problem

Creating a sci fi weapon usng inspiration from a local art exhibit at the wexner center by Nanette Carter: Afro Sentinals.

solution

Borrowing aspect from four of Nannette Carters works and sketching out quick renditions of what could be made. The creating 3D models in solidworks and exporting and rendering them in keyshot with a light component.

From the inspiring exhibit of Nannette Carters afro sentinels exhibit at the Wexner center for the arts we were challenged to take inspiring aspects and transform them into our own sci fi weapon

A take on Star Wars Sith lightsabers having the dual blades as well as adding rotational spikes that are similar to some of the 2D pieces in Nanettes exhibit.
