I like the idea and the sketch, but not the practicality of the skull placement. The amount of contact and the force of swinging the sword would shatter that skull reall quick, if it didn't fall off first. What if you removed the skull and reshaped the top of the blade into a shape that resembles a skull? It should still…
Here we go, got the skull to a point where it resembles a bear skull going to do first draft of lowpoly tonight to see if i run into any problems getting this into poly budget
hahaha i was like "why he made a dog with yellow horns?" sorry, was looking upside down about your skull, if you are planning to do it with a rounded back, the front could have some volume too, the lowpoly is tottaly flat on the "face" of the skull
References to death are almost illegal there, I think. Skulls, zombies, and stuff like that are a big no no. Valve will have to censor entire heroes though.
tnx guys :D hmm yea ur right, but i think if i make the whole top part with a skull it will look a lot like a mace, maybe if i put some straps on the skull it will keep it from falling off and make it golden like some parts of his armor so it wont break? I like to have some points of interest, thats why i placed it there,…
I think It'd be better if you lose the skull, something about chaos knight and skulls just doesn't seem right to me. Chaos Knight has more of a Mordor look to him than an undead one. Like this Axe for Chaos Knight, Its really awesome but doesn't fit with him, it would suit SK way way more…
China has issues with depiction of blood and death in media (skulls and the like), it's cultural and legislated. Read up on how Blizzard had to tweak WoW for the Chinese market.
Ow, i'll definitely try that SFM workflow out tonight. I've got a quick question, I'm drawing up some concepts for a Lycanthrope set. Should I avoid bones and skulls? They're in a couple of variations now (ones that I particularly like). Somehow I recall someone (with a Witch Doctor set I think) mentioning Valve asking…
This is a spear for Huskar. He will have a dagger offhand based on the skull in the spear. Getting the sculpt finalized and some details painted in for a base diffuse texture. Awesome concept by Tanapta
