[Mentat7]

Just experimenting with creating some tools for some upcoming projects. Already have ideas how to improve on this. Stay tuned.

wow Mentat, that is some awesome modeling!! Can't wait to see your ideas of improvements!!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[insanesooner]

You da man! You continue to amaze me with your modeling and texturing skills.

[Mik]

War, huh?
Good god, what is it good for?......
Well apparently a skull cracking extravaganza with your excellent piece of weaponry.
Can't wait to see the evil mutha wielding this instrument of pain.(muhahahaha)

:tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :D

[Grub]

Whatahammer!, looking forward to see where you go with this one :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Belleski]

I'm not keen on weaponry, however, I think the texturing on the metal blade is beautiful. :cool:

[DeeVee]

Great image as usual Mr. Mentat
I think that the handle could be a bit longer for the size of the hammer. IMHO.
I know you are a perfectionist so I thought you would not mind an honest comment.

Now THAT'S a hammer! Just the thing needed to keep someone ermmm something ermmm well you know, in line...

Very awesome modeling and texturing! I also can't wait to see what you do with this. :D

[Mentat7]

The second version of my warhammer. Not happy with it so it will undoubtedly go through many incarnations as I attempt to get one with the "right" look. The name of the hammer will be Wurmsmyter if that gives you any idea where I am going with this....

[DeeVee]

You may not be happy with it but the handle is more proportional,than in the first version!

[Slosh]

These darn artists and there self-criticism! This hammer is soooo cool :tu: :cool: :tu:

I know someone else made up a bunch of weaponry for something (can't remember who), but it looks like it would be a lot of fun to create interesting pieces like this one. The closest I ever came was an axe.

[Gerlon]

nice work, i hope we get to see a whole set of medieval weapons :D

[aurick]

You've done a marvelous job texturing that baby! The wrappings on the handle are perfectly done.

[juandel]

Hey Lonnie! ;)
Although the first one looks more functional, the second one is MUCH cooler! And I agree, the wrapping on the haft is perfect.... :tu: :cool:

:tu: :tu: :tu: :) :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Mentat7]

Getting closer to my vision...need to work on mass. Version 3..........

Very nice. This is really turning into something astounding. It's very interesting to watch. I really like this one. :D :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Ron Harris]

Lon, this image rocks.... that would look kewl as a real piece hanging on a wall :tu: :tu: :tu:

[picsas]

you have such a cool imagination a nd lucky for you ya have the skills to follow your ideas through, luv the idea its brill, i like the idea of making wepons and tools

[Kathy]

I LOVE where this is going Lonnie!!

TOO COOL!!! :D :tu: :tu:

[Karasuando]

Very nice hammers!, my favourite is the second one tho. I think mostly because the "natural" (IMO) length of the shaft makes it feel more powerful.

[Mentat7]

I think this will ultimately be the final design. A few little tweaks to the handle and some wrappings etc and it will be ready. Now I just have to make a spear and a shield and a few other props.....


And this is made from multimarkered objects.

[The-Hydra]

Very nice!!!!
But i think that a bit of metal here and there on the head of the hammer would be great

[Mentat7]

The material is temporary and will most likely be changed once the scene is completed and I incorporate the props. The hammer isn't even colored or textured yet. It's just base color with a material and some colored lights and a little fog.

[drk3p]

Can i make a comment?
At the bace of its scull, its just a "pole" sticking up into its head, how about some thickness for support or some wort of joining bone thing?

[Mentat7]

drk3p: Additional mass will be added as seperate objects once I place the prop in the scene. The handle will be thickened as will the joining end under the hammerhead and the butt end of the handle.

[Mentat7]

On my journey to making a spear my Cone3D suddenly turned into a spaceship. It looked interesting so I let it be a spaceship. A little side endeavor........ now I must continue with my spear.........

[Vikki]

Hey! I think that would make one mean spearhead! Nice spaceship too. :D

[The Saint]

I was once a big fan of warhammer stuff! This is looking pretty good! I can't wait to see the final version! (complete with the right materials, color, lighting and stuff!

Your continuous dedication to improving your craft reminds me of my early years as an artist. I wish could keep up with your tenacity!
