Right, getting myself grounded here! I have an idea of a flamboyant, jewel encrusted sword being wedged into a rock akin to Excalibur, lets see how it goes!
@theluthier silentheart00 Cheers guys, I'll be sure to do my best!
Day 1 Done!
So, change of plans. I remember 
dostovel saying that he would be making a sword wedged into a rock, so I decided to redo my scene somewhat. The sword will still be have jewels and whatnot; I have quite the soft spot for the flamboyant. More specifically, it will be a Schiavona, pictured below:
So now that I've forgone the Excalibur scene, I gone with something a little more unique. A decrepit treasure, an ancient curse and a gloomy atmosphere await. The scene is of the sword being encased in a museum but something isn't quite right. Got the basic scene blocked out along with some simple materials, looking forward to seeing how this will pan out.
(Just realized the handle is off center, need to fix that...)
Need a more elaborate background of course, but hopefully I can get it done. Been having a lot of health problems due to stress recently (mostly related to expecting a lot out of myself when it comes to 3D) so I'm taking it a bit easier than usual, but I'm looking forward to updating you all and I wish you all the best of luck! Happy Blending!
A cursed sword?!
If I look it too much will there be an evil entity reflected to me?! :O
thecabbagedetective Is it really Aaron, is it really? is the the sword really wedged into the rock or is it the rock that's really wedged into the sword?
thecabbagedetective i hope the end scene will have more ambient light, currently can't see anything than silhoutte. :D
thecabbagedetective Love the design! But take it easy all right, just pace yourself and you’ll be fine, your health is important :)
thecabbagedetective Awesome idea. I can´t wait to see the cursed sword, or wait.... will the curse be set free when I look at it? D:
thecabbagedetective Just take it easy Aaron, no reason for stress. In your case giving 100% is absolutely enough, no need for 200% anymore :-)
jack07 The true evil was within you all along! That's how it goes, right? Right?
@theluthier And you shall! It was just take time, and effort, and maybe a few textures if I'm feeling lazy (not that I'd ever be like that, obviously). I shall do my best with the self care, though sometimes 3D comes first, I will attempt to make those moments minimal.
silentheart00 Thanks man, I'll do my best, just stick tight!
louhikarme Oh absolutely, this was something I threw together in a couple minutes so I'll be tweaking it more as the days and weeks go by (even though I'm not supposed to do this until the third week so it might be considered cheating. Is it cheating? I hope it isn't. I'm worried now. Help me).
ssmurfmier1985 Thank ya very much! I'll try my best, 3D is still gonna get its loving but I'll try not to have a heart attack because of it, it probably won't happen.
csehz Admittedly a little bit of stress is good for you, but I think I'm pushing that boundary haha. Just gotta pace myself a bit more and hopefully all will be well.
