Hildirid's Guardian - Berserker Axe

Rendered in: UT3

Concept: Ryan Dao

Software: 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, UT3 Editor

Duration: 12 hours

This is a weapon I created from concept to finished 3d model. My aim was to make something that could fit into the Diablo universe. To help myself with the design of the axe I made up a name and fake Diablo 2 styled stats to get a background and story going. From there I started with rough sketches until I was satisfied with one. I then painted it and modeled it out. All the textures were hand painted and the final shots were rendered in UT3 Editor.
