Shard of Abundance

A handpainting piece that I finally finished! I began blocking it out in Maya then bought it to ZBrush to get the hilt of the dagger right since it's organic and very much a complex form. It was a huge challenge for me but I decided to focused on simplifying it rather than sculpting on the smaller detail. I sculpted the details and baked the AO in Substance Painter and I started blocking out chunks of colours first which helped me with blending and shading it later in the process. Overall I'm very happy on how it turned out, I had so much fun working on this piece. And learned so much working on it!
