Another example of the Hammer, this version shows a much longer handle and wrappings that appear to be made of leather strips with animal fur.
I modelled this similar to the first hammer but with thicker straps around the handle and mallet. Unlike the first hammer stone which is flatter on one side this hammer appears to function for the same purpose with either side. I used DamStandard, Inflat and the SnakeHook brushes in ZBrush to create the look of fur around the handle. The feathers were created between Photoshop and Maya using jpegs on a polygonal plane with Lambert shader.
