A stylised Viking axe modelled in Blender, with the details of the metal and the wood created through sculpting.

After baking the maps, we textured it in Substance Painter with PBR materials and used Photoshop to create custom brushes and retouch the final images. The result is a light model of just 2,700 faces; the turntable shows its wireframe.
