"This is Warcraft. Spikes all the way." There's a quest in WOD where you scale an iron horde building with a grappelling gun. The orc that's accompanying you says, "This is why you put spikes on your buildings!"
the camera still missing is actually the swords fault as our man, Tom, actually bought a new one, but then the sword munched on it, forcing him to buy another new camera
ive got one thats a challenge for you the good ole "sin'dorei warblade" the blade every melee user belf got for the final part of ghostlands, plus its really hard to tell what they actually wanted the blade to look like so id like to see what you can do see if you can make it look actually evlen, maybe have color variants and theme variants like in this video a blood knight one that has some blood like effects
I always get excited when I see that little blue circle next to your name! I don't play wow anymore but have a huge solf spot for it's art style! I ALWAYS look forward to seeing what assets you update next, it's such a damn treat!
This blade was one of my first purple items back when I started playing WoW in WotLK, and I have kept it fondly through the years since. It has always been one of my favorite 1 hander weapons. This update gives it the look it deserves and makes it even cooler and spooky than it was already. Amazing work! I wish this is how it actually looked.
so this is absolutely one of the coolest things you've ever made, and you've made some pretty damn cool stuff. The wispy bits absolutely make it, well bloody done 👏
I'm always impressed by your work Tomkek, I keep thinking it can't get better, and then you go ahead and make even cooler stuff. I love everything you've done. but this wonky lil buddy has a place in my heart and is probably the best work you've done on a weapon alone!
If only WoW devs cared as much about Warcraft as we do.... Your painting has come leaps and bounds, brother. The amount of depth / pop you were able to put into this sword with such a limited array of colours are your disposal is 10/10. The special effect & tints you used are perfect. It's a work of art. I shudder to think of how gorgeous something like your modern take on *LIGHT'S VENGEANCE* would be.....
Stellar work, as always! This could easily work as an Old God weapon, wielded by the servants of the Void. And props by going the extra mile by giving it alternative color choices. More options are always better! One thing I'd love to see would be HD remakes of old raid/dungeon tier sets (like the Tomb of Sargeras armor being HD remakes of the Black Temple sets, or your HD rendition of the paladin Judgement set). I'd love to see new life breathed into those classic armor sets (especially the Dungeon sets, like Beaststalker, Lightforge, Valor, Wildheart, etc.). Or another weapon to make an HD remake of would be the *Arcanite Reaper.* That would be kind of dope!
Incredible work as always. Naxxramas gear has a soft spot in my heart and this is the weapon I always use for my warlock. Would love to see some tier 3, I think you'd kill with the warlock set.
This is so good!! Truly, this is such an amazing remake/update to the weapon. I had honestly forgotten about the original (because it didnt look that great) but damn I wish I could use yours in-game!
You're doing an amazing work! You should create a private part of the game as a private realm where you'll add all your updated models! It can be awesome
Man. That is so cool! Id love if they hired you and added it to trading post...but then everyone and their mother would run around with it and it wouldnt be as special. You are one hell of an artist!
God damn, Warriors, DH, and DK's all salivating at the look of this blade. It's glorious dude, I WISH it was in the game, it'd be in my top 5 1-handed weapons of all time.
All around love what you do...this update is excellent and I love the Artifact Weapon skinning treatment you gave it in the end. Only suggestion I'd have would be to have the stringy saliva inside break occasionally so as to not feel so rubbery and maybe add some drip to the corners of the mouth. Really good shit 😉🙌
Personally, I think the Recolors should have different particle effects The green one could have like a sludge or poison drip The Red one could have blood flowing through the fullest toward the mouth (which i notice you kind of did) Though the purple and dark green seem perfect
This looks really good! Only issue is that you are falling into the retail design trap of making all the "slicing weapons" look too bulky and stone like, instead of "metal" and sharp.
This weapon dropped from Kel'Thuzad in Vanilla Naxxramas, so it was removed 16 years ago, few years before transmog was instroduced into the game. So unless you played Classic, there is high chance you have never seen this weapon ingame.
Look if Blizzard put this kind of effort in WoW weapons on a routine basis. People would be getting violent over just getting this for transmog. Let alone actually using it lol. Damn this is so good. Reminds me of the Artifact weapons days.
Holy smokes, I so want that for my Death Knight! Especially the red one since I main Blood DK. :D This one turn out great, I'd even argue this is on the level of legendaries or above!
You're gonna end up single handedly updating all of WoW aren't you.
xD
If blizz would ever pick up on this guys work and actually apply it
It's painful to see this and be unable to use it in-game :(
What a cruel and unusual punishment
I mean he technically could, some of his stuff is usable on wow modding forums for private servers.

