I further developed my thumbnail artwork that I did earlier. I mixed the thumbnails that I said I was going to mix and came up with 3 similar designs that I really like. All 3 have the same handle, pick and bottom on them as this was something I liked. I kept the handle similar to my initial design for a war hammer but changed the middle decoration to circles like my first thumbnail sketch as I preferred this look because it makes the weapon appear more attractive and interesting to the eye. The first hammer has a large round head as in my first thumbnail drawing. Whilst interesting, the shape would not be efficient and that is something I believe Dwarfs to be.
On my second design I changed the hammers head to being completely square. I also changed the head of the staff to be completely square on the top. Whilst more practical I just found the design unattractive and was unhappy with it.
My last design is my favorite. It's a compromise between the two previous designs. It is more efficient yet still an interesting round shape. The curve is even on the hammers head which I believe would lead to it being easier to use. The top of the handle is extended a little too as I felt it looked better. This is the design I wish to pursue and will come up with a more detailed sketch soon before moving on the beauty shots of it.
