Ryparian- "The Tide Breaker"

For my final portfolio at AAU, I decided to create a series of magical weapons, since props and weapons are a little outside my comfort zone, and I felt like it was a gap in my portfolio. Ryparian is the first object I worked on in the series. It was inspired by a character from one of the D&D campaigns I run, a barbarian who wields a magical great axe bestowed upon her by a mysterious water deity.
