Information about the artist is on task 1.

I chose this image because I really like the style and idea of the machines used in the image. The long and thin legs give a spider or a bug kind of feel while keeping the mech style.

Thumbnail Sketches

Here is some of my thumbnails. I wasnt really sure what I wanted to so I just started jotting down things. Thats why thumbnails are a good way to create ideas quickly.

These are a few sketches I did once I realized what I wanted to create. I wanted to make some kind of bone staff or bone weapon.



I had this idea of doing a kind of ceremonial staff/weapon in a native style. So I did a few sketches and actually started heading towards small weapons, a bit like a tomahawk but keeping to the same original style.

Final

Here is the end result. I wanted to give the look of this being an actual bone off some kind of creature which someone has worked and sculpted into a weapon. Thats why I've given the point a really harsh spike because I wanted it to look like someone has cut it. I tried to adapt the look bones have by giving it lots of curves. I then tried to adapt the tribal look by putting some kind of scroll thing on it then having like teeth and bones hanging off it.
