- It was going to happen someday, and that day has arrived. I hope you enjoy this one my friends! Sulfuras was a remake that I could not afford to mess up, and I hope I didn't, but I guess you'll be the judge of that :)

The subtle change of having the void flames collapse inward was excellent!
Kudos for noticing :D
Blizzard should just hire you as a freelance artist -- incorporate your work into the game and give you a commission.
Ah shiet! Here we go again..
Acti-Blizzion does not deserve our good Tomkek, they have lost their ways and need to be redeemed before they have earned the right. Your gesture is still good though.
I agree, let this man replace every old gear set, mount and weapon in the older expansions, possibly even every other texture too, it surely would be done faster than the random pace blizzard reworks their old stuff anyway, and often they don't do as good a job as Tomkek does.
Blizzard: how long will this take to make?
Tomkek: 2 weeks
Blizzard: you get 30 minutes.
No. Do not hire this man. Fucking anything BUT hire this man.
This is absolutely peak design. I love this so much. You are a real artist.
One of the few regrets from before I quit is not getting Sulfuras.
People were quite annoyed with me as a shaman for having it, but the windfury procs in Alterac Valley were absolutely nuts. There was a 25% chance of just deleting people in a second
@@Link122 25% sounds too generous i think you mean 6.5%
@@Ayuima69 you're probably right, my memory is probably shining it in a brighter light.. Haven't played the game since just before MoP. It remains one of the strongest memories though.
NNOOOOOO!!!!!! you shout put it with the judgement set that you created! T_T it is so goood!!!!
now I'm very curious what it would look like with the shadowflame colorpalate
Voidfuras and Felfuras looked even better...
Bit sad he didnt do a frostfuras too
The theme of this weapon is fire/fel fire and shadow flame not ice so thats why no frost effects 😅
I’m glad that Asmon watched your videos, became a fan, and was able to sponsor your work through his company. You’re incredibly talented and I’m glad that you’re able to be funded to continue showing the world your talent.
Your stuff is honestly just getting cooler by each episode
You are getting so good at this, I did a course on 3d design and i swear once it got to UV unwrapping and trying to fix problems with the mesh my brain just melted and i went back to 2d drawing xD
Haha that's not uncommon 🤣
Once you know how its not that bad but it's def a lot at first
@Tomkektv yeah I think I might need to get back into it again, watching your videos is very inspiring.
I was also using maya and 3ds max, I feel like i might have better luck with blender at least for tutorials and troubleshooting 🤣
I def think Blender is the way to go. It's a great program, free, and has an amazing sphere of resources around it.
I hope you give it another shot, and if you do, feel free to hit me up if you ever need advice or get stuck on something!
@Tomkektv thanks mate, appreciate it ❤️
I had that weapon, in real vanilla WoW. Best feeling ever at the forge in BRD.
God damn that is such a badass redesign
Damn, loved the reverse fire effect on the purple one.
Good job!
love the design! very nice work
I was thinking the same thing, merge the normal and the purple one together.
going from blank and painting your base colours is pure insanity! though it comes out so well its incredible. Thanks to you, over the last couple months I've finally found a style I want to pursue. I cannot wait to see more of projects, keep it up!
The way I imagine it, someone probably forged the handle, dipped the whole thing in molten lava, and pulled it out with the hammer head fully formed like a popsicle on a stick.
Awesome video as always, would have loved for the final scene to show a Paladin in your immaculate Judgement Armor rework wielding this piece of art lol
Holy crap my dude! Looks fantastic! Love that my 3 favorite weapon designs from stories/games erc are from the same games..
Sulfaras, Warglaves of Azzinoth, and Frostmourne❤️
You're an absolute legend man, i dont even play wow and these are so entertaining.
Keep up the good work! I love the step by step process from start to finish. The animation effect looks great!
damn that looks good, especially cool with the flaming effects! nice job :D
It looks amazing Tom! I always love seeing all your updates to cool older sets! Can’t wait for the next one!
I gotta say, I was worried when you mentioned you were adding some flames to it, but they turned out well!
