hello! good luck with the hand painting project! I also started by making tons of weapons, and I must say it's a great way to learn how to make this kind of stuff, so good luck with your project! regarding your model so far: try and keep in mind which part of the model will be most visible, and also how big an individual…
Some painting progress, decided to keep the panels for now. I'm aware that the fur part at the bottom just looks super weird right now so I'm working on replacing it with something else. Honestly, I wasn't sure how to approach this part. I've been looking through the WoW model viewer for some ideas and found something I…
Looking better and better you are doing great! Above I made some little changes. I believe the main thing would be try and give form to each big geometry you have. For example if you make the handle darker as it turns in space ( where the cylinder form starts to face away from us ) then the viewer will understand that its…
Gonna call this one done for now, though I think some parts are still too dark and I'm not sure about the blade (looks more like stone than metal I think . I'm happier with the gold parts this time around, but obviously still need more practice. :) model Let me know what you guys think.
I've been a bit slower with this one as I have been trying to learn a bit more about painting in between, but here's some progress on the second sword so far. Still need to work on the colours as I've mostly just been trying to get the values right. Also not too happy with that central part as it's very angular, but I have…
Thought I'd do an update now that I've begun to paint. So I've adjusted the blade a bit more and I think the silhouette is looking better now. I also re-did the handle which seemed to resolve the UV problems I was having. I've also started a bit of painting work but it's very rough. I'm trying to figure out my values at…
I've done a few refinements (central part is a lot more circular now) and spent some time playing around with colours. Just working on the bottom piece and then I will do another pass over the blade as it doesn't really look very metallic at the moment.
Hey! Thanks for recommending Tyson Murphy's hand painting course, It really helped me! I see that you did a bunch of his other concept arts, and I might do the same as well. Currently painting the shield part and I really learned a lot also awesome work you have here!
I feel like you've only taken part of what Cordero said into account. You've added more polys to the blade when they indicated, but those sections remain largely straight. If you're going to add those cuts in to reinforce the silhouette (which you should silhouette is king when it comes to stylized art, even more so on a…
Updates! So I re-modeled the handle because the geometry was pretty bad, I think it's much better now. I've been able to make a lot more progress with painting the handle, so here's where I'm at so far. Still not really finished yet as I need to fix a few things I'm not too happy with (feels like the bottom area of the…
