So, most of the requests people asked for were elemental wands. One of them was Ele Wand 7, so I went for it. I also added a mystic shield, even though it kinda kills the Ele wand lol. I did invest a bit more of time on this than previous works, although not as much as I would've wanted to, but here it is. Autodesk Maya 2011

Looks too heavy for a mage to really carry. The blue orb in the ele wand looks too big. And the mystic shield doesn't look that great TBH...it's hard to see that's a shield. I imagined it would be more flat with an orb on it and a strap on the other side. But the ele wand looks good for the most part
Very good modeling. Just make the background less darker.
Honestly i dont think it looks that great.. but basilers like to suck up to artist so meh...
Shape and lightwork is awesome. I also like the idea of a black ele wand...if that's what you were aiming for. If not, then it's just too dark, it needs to be more gold. The ele wand looks about done, but the shield looks incomplete.
Anyways, great work! Keep it up. :]
[quote=j2461]@ElConrad yeah I believe its the reflection of the black background, as I used a dome to increase the bounce of photons and global illumination. I decreased the reflectivity of the material by like 1/4 so that affected the gold look for sure.
@Tainysi what key aspects do you mean? :o
Edit: @chillyprince thanks! I actually looked into painting that side the same but I ran out of time. Ill correct it and send you the link, or re submit if basil allows it, usually not = == lol [/quote]
The biggest obvious mistake is you missing the multiple colors of the elemental wand. The white circle needs to also be bigger for the ester shield as for the glow should be more visible and radiant.
This is beautiful.
cool ele wand i say it looks nice :o
Sorry but i dislike the Mystic shield very much. :x
[quote=grade3high]all of you critics, can YOU do that?...I thought so.[/quote]
Yeah actually, I can :s and all I see is constructive criticism, the comments would be really helpful to me if I were making this o.O
all of you critics, can YOU do that?...I thought so.
3/10
use textures and pay closer attention to the details of the sprite you are modeling.
[quote=j2461]XD, the steely you have there is inspired by me. You said it in the description. Lol that basil I'd (luckiday) is my old basil account, I deleted the screenie of the steely cause I was gonna upload all my work on this acct. Grass coming through the steely ring any bells?
Edit: @pavchka thanks for the hints, ill keep into consideration.
@personabove thanks [/quote]
Ohh yeah the grass haah
[quote=ElConrad]:O! I've been 3D modeling on basil since september 2010 and his models are instantly better than mine? OFFENDED! >
It is good though, there are def a lot worse models on basil [/quote]

so cool
[quote=Dinchman]I don't want to be too offensive, but really? This is the best 3D picture you've ever seen on basil?[/quote]
Points of improvement appear to be welcome.
Maybe the white rim around the Mystic Shield's jewel should be a bit thicker and the aura appears to be missing. The shape of the Elewand looks good, but I have the feeling the gem at its bottom is black with a blueish glow rather than blue and maybe there could be more colourful "effect" in the way the wand reflects the light of the big jewel in the middle.
I love the shape and the lightwork, though. This could be a nice corrupted version of the regular wand.
[quote=chillyprince]first of all, i have to say this is the most amazing 3D thing i've ever seen on basil! (maybe cuz im a mage addict, but whatever)
a few pointers here n there, if u would've made the area around the blue ball in the E.wand colored like it is in the original, made the metal color more golden/brighter, and showed it from a diff angle, u would have a top notch work!
but then again, this is practically amazing, i love u! <3[/quote]

You're really missing some key aspects to both equipment |:
Not sure if you gave it a black material or it's just reflecting the black background but it def needs to be more of a gold colour, can't see enough of the detail with it being so black
