I don't think I've posted anything at all about my Gurus and Grasshoppers project.. Oops. The task was to design and model a weapon, textured and with bump maps. Now that I've finished, here are a few screenshots of it in progress.

| Design for normal map |
I chose to put runes on the axe, and chose a quote from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'; 'where the offence is, let the great axe fall'. I originally planned to have the quote on one side of the axe, and just repeat the map on the other, however it became a bit of a squeeze so I split the quote in half. Also I chose to used the traditional Anglo-Saxon runes, also as used by Tolkein in 'The Hobbit', which I was reading at the time.
Below are images of the final model.
