Ice-Bound Sword and Shield

3D Model

Asessment Project for Game Art Diploma at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. An ancient blade, forged from ice and steel. The handle is bone, loosely bound with old, stained cloth. So cold to the touch, it can only be wielded by those who don’t fear losing a few fingers. A battered shield, crafted from the wood of an ancient tree, and the bones of a great beast. Supposedly the cold strengthens it, ice reinforcing it as it slowly creeps over its surface with each new dent or scratch. Modelled in Maya, Textures done in Adobe Substance Painter
