The video below is a demo showing the final hard surface model of my concept for a ritual combat blade. After sketching out the concept in a photo editing application, I proceeded to model it in Maya. This knife has a lot of subtle details in it that proved somewhat challenging as I tried to manage the topology while maintaining as much visual fealty to the concept as possible. At the end of this video you will see an occlusion render of the blade.

Thank you,
