I am still here for those who worried I disappeared again. As I've noticed in many scenarios, I am a part time modder due to lots of real life things going on. I've also been in talks with another modder regarding a little change I plan to making towards my modding style but will keep that under wraps until everything is set in stone. Also, another thing that's taken my time from modding was that I've been playing around with a few texturing techniques. I've done a lot of debating on if I am happy about how I texture or not and found that I am not. So, while I am still modding, I am doing more playing with texturing. I'll be honest though, if I could I'd have someone else do the textures for me, but I don't have that option, so I am working on a few changes for that, one of while will help my textures be more seamless.
But since I have been gone, I did make a couple of things, a wep/ shield (Fan sword) and a bracelet.
Here are some pictures:
The bracelet is a simple gold bracelt but I did add details that are not shown in the screenshots. In the inside of the bracelet I made a rubber like material and for those who will like to examin full content of a mod will not this.
The major work on this post is the weapon. The shape is not exactly what a Chinese Fan looks like (a real one is more round) but it does have the fine detail to it. As you see I went for a Chinese theme on the pattern, I was also going to include a dragon on the fan fabric but instead decided against that. I figured that having it imbedded by the handle was more than enough dragon on the fan itself. I've also added an engraving on the bladed part of the fan so it ads a little flavor to the touch of the weapon. This texturing is another method I've tried but it is not the one that is really occupying me as much as some of the others. Ill get there soon enough though.
