Vampire Dwarven Miner?????? :D But seriously try this.... create a cylinder 3D, set HDiv to 4. Turn of SH and SV. Set taper to 85. Then use the Gravity deformations to give the pick head a curve. Mess around with the deformations you may discover something cool. That will create the pickaxe head (one side anyway). All you have to do then is make a handle and put a rectangular top piece on and attach the pickaxe portion to it. You can copy the pickaxe head, rotate it and place it on the other side and voila! You could multimark these together as well for a "complete" object. If you have trouble with it send me a message and I will see if I can put a little script together for you.