Huge fan of it, making it look like the spikes broke the surface of the hammer, allowing the flames inside to escape!
I do love all of the variants! Classic flames vibes, Murmure's frost and Fell corrupted one! Amazing
Man this is one of your best yet.
Respect for how much time this took. I also adore the fire effects. 🙏
Awesome work with the texture animations ^^
Absolutely amazing! I love the Purple Flame and Fel Flame variants so much, especially the fel flame one, I am a HUGE sucker for anything fel green lol.
Keep up the amazing work Tom!
Awesome work as usual! Great job!
The goofy way the 2H maces are held in WoW is really the cherry on top.
I liked how the character model you used at the start of the video was Madseason, nice touch.
All of your projects are insane man. My eyeballs are smiling indeed. WOW 🎉
The first attempt had big Blood Elf design energy.
Your model looks amazing, the rocky pockmarked look on the hammer is a great touch.
Very cool as always, well done!
Looks great! I appreciate the reverence you show for the original artwork when doing your remakes.
It's beautiful! Great work!
as always, Tomkek delivers
man your take on sulfuras is even more badass then sulfuras normally. and shit i really do like the shadow and fel tints you made for it too
Loved the Mad Season model! Please keep these things coming!
incredible work, as always
Ragnaros: "BY FIRE, BE PURGED! GO NOW MORTALS, AND KNOW THAT I AM THE FLAME ETERNAL! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU THINK YOU SMOTE ME, I WILL ALWAYS RETURN!"
Fantastic work, Tom! Once again, you killed it. And it's so cool to see how your are improving in both process and result. Looking forward to the next stuff! Would you dare to go for some non-gear/weapon stuff? Can't wait for the day you redo Stitches.
the particles look absolutely amazing!
Amzing work as always
One of the things i hated about the stat squish they did years ago, was my classic lvl 60 Pally, who has this mace, got squished to a mere lvl 25... But the Mace?.. oh no, that now requires lvl 30 to equip!!! **shakes fist**
Love ya work! I like how you inverted the flames on the purple version!
Amazing work man
Those recolours man! Holy crap, they are awesome!
Dang, that purple coloring looks insane!
Now THIS is the legendary SULFURAS
this guy don't miss ... like ... never. keep up the good work.
That fire effect takes it over the top!
Outdone yourself there 👌
I really like the dripping lava effect, looks immense.
3D print some of these next? 🤣
Absolutely brilliant. Those recolors were inspired choices.
Amazing work as usual my dude! Makes me want to try 3D sculpting, then I try and realise how hideously time consuming it is cos I am not familiar with it at all...oh well! My suggestion for your next project; pleeeeease I would love to see a remade Windrider mount. Yes I know Blizz made one with the big horns, you know the one, but I really want to see the classic windrider looking like a proper leopard-lion-bat-scorpion. Plus all the animal textures would be a fun challenge for you! ;D
I agree. I have thought about this as well but it's quite a big project. I might do it at some point, but there's a lot of mounts still left to do :)
As far as sculpting, it's actually a lot more intuitive than the manual 3d modeling you see me do, so I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!
Looks amazing, as always.
It would be super cool if you could update Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers.
One of the most difficult quests back in the day and a super cool bow even now!
Bro this is fuckin sick!!!! Now that you're working with particle effects, maybe we'll see the Dreadsteed soon by you 👀 been waiting on that one a long time ❤️
Looking forward to what you got next man 😄
would be awesome to have this weapon on game with an effect similar to "when reaches x amount of y the weapon turns into xx doing yy" and changing from the red glowing (to the outside/releasing energy) to the purple version (glowing to the inside/gathering energy) and make it a "on use" ability to explode or something. BTW Great job!
10:18 Taste the void of Voidfuras!!! By void be purged!
And recolors at the end?? Incredible!
The other colors looked really good! A shadowflame version would have been the cherry on top.
Always looking soooo good! Can't wait for Warglaives of Azzinoth! Also hoping Blizz adds a Tennogen(Warframe) style store to support amazing artists like you and getting these things into the actual game!
