Sculpted in ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Unreal.
This one's meant to feel fae and dangerous, organic, thorny, and just a little cursed. I wanted it to look like it grew out of the forest floor and decided it was done taking orders.
The idea was to make something that fits in a elven world, elegant, but not delicate. More like something a nightblade would keep hidden until it was too late.
You can grab a version of this in Oblivion Remastered too. I made it as a full Elven Dagger replacer, check it out here:
