The axe was broke down into two seperate models. The head and the handle. This would make it easier to model and not cause any issues with the topology. The head of the axe was pretty easy to model but required more time than the handle. I used my skill of tracing over an image in the background to get the rough shape of these models and after i got that shape i then bevelled the edges to give it a smoother look.

For the handle it was a matter of doing the same thing. The only problem i had to do was to delete some extra faces that would not be shown. This meant that i had to create some swift loops in order to delete the right faces. As shown on the image, the green outlined object shows that it is cut off before it goes through the head of the axe. This is done to limit faces for if it goes into a game or just any other project. This is so that it causes less frame issues in the long run as it is best to use as less faces as possible when creating a model and putting it into a project. I have started doing this with many models and that's to get me into that habbit of making things less performance heavy i can.

Moving on, i worked on the tree stump. The was a hard model to create as it was complex. This model required a lot of time and skill to create as it needed some sculpting and reforming. This shape is broke down into two models so that way when it comes to texturing later on i can give the outside a different texture to the inside. To create the slice in the log i had to delete some faces and then extrude inwards so then it would create that depth. This way it creates that effect of the log being hit by the axe. The sculpting part is not really a noticable part of the procedure but i think it gave the shape that little extra bumpy look to it. I used it to soften the edges up a little bit and to bump the outer side out a little bit too.
