"This is Warcraft. Spikes all the way." There's a quest in WOD where you scale an iron horde building with a grappelling gun. The orc that's accompanying you says, "This is why you put spikes on your buildings!"
the camera still missing is actually the swords fault as our man, Tom, actually bought a new one, but then the sword munched on it, forcing him to buy another new camera
ive got one thats a challenge for you the good ole "sin'dorei warblade" the blade every melee user belf got for the final part of ghostlands, plus its really hard to tell what they actually wanted the blade to look like so id like to see what you can do see if you can make it look actually evlen, maybe have color variants and theme variants like in this video a blood knight one that has some blood like effects
I always get excited when I see that little blue circle next to your name! I don't play wow anymore but have a huge solf spot for it's art style! I ALWAYS look forward to seeing what assets you update next, it's such a damn treat!
so this is absolutely one of the coolest things you've ever made, and you've made some pretty damn cool stuff. The wispy bits absolutely make it, well bloody done 👏
This blade was one of my first purple items back when I started playing WoW in WotLK, and I have kept it fondly through the years since. It has always been one of my favorite 1 hander weapons. This update gives it the look it deserves and makes it even cooler and spooky than it was already. Amazing work! I wish this is how it actually looked.
I'm always impressed by your work Tomkek, I keep thinking it can't get better, and then you go ahead and make even cooler stuff. I love everything you've done. but this wonky lil buddy has a place in my heart and is probably the best work you've done on a weapon alone!
If only WoW devs cared as much about Warcraft as we do.... Your painting has come leaps and bounds, brother. The amount of depth / pop you were able to put into this sword with such a limited array of colours are your disposal is 10/10. The special effect & tints you used are perfect. It's a work of art. I shudder to think of how gorgeous something like your modern take on *LIGHT'S VENGEANCE* would be.....
You're doing an amazing work! You should create a private part of the game as a private realm where you'll add all your updated models! It can be awesome
Stellar work, as always! This could easily work as an Old God weapon, wielded by the servants of the Void. And props by going the extra mile by giving it alternative color choices. More options are always better! One thing I'd love to see would be HD remakes of old raid/dungeon tier sets (like the Tomb of Sargeras armor being HD remakes of the Black Temple sets, or your HD rendition of the paladin Judgement set). I'd love to see new life breathed into those classic armor sets (especially the Dungeon sets, like Beaststalker, Lightforge, Valor, Wildheart, etc.). Or another weapon to make an HD remake of would be the *Arcanite Reaper.* That would be kind of dope!
Incredible work as always. Naxxramas gear has a soft spot in my heart and this is the weapon I always use for my warlock. Would love to see some tier 3, I think you'd kill with the warlock set.
This is so good!! Truly, this is such an amazing remake/update to the weapon. I had honestly forgotten about the original (because it didnt look that great) but damn I wish I could use yours in-game!
Man. That is so cool! Id love if they hired you and added it to trading post...but then everyone and their mother would run around with it and it wouldnt be as special. You are one hell of an artist!
This looks really good! Only issue is that you are falling into the retail design trap of making all the "slicing weapons" look too bulky and stone like, instead of "metal" and sharp.
God damn, Warriors, DH, and DK's all salivating at the look of this blade. It's glorious dude, I WISH it was in the game, it'd be in my top 5 1-handed weapons of all time.
All around love what you do...this update is excellent and I love the Artifact Weapon skinning treatment you gave it in the end. Only suggestion I'd have would be to have the stringy saliva inside break occasionally so as to not feel so rubbery and maybe add some drip to the corners of the mouth. Really good shit 😉🙌
Personally, I think the Recolors should have different particle effects The green one could have like a sludge or poison drip The Red one could have blood flowing through the fullest toward the mouth (which i notice you kind of did) Though the purple and dark green seem perfect
Look if Blizzard put this kind of effort in WoW weapons on a routine basis. People would be getting violent over just getting this for transmog. Let alone actually using it lol. Damn this is so good. Reminds me of the Artifact weapons days.
If anyone has contacts with blizzard that really should consider getting you to outsource their updating to you, do many legacy iconic items and mounts would get the attention they deserve
Real life stuff always comes first, so I'm sure we all understand a slow down. Don't stress. We'll always be here to enjoy your videos when you release them :)
Holy smokes, I so want that for my Death Knight! Especially the red one since I main Blood DK. :D This one turn out great, I'd even argue this is on the level of legendaries or above!
This weapon dropped from Kel'Thuzad in Vanilla Naxxramas, so it was removed 16 years ago, few years before transmog was instroduced into the game. So unless you played Classic, there is high chance you have never seen this weapon ingame.
