This sword is based off a concept from Alexandre Coadou. After seeing the concept on Artstation I absolutely loved it and immediately asked for permission to make it in 3D and Alex was kind enough to let me :). I used 3D Coat and Photoshop to paint the texture, it was my first time using 3D coat and I enjoyed using the software very much! Getting the colours the same as the concept was possibly the hardest part as after the shapes, the colours were the most prominant part of this weapon therefore I felt a lot of pressure to get them perfect. I also added the little animation in Maya to give the design a little more character as well as emphasizing the fact there are lost souls trapped inside.