We should bring it back irl
So impressive! You’ve always been a great artist but lately your painting and texturing skills have improved drastically.
I like the sword teeth animation.
THE GREEN AND RED IS WHERE ITS AT. I think I can speak for all Death Knights and say that we appreciate all the amazing work and ideas you’ve got.
If this remake was on the Trading Post, I'd 100% buy it in a heart beat!
the camera still missing is actually the swords fault as our man, Tom, actually bought a new one, but then the sword munched on it, forcing him to buy another new camera
And last vid sulfuras burned it. Getting outrageously expensive here
damn. maybe next time, once things have calmed down, you should redo an armour set or something cause da weapons don't seem to like cameras

Blizzard hire this guy for your own sake, Hurricane does in game cinematics now, have this man on your art team somewhere.
The particules effects that you're adding are so cool
Amazing works. I love the alternate versions you offer during the glamour shoots

THAT LOOKS SUPER BADASS WITH THE NEW ADDITIONS!
so this is absolutely one of the coolest things you've ever made, and you've made some pretty damn cool stuff. The wispy bits absolutely make it, well bloody done 👏
Damn, that is some solid work, the special smoke/fire effect was a really good idea too!
Something something Blizzards needs to hire this guy something something.
I'm always impressed by your work Tomkek, I keep thinking it can't get better, and then you go ahead and make even cooler stuff. I love everything you've done. but this wonky lil buddy has a place in my heart and is probably the best work you've done on a weapon alone!
Exceptional work, as always! I'd never even heard of this weapon before this video, so this was extra cool to see.
Dude this one hit the spot, love the showcase featuring different colors however the Purple is still the one.
Keep it up, cheeers!

You have improved drastically. This is pretty damn awesome.
WOOOO Tomkek is back with another BANGER!. Cant wait for your BIG project!!! Even if it takes a year or two
Stellar work, as always!

