Bound by Bone & Steel : Hand-Painted Stylized Prop

Hey everyone!
Sharing a new prop I created for my personal game project that I am developing right now. This design was initially inspired by the contrast between organic and metallic elements, I wanted to explore how two distinct materials could coexist within a single form while maintaining a unified, stylized visual language. The goal was to capture a sense of handcrafted tribal craftsmanship fused with salvaged metalwork, telling a subtle story through the materials themselves. I focused on balancing smooth, polished metallic surfaces against organic, weathered wood and cloth wrappings, while keeping the colors vibrant and clean in a hand-painted style.
Really enjoyed working on this one, especially playing with material contrasts and stylized surface detailing. More props and character pieces for this project are on the way.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback ✌️
