Thread: Seminole spear

    Default Seminole spear

    This is my take on the Florida State Seminoles' spear logo. I made this for a customer whose father was a professor at the college. The customer wanted a more artistic interpretation of the logo.

    To understand the significance of the word "Unconquered" on the spear, http://seminoles.com/seminoles-heroi...florida-state/

    To make the spear, I found and purchased an arrowhead 3D model from CG Trader and imported it using Pattern Sculptor. The feather is a quill pattern from the Pattern Depot. I used Clip Carving: Exclusive to remove the quill tip. The shaft of the spear is a modified rectangle shaped using Extrude. I added a Clone of Weathered Wood texture over that using Merge: Additive. The text is done in Centerline with Conforming vectors. The spear is a pierced carving. The spear is about 32" long, carved in pecan on Best (about 7 hours).

    To lay out the spear with the appropriate dimensions, I converted the logo into a "wood", using that as a the background for my layout. (I don't have the 2D tools, which would have made this easier.)
