[Weapon Swap] - Skana - Eskana

Murded · Nov 2015

I will be doing a weapon swap of the Skana. For the design I wanted to go with more of a medieval European shape rather than a Japanese katana type shape.

Here is my WIP that I started. For now I am blocking it out as best I can while still keeping within the style of Warframe. The Skana is on the left for scale reference.

I'm digging the shape and the minor details added to the blade. The weapon looks much heavier and likely to cause more blunting damage. I like the notches sticking out of the blade, and think it would be cool if there were some sci-fi, techy-looking detail on the blade in the normal map. I understand there must be limitations in the handle in regards to the character's hand size, but I think it would be pretty cool if there was a stronger change in detail for the handle. Looking forward to seeing this as a completed item!

Shaped it some more and improved the handle to have more of a pommel. Removed the hole in the center for now until I get my shape down. Next step is to zbrush it. I still have a lot of tris to play with but we will see.
