The Guardian Claymore

Part of a small challenge with a group of friends as an introduction to hand painting. This was such a fun project to work on as I tried to keep it as low detail as possible in the mesh and add all of the details in the textures. Overall I spent probably 30ish hours on this piece which is a bit longer than my other handpainted projects, but the details make it shine.

Based on this concept from Arthur Malagon:
