Bastion’s Hammer, Made Real
Supergiant Games, the developers of Bastion, needed someone to build them an actual replica of the Cael Hammer from the game. So they turned to Harrison Krix. Krix, who we’ve featured on Kotaku before, certainly delivered. With a bigger, more detailed 3D model of the hammer to work from than that used for the actual…

Giant Witcher 3 Sculpture Is As Handsome As Geralt
Tomek Radziewicz is a concept artist, but he’s also a sculptor, and he’s recently done some work on The Witcher III that’s a little more tangible than a lot of the stuff we normally post here on Fine Art.
