Today I made some illustrations for a book about canes. Makhilas are weapon canes from the mountainous Basque region between France and Spain. They are used as a hand spear. All ZBrush with postwork in Photoshop.

nice work. well done.
Very nice…the metal part look very realistic
Nicely illustrated. I like the deer and knight especially.
Was the knight drawn and then projection mastered as an alpha channel onto
the metal or was it sculpted like a relief?
Very nicely done as usual.
Word
i really like the medieval knight, too!

The knight was drawn in outline first. After making an alpha, I used a stencil, and projected it at the plane.
The deer was painted in black and white colors. Light colors for the highest points and dark for the lowest. I used the alpha for making a 3d object.
Thanks, Bas. That’s a clever use of stencil and alphas.
The way the metal conforms to the shape of the wooden staff down to the tiny nails/pins that hold them in place…well thought out.
The fine detail in the metals is just fantastic…
Here some pages of the book and another illustration
