A Morning Star (inspired by Baranar's Star)

My all time favorite mace, and I chose it to be my a reference for my first ever model. Comes in 2 flavors, fancy shmancy gold tinted metal with a red velvet grip or the more rustic bronze(I guess) tinted metal with wood grain grip. Now, this has a few quirks, some spots were not UVMapped, but the good news is I did small blending jobs for those and they are in less noticeable places. Second, this model is heavy... at 17k polygons its not for the faint of heart. Is this necessary? Heavens no! All of that potential detail is wasted on me but I made a big mistake during the touch-up process and saved without a backup. Being my first model I really didn't feel like starting over again. Last of all, the texture on the grip is terribly overstretched in a certain area however It's not all that noticeable in-game(covered mostly by your hand). (OLDER PIC)
