Pillars of Creation

The Pillars of Creation are dual blades that combine into one sword fit for a giant. I was heavily inspired by Riccardo Decarli's 3D rendition of the Horns of God while doing this piece. The crystal of the blades was my absolute favorite part to work on and it turned out better than I had hoped! The project took me 2 months from concept to render. Modeling was done in Maya, sculpting in Zbrush, texturing in Substance and Photoshop, and final renders were done with Marmoset Toolbag 4.
