Nice model Alex. I had a Mjolner in the works too, but I'll postpone its release in place of other renders.

As for criticism, I don't think it requires too much. The debossing detail and sculpt in general look good. The metal texture and shading feels solid, albeit a bit less heavy on the pommel. Then again the hilt wouldn't be taking a large portion of damage anyway. The main thing I would say is that the grip appears too hard edged, giving it a stone/metallic appearance; I'm assuming the grip is wrapped in leather, which typically appears softer.

Anyway, nice work!

You should post it on the PoE reddit as to get more views/comments. People have shown interest towards a 3d model of this unique so they'd love it. =p

Hello Zach,

Thank you so much for the kind comments and also the feedback. Coincidentally, a few minutes before you made your post I was browsing your portfolio, admiring your work, and then to my surprise bumped into your WIP Mjolner in the blog section! I was going to comment on how I had produced my own render of it and how awesome yours is going to turn out based on your other works - but looks like you got to me first :P.

Anyways, I agree with the comment you have made about the hilt. I guess I could pull in the hard edges so it is closer to being tube shaped and in turn softer, or add in geometry to give the edges curvature. I guess I will play around with it - and the leather strap too, not too keen on how it looks at the moment.

Love the work you have produced and look forward to seeing some future works from you. Also, I really appreciate you sharing your workflow for the Doomfletch bow - the renders turned out beautifully.

If you do not mind me asking, do you work professionally in the 3D industry or is it part of a hobby?

(Oh, and about Reddit, a friend of mine already posted it on there but took it down after some time).
