This sword was designed as one of many for a month-long challenge called "Swordtember" where you create/design a sword per day of September based on prompts provided in a list. In this case the prompt list that I chose was that of Tim Kaminski (@randomspirits). There is a supportive Discord server community organized by Tim Kaminski where people are encouraged to share their sword designs on X (Twitter) and in the Discord server itself.
I have been using Maya, Zbrush and Substance Painter as my software of choice to bring these 3D swords to life.
