For this piece I created a weapon known as a Monkspade. The model was designed in Maya, while the texture was made in Substance Painter and edited in Photoshop.This pole weapon was used by monks in China’s past; the crescent shaped blade was used to ward off predators while the flat shovel like part was used to give any corpses they saw on their travels a proper burial while also defending against bandits. My version is a little bit different from this traditional weapon; the one I designed has sharpened edges at the end of both of the blades, making it more weapon like. The one I created is based off of the monkspade from an anime called Saiyuki. In the anime the weapon is able to detach from the main pole and , while on a chain, be whipped about, cutting enemies from any direction. I will also be uploading another version of this weapon but with the chain added to it.
