Yevhen Khoreshko, 3D Prop and Environment Artist, shared on ArtStation the Archaic Arcanist Dagger project that he created based on a concept by Mukhlis Nur (Sinlaire).

He explained that the dagger was inspired by ancient rituals, forgotten civilizations, and magical artifacts, and he aimed to improve his skills in creating game-ready props, texturing, and presentation.

It looks like it belongs in a fantasy world. I imagine that it was created by a witch as a part of a ritual, and the stone in the middle holds magic that can hurt evil creatures.

Here is a closer look at the prop:

The artist used Maya, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, Marmoset Toolbag, RizomUV, and Photoshop.

Yevhen Khoreshko also did a recreation of a Stielhandgranate M24, which is a German hand grenade from World War II. He used Blender and Substance 3D Painter to model it.
