Friar's Battlestaff
Since one of my favorite characters in the MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot is a friar for profession I pondered what I would like to see in his hands and thus I made this one-handed or two-handed crushing weapon.
Goals were perfect balance, a solid grip and enforcements at the tips. So I did a little research on quarter staffs and gave it a few fantasy (spikes at the tips, the "hollow" style of the staff) and modern touches (grip, dual-sided enforcements).
Process: Modeling and rendering done in Shade 8.

Since the update to 2.1 I was finally able to test Hexagon a little bit (had a problem with the tablet until 2.0) and so this mask was born. Originally intended as a carnival mask I had the idea of integrating head lights so that you would be able to see your victims better in the dark...

No textures were harmed during creation. Despite what usually is thought when viewing this image the surface is built as anisotropic satin shader (which can be seen if viewed close enough though).
