Description
Here's the prototype sculpt of the Skyrim Rueful Axe. The handle was shortened to be more like the game and I think it came out pretty well for a first attempt. I hope you guys approve of the work!

The axe is awesome, but its the slowest weapon in the game.

I'm trying to find a box that will fit all of it! Maybe the box that mobile homes come in?? They come in boxes, right? lol

Was the "axe blade" made using painted clay? It has some interesting detail. lol As far as compared to the In-game axe- no kidding, it would take so much arm strength to use the other one, I understand they wanted it to be authentic looking (even though it's a fantasy game) but our ancestors eventually switched to swords for a reason. lol

It was sculpted in clay and the moulded before making the casting. We felt it would give it a more authentic look and be different from the other great skyrim props here on dA. I'm glad you agree on the handle, I can definitely vouch for the fact that it's easier on the arms to carry and swing, hehe

I have a few questions, do you mind if I send a note?

Sure! I'll try to answer them as soon as I can, bud!

im interested but what can you make it out of materials wise?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We're planning to makethe final head from Smoothcast 320 resin, but there's a chance the blade could be made from a skinned foam for LARPing or cosplay uses (I like when they're functional, too). We don't intend to make more than a few copies as commissions, but as soon as more info is available I'll be sure to let you know

No problem, and you should try making a Dwarven-style weapon!
It would be really cool =O

If this one has a good response there shall be more, hehe. I hope that will be the case because this was a lot of fun to make

for what its worth dwarven swords look ALOT like assassins creed templar swords. a good item to make to appeal to 2 genres

This is very true. I always like cross-platform props for just that reason! Might just have to add that to the list of projects for next year!
