmm, I just think this design its too close to the one bobo did for the livestream.
That's good because you are using elements that are already in the game and are darksiders style, and you know they work, but its like the spike and the splittled concentric circles, and the skull are... repeating from that other scythe and that somehow subs some originality.
Also the union between the main blade and the stick seems a bit weak. Just my 2 cents.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Dude I swear I never saw the stream, and I had that design prior to seeing bobo's post for the proxy FAQ page!

I know I look bad but with my side projects, I really cant afford starting over a new design

I had the Design done on the 17th, does that help me prove anything?

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

But I might add a base behind the circles to support the blade, thx

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Probably a good time to mention I'm working on a side project at the same time here, these updates are kinda embarrassing

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

On to Mudbox.... btw this is supposed to be an animated GIF, how do I get it moving on this page?

Dimfist · Mar 2012

Hey at least you are getting some feedback.

I do like your asymmetrical design. I know its late in the design but I feel that if you pulled the bottom edge of the big blade down even further it would add to that design even more!

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

seems doable, will see to it after baking it
thx

Habboi · Mar 2012

If your gif is actually animated then it'll work if you just paste the link in. If you're not sure how to do it, why not try an alternative called meshbin. It lets you upload a model so you can rotate it and stuff. The people that have used it so far received some useful feedback as well like seams that the author didn't notice.

Anyway have fun sculpting.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

meshbin unfortunately didn't work with me, but knowing such a thing even exists, I looked for another:

P3d.in

thx for the tip

http://p3d.in/y4rNc/wireonsmooth#

still doesn't show on board tho >.> ah well will look into it later.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

I wish I had more time on this project, I'm wrapping things up now

19 hours left to deadline, am I right?

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

Not gonna make it for tomorrow's Darksiders deadline : /

Yahya_no_1gamer · Mar 2012

Keep going man, you still have time if you sacrifice sleep lol

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

didn't expect re topping to be soo much trouble T^T

the 1500 tri count is what's killing me here

Turret · Mar 2012

I know how you feel, 1500 tris is not a lot at all. I have seen weapons in the range of 1500-2000 though. Its best to try to get as close to 1500 as possible but you wont be knocked out of the running if its a little over. Mine is 1620.

Evanescfan · Mar 2012

1538 tris
This is it for me. It's a pity I did not have enough time for this side project

I might texture it later on, will continue to post progress here, if that's not a problem.
