We had a little Rabcat-internal challenge going on, where everyone would use the same base model (sword) and paint on it. Just to improve our hand painting/texturing skills.
I manly used Photoshop for this one but i also used 3D Coat to get the transitions between UV seams right.

Here are the links to all the other artists who were part of the challenge:

The base sword model was made by me, roughly based on a concept by Tom Bruck.
