This project started as an exercise to improve my painting skills. It was indeed the first project I did using MARI as texture painting environment.
The goal was to recreate an archeological artifact in CG: a sword from the viking age. I wanted it to be a photorealistic work, but I have to say that at some point it shifted to a "gamy-looking" work. I think that I overdid the textures, but it was great fun!
