Work in progress shots, test renders, and Maya viewport images of the Pirate Anchor Axe. All poly modeling done in Maya, built-to-smooth workflow for animation. I like to use Marmoset Toolbag early in the early stages to check how the forms and edges read under lighting. It's a fast and effective workflow.
I've been keeping track of my progress on my Arstation Blog as well: https://www.artstation.com/domslice/blog
