This sword is my first personal hand-painted project.
The goal of this asset was to practice and better understand hand-painted texturing, focusing on color variation and material readability in a stylized style.
During this project, I learned a lot by experimenting on my own and watching tutorials, which helped me improve my workflow and techniques for stylized shapes and textures. The sword shape came after many iterations, even though I made a quick sketch before modeling it in 3D. I am quite happy with the result and I hope you will like it!
This piece represents my first step in this wonderful stylized journey, and I’m motivated to keep improving my skills in hand-painted assets and stylized game art.
