Darktiste Sketchbook

I didn't read the whole thread so I don't know what the context is for this project you're working on. Is it a personal project? For what medium? What's the end goal for these designs?

It a personal project.Also i am going to get back to the oriental armor soon it just a more recent project so i still have to get my older project out of the way. This axe project being one of them...

The goal where not very clearly define on this one it had to be an axe that for sure so it mostly base on the name that was generated at the start of the project.Infernal throwing axe was really the brief.

I wanted something that feel out of the ordinary something that feel dangerous hot and foreign to the surface world not necessarly evil but certainly not welcoming.

So i took inpiration from lava aswell as what happen to that lava when it cooldown.I wanted a dark metal to bring up the fact the weapon would self illuminate where the lava and the metal is very hot.That dark metal would also look more solid and angular like it support the more flowing part of the design.

I made the metal part red hot like they come straight out the forge i feel the only thing that might be missing is maybe a bit of spark flame and smoke.

The bottom part is a furnace where a elemental fragment is trap that where the weapon get it infernal temperature.

When i said i want something vibrante i meant to make sure the contrast between the color of the BG and the object almost created a visual ''high''
