Week 2: External Light Fixture

For this week's assignment I wanted to create a fire pot that would be used outside of a temple for lighting. I was inspired to do different designs of the pot based on what character from God of War I chose to do to this week. I was most interested in doing a basic looking fire pot from Greece and pots that looked like they would belong in Hades or Medusa's world. Below I quickly sketched up some basic ideas and went along with what felt would work the best. In the end, I chose to do Medusa's theme. The design of the snakes will most likely be done differently, but as of right now this is my first iteration of the external light fixture.

The pot on left side I referenced.



I really like the how to the snake's on the columns wrap around which is what inspired me to do that for my model.
The top portion of the artwork is something similar of what may be done for my final iteration of my fire pot.

Week 2: Final Helmet

I fixed issues I had with the horns and picked a little bit at the helmet here and there. So this is my final helmet for the assignment.

Week 1: Helmet

This is my first modeling assignment in 3DS max in awhile. The first few drawings are conceptual art from the game God of War Ascension. I used different elements of characters body armor to come up with different shapes to make up the helmet. For the helmet, I wanted to use angles since there seems to be the style of the God of War franchise. The horns ended up being a little bit more organic looking than expected, but they turned out similiar to what I wanted. I was more inspired by the darker elements. I can see this helmet on the Wraiths or Sentries or any of the creatures that have horns.