I'm honestly surprised Nintendo hasn't come after you for the DK music.
Good shit as always. :^)
Honestly Bethesda already tried their best last vid so I wouldn't be surprised 🤣
I knew you'd see this one mr. bald
At some point it stops looking like painting and starts looking like sculpting. Love your videos!
Your effects techniques are impressive.
If I didn't want WoW dead, I'd want you on the dev team.
Hell yeah, I‘ve waited for this!
BY FIRE BE PURGED! 🔥
Nice remodel. When I saw you model the pommel, I thought you add some fiery flaming jewel (in time 2:12) that represent the elemental power (or dancing flame). And it would suit well for void and fel version of the weapon aswell.
It's an absolute fucking CRIME that these models are not actually just pulled into the game at this point.
Now THAT is a mace worthy of the Firelord. 😎👍
Sick!!! Better than the other existing ones in game by far!
Dayum, looks fantastic. Great job lad ! Time to repair and put an upgrade on Thunderfury ?
Turned out so freakin' good.
Thanks! I was doing something new with the fire effects so I was worried it would turn out a bit goofy. I'm glad that it seems to have landed well though :)
@@Tomkektv Yeah fire effects are always one of those things that could be hit or miss, but it totally meshed!
Now make that Paly hold it while riding a charger lol.
Astonishing work as always, Can you please do the Untamed Blade next?
If only classic wow could get a face lift with your style. You stay true to the old designs while modernizing them.
I would have almost gone even further and given these runes on the head a bit depth and highlightened them with ambient occlusion masking so you can really 'feel' them being carved into the hammer.
There needed to be light blue version of this hammer..
Damb bro this was phenomenal.
I can just imagine what you'll do with Arthas' hammer 'Light's Vengeance' with these new light effects... 👀
awsome as always
I like how the flame scroll on the purple one was reversed
Amazing work! Please do the dreadnought t3 armor next!
WTB Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers
man you know talent when you see it, and this man is pure talent
this is really nicely done!, i have to ask, could you try to make Hailstorm?
Looks a lot like "Sulfuras, the Extinguished Hand" now, the Firelands remake version, give or take a few spikes.
yes and no, the handle is bigger and the character is holding it by buttom part of the handle. it looks bigger and cooler. and details and effects are better than firelands one :P i always hated old and new model for being too small fora two hander.
this is GORGEOUS
holy shit the fire looks so amazing * - *
Amazing as always. I do wish you'd've moved up the place it's grabbed a bit, or just seperated the human model's hands but I know that would take a ton more work, also would be cool to see a character in your Judgement armor wielding it like the Classic Paladins of old, trying to keep that Ret dream alive
Top tier. Should release the 3d files so people can port them into the game with the mpq editor for test/private realms
I actually do, however I am quite behind on them. Every model should soon be free on my patreon :)
"By Fire Be Purged!"
Great job man, love the outcome. If i may ask, could you do something to the mage Tier 2 Netherwind set? It was okay, but I think you could do better. Keep it up! great vids!
now i'm just thinking about , someone in blizzard design this legendary weapon more than 20 years ago , with those old softwars! ... such a amazing job they do on those years ... the best game and lore ever m forever
love this version of ragnaros! i know it might be a bit much to ask, but do you think you could add a shadow-flame version? not sure if it works with just recolouring tho to get the same effect
I would've loved to see a Shadowflame version of it.
Should’ve done a dragonflight shadowflame version
Really good work though, always excited when one of your videos pops into my feed
ahh cool, you got a Starforge sponsor, very suitable after all the times I have seen Asmon's commentary over your videos. Hey Chat
I really want that Fel fire one omg
Perfection 🔥
While I think you did an absolutely amazing job, I feel like the original (to me at least) looks like portions of it are made from gold, which is an effect that was definitely lost in the cata remake and partially lost here. Also wasn't a big fan of how spikey it became versus how much more of a quirky hammer the original felt like. Though definitely props to the haft and pommel of it, those parts look ace and the fire effects you made are wholly dope especially the lava drip effect. As ever, great work!
