Many months' entries end up getting updated later on the Vault (in a "version 2" update), so if you decide to improve on your models, I see no reason not to if you find the time.

I'll also contribute to this challenge at a later time. I'm planning to make a keris.
There are two previous challenges for which I wanted to make models but didn't have the time.
At the moment I am working on a rural tileset which will have elven buildings. Those will be my contribution to the challenge a few months ago.
I'll also create the mountain giant Rübezahl for the April challenge.

As a note the screenshots for the monster head staves just use the spellshard handles because I got
bored with using the stock bioware staves for screenshots...  (And yeah bright colors not for everyone)
The spellshard ones are simple giant crystals (hopefully they look better ingame than lo-res screenies).
The heads themselves are aligned so that they can be used with any standartd staff middle and bottom.

If those staves can be used with other staff handles, then they don't need any more work and they are okay the way they are. People like me who hate those bright colours can simply use different middle and bottom parts.

I hope you'll continue to contribute to the CCC Carcerian.

               I don't see the big deal here in Carcerian's weapon choices and their textures.

This has always been about having anyone participate and at this stage of the game, it's nice to still see this type of participation. As a builder, we have the choice to avoid certain content we might not be happy with or best of all, retexture for ourselves based on what we need to tell our story.

So, good work Carcerian!

FP!

               I couldn't agree more, Fester Pot.  Always great to see new things from all sorts of people.

               @ Anthony : No worries, and thx for the advice '>

Did a bit more work on the bone Dark Sun Double-Axe's textures...

    

Made a leather wraped texture for the handle (hopefully looks a bit better).

               I've been too busy working on my novel for much NWN CC, but I do check here often. I want to add my thanks to others who've expressed how great it is to see continuing efforts and new people like you, Carcerian, producing things for folks.

On the axe: Nice leather texture! You know, you could consider using that same texture to create some leather to 'bind' the heads to the axe haft maybe. That'd set off those dual blades. Right now, it's a bit hard for me to see exactly how the heads are held in place. Not necessary, but something to consider.

great work!

               whoa... that axe just looks mean!! I don't use the Dark Sun setting, but I'm sure something is going to be carrying that thing around now.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               Thx! Hoping the Dark Sun servers get some use out of them for sure '>






They don't have to be a limited to Dark Sun either,
you could use for Primitives and Thri-Kreen everywhere '>
