xeightballx Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) This Sword -> http://i.imgur.com/D6UCV.jpg except with a more of a 'dragon bone' hilt. I was thinking something along the lines of the top of THIS staff as the hilt, with a gem (blue, red, black, silver, whatever) in the mouth at the base of the hilt, all of course, 'looking' like the hilt is made from bone and metal, like the dragon bone plate armor. Preferably not as a replacement for a mesh or texture, etc... - and as something to craft at the forge. Just a thought. Would be great if someone could do it. Thanks in advance for anyone who can!

Thats not that hard to make actually, making it in 3D doesnt require lot of detail, textures are other thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I saved the pic to my references folder. I'll make a version of it for Bob's. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Here's a quickie WIP shot. The way they have their shaders set up this time around is annoying. The specular map on this is almost completely black where the bone parts are and it still shines as if it were bright gray.I also have a bronze-ish corroded blade and a rusty blade so there will be 3 versions included. EDIT: Obsolete image removed. Edited January 10, 2012 by Mr. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy97 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Wow, very nice. I don't know if I like the handle though. Maybe make it look like an ivory handle like a mammoth tusk handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm just going by what the OP requested. Personally, I think it should have a leg style bone with a broken off end and a leather wrapping of sorts, but I'll wait for his input.... although a mammoth tusk style would probably fit the bill just as well. :DFunny thing is, back in 1984 I made a RL version that was very similar to this.

TardOnPC Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I laughed when I saw OP but very good idea. The WIP sword is very nice. The handle is more practical but maybe a mammoth tusk texture and straight tip would match the original a bit better. For those who have not seen the movie the handle is actually the horn of a unicorn. The sword is pulled from the skull of a dead unicorn so that is why you see a clean handle followed by rough bone.

HatterMaster Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Just my two cents here, but id remove the arms of the hilt and give the blade the same hammered out iron texture as the dragon plate helm, maybe even give the sword a more unusewell blade :) just my input, amazing job though :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm doing a dragon hilt dagger for Bob's next, so I may modify the handle from that and make this a new one. The more I see the handle, the more I hear Scooby Doo going Ruh Roh! It just looks too much like a cartoon bone handle instead of a bone handle.My personal preference would be for a metal set of quillions with the bone ricasso and handle and maybe a metal pommel.

MrDave Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Okay... I looked at the dragon staff model and went ahead and made a handle that resembles it, yet is straight so it would reasonably make a grip... still don't know what I'm going to do with the quillions...Progress on everything is slow right now due to us moving the office and me and one of the interns moving as well to remain close to the new location, so updates are slow all around.
