Got tired of reading during lunch breaks and decided to sketch some trees. From photo ref and studies from artists

WIP on elven blade concept from Moniek Schilder. Experimented with a fibrous look on the blade but will implement in in the texturing for more control.

Gonna make the blade into a little scene. Blocking things out

Update with second pass done. Previous version on the left, current version on the right

Finally finished a personal project in what feels like aaaaages! Based on an incredible Swordtember concept by Guillaume T. Delbarre 🔥

Haven't done 3d in 18 months and getting back into as a hobby, This is where I'm at after a first pass. Don't like how the lines on the blade turned out so far. Concept by Moniek Schilder
