After discovering how good the pole-arm looked as an axe I decided to go with the idea displayed below.

this means i will have to change my original plan for the whole weapon set too, it will be 2 bladed tonfa with a bo-staff instead of just the bladed tonfa and unbladed tonfa that go together to create the other weapons

 This is a prototype for the tonfa shape the finished product will have a hole in the hand for the staff
ff to go through, and depending on how you assemble the tonfa on the staff depends on what weapon you will create

i am a week behind with my four week plan as he weapon rack is still way to simple to be displayed as a proper model but i will catch up in the winter break

4 week plan and strategy

I've had this plan for 3 weeks already just haven't uploaded it so here's the plan and what I've done so far.


week one: research
in this week i will be researching and creating a mood board for 3 assets that are going into my scene, the weapon rack, the tonfa, and the pole-arm, baring in mind when i model these they will only be prototypes, no textures just general shapes that will probably be altered later
week 2, model tonfa
week three, model weapon rack
week 4 model pole-arm
