Hats off to the designer of this Lord British silver serpent wand, very cool. I'd like to see someone make this IRL just for fun, Harry Potter wise this is awesome.
It looks like a weathervane... where do you hold it? edit: or is it three of them displayed? hard to tell, but i guess!
Its obviously an artistic choice to show 3 different angles of the item. Personally I think it looks rather awesome. Maybe I'll find use for it with an alt, should I ever make an alt.
Scottie. I was lucky enough to see him explain some of the design process. Textures, polys, bump maps. And of course the game tech that smooths out the simple framework into something that looks so nice.
