The Spear of Leonidas from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, created in 2018, was a fantastic opportunity to expand my 3D modeling skills in surfacing.

​

The model was completed in Autodesk Fusion 360 and the components were printed in ABS filament on an FDM printer. For structural integrity, a 1/4" steel rod was used as a spine and smaller steel pins were inserted at each joint for added stability.

​

Prior to painting, physical damage was added using a variety of tools to match the pre-release game reference. The "metal" head of the spear was painted with metallic lacquers and given a distinctive golden hue down the center using transparent inks. The woodgrain effect on the handle was achieved by layering transparent acrylics to simulate the grain, which was then sealed with a gloss clear coat. The project was finished by adding a leather wrap and detailed weathering with oil paints.
