Servo-Skull Staff a Warhammer40k Fanart
This is a project i 've been chipping away at from my free time, and aside from the Warhammer aesthetics which i am really into, what i liked most about this project is the blend of Hard surface and Organic Modelling which is always a great exercise.
--------------------------
Lore wise Servo-Skulls are usually floating and are not attached to staffs but since it is an inspiration of WH40k ,I wanted to do something a bit unique, it all started when i was playing a lot of Darktide and in Contrast to Verminetide in which the Sorceress in that game has staffs with skulls on them, the Psyker Staffs in Darktide did not , so I've basically filled in the blanks and called it a day.
--------------------------
This piece is not based on a reference, I've collected ton of other Servo-skull artwork and added my own to the mix.
--------------------------
Break Down:
- Started by gathering a lot of references.
- Sculpted the Skull in Zbrush.
- Created the mechanical parts in Maya then Merged them all inside of Zbrush and sculpted a bit of details.
- Retopologized all of the assets in Maya.
- UV unwrapped all the assets.
- Split the assets into 4 Main Materials.
- Baked and Textured the Servo-Skull Staff inside of Painter 3D.
- Rendered the Assets inside of Marmoset tool bag 4.
While creating this asset i did not want to comprise details for optimization for 2 main reasons, this is supposed to be a high quality Hero asset, and since this is a showcase i wanted everything to pop , it is still created with the full pipeline for game ready assets, but i left some polygons that i would normally reduce and rely on the baking process in a production ready environment.

I would also like to thank all my friends for their valuable feedback that really affected the final result.

If there any kind of feedback you would like to add or maybe a tip on how I've created a certain thing in this porject do not hesitate to contact me, Cheers.