Awesome work as always mate.
Our boy is evolving. Think this may be the most updated to current, not just texture, but true to the design philosophy yet
You've outdone yourself with this one. Absolutely amazing work man!
Take all the time you need brother, these videos are worth the wait
What do u think about making some of old, main characters from warcraf3?
Wow this glow really adds a lot of awesomeness to it
Incredible work as always. Naxxramas gear has a soft spot in my heart and this is the weapon I always use for my warlock.
Would love to see some tier 3, I think you'd kill with the warlock set.
Blizzard just needs to hire you already I mean my GOD all of your work is SUPERB.
This is so good!! Truly, this is such an amazing remake/update to the weapon. I had honestly forgotten about the original (because it didnt look that great) but damn I wish I could use yours in-game!
don't mind waiting a bit to get brilliant vids like this one.
You're doing an amazing work! You should create a private part of the game as a private realm where you'll add all your updated models! It can be awesome
Oooh, to be an unholy DK swinging the green one 🥰
This is really good! Great job! Great artistic progression!
This is so rad - I hope we get to see this big project soon!
This is so good man, one of the best you've done! Love the purple energy you added too!
Man. That is so cool! Id love if they hired you and added it to trading post...but then everyone and their mother would run around with it and it wouldnt be as special. You are one hell of an artist!
Really time you tackled skull flame shield, so many shields for you to tackle. (The alliance classic lvl 60 pvp one too)
This Blade never had my attention.
But this revamped blade could be top 3 best looking blades in warcraft.
Amazing job !
Amazing as usual, but the color variations and the magic coming out of the mouth was even better than expected.
that's some awesome work, couldnt help thinking though, as you were going through the colours, what it would look like with a sha tint on it
God damn, Warriors, DH, and DK's all salivating at the look of this blade.
It's glorious dude, I WISH it was in the game, it'd be in my top 5 1-handed weapons of all time.
The Wrath login music was SOOO good. Nice to see it getting at least a little recognition.
Great work as always! Keep it up!
absolutely SICK craftsmanship, 10,000 /10
I thought this guy would have had like 500k subs. You're amazing
This sword was supposed to have more H.R. Giger influence. The biomechanical vibe is very apparent here.
Amazing work as always my man
The fact that Blizzard *rests face in hands*
Absolutely amazing work!
Damn ... that is an amazing work!
This might be my favorite one yet!
It looks gorgeous. Good job!
You outdid yourself this time great job!!!
Amazing work as always, hope life works itself out for you.
All around love what you do...this update is excellent and I love the Artifact Weapon skinning treatment you gave it in the end. Only suggestion I'd have would be to have the stringy saliva inside break occasionally so as to not feel so rubbery and maybe add some drip to the corners of the mouth. Really good shit 😉🙌
Turtle wow unreal with updated tomkek models? Pog
its supposed to look like the mouth of sauron, or at least thats what it reminds me of
Incredible work as always.
Phantom Blade! - with a red variant too ( Modas Karkun - reskin for warlock tanks in SOD)
Ngl seeing this right after putting the recipe to it up on the auction house took me for a bit of a loop
Awesome work, as usual!
Another perfection by Tomkek. Houden zo!
I like the smoky effect a lot!
Imagine this with DK Tier 15 "All-Consuming Maw" Set
ooooohhh that final alt colour is peak.
I can't imagine what you could do with the warlock mounts!
Another great video. I hope Blizzard gets your models in the game someday.
I like the added smoky effect, it makes sense if you think about the weapon feel.
Patrick voice: I'll take 10
Personally, I think the Recolors should have different particle effects
The green one could have like a sludge or poison drip
The Red one could have blood flowing through the fullest toward the mouth (which i notice you kind of did)
Though the purple and dark green seem perfect
This sword stings and bites too!
ngl if this was in the game rn i would have so many lock mogs for it
very cool. a much needed update!
Holy shit, great work!
This looks really good! Only issue is that you are falling into the retail design trap of making all the "slicing weapons" look too bulky and stone like, instead of "metal" and sharp.
At this moment the devs are behind you, the mounts you do I will get in a heartbeat. Then the weapons you remake make them better than the original. 🔥
i like how you did the color variants like its from legion
I'd like to see what you could do with old classic robes.. they had such wonky 2D designs. Could be a fun challenge or a nightmare xD
God damn this is sick as hell. I need it in game!
this is absolutely amazing
All of those models should be in classic+, looks and feels great
dude, that looks freakin spectacular.
Love the little saliva touch inside the maw
Incredible as always
Love it! Chomp chomp
How are you not the owner of Blizzard already? :D Amazing work man. Love It!
It's a damn shame we don't get this on WoW honestly. The stuff you remake is so cool and i wish we could have it in retail WoW 😭
Gonna be honest - in my 15 years of playing this game I have not seen this sword once. Didn't even know there is such a sword in the game
This weapon dropped from Kel'Thuzad in Vanilla Naxxramas, so it was removed 16 years ago, few years before transmog was instroduced into the game. So unless you played Classic, there is high chance you have never seen this weapon ingame.
Blizzard need to hire or atleast commission your models. They always look great
Look if Blizzard put this kind of effort in WoW weapons on a routine basis. People would be getting violent over just getting this for transmog. Let alone actually using it lol.
Damn this is so good. Reminds me of the Artifact weapons days.
Holy smokes, I so want that for my Death Knight! Especially the red one since I main Blood DK. :D This one turn out great, I'd even argue this is on the level of legendaries or above!
Gressil, the Dawn of Tomkek
Never even heard of this weapon
Gressil is what becomes of Mouth of Sauron when the Master need a badass sword)
It's beautiful.
