Handpainted Axe

3D Model

Based on Jeff Chen’s ‘Axel the Axe’ concept: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ExNav

Process: 1 layer, 1 brush (mostly) and a lot of colour picking. This project really helped to teach me how to loosen up when painting as well as how to choose good colours. I tried to stay as close as possible to the original concept, but I did deviate when I found interesting shapes during the painting process and wanted to keep them. No AO bake or base, just started really messy to capture all the hue variations and then slowly sculpted in the shapes :)
