Hello, I've been banging my head again the wall for several hours now and I can't figure out a decent way to create this pattern so I can array modify it and shrink wrap it onto the handle.

I've tried:

1. Curves but for some reason i can't properly work with them
2. Cylinders with Twist Modifier
3. Poly modeling but the twist is horrendous
4. Vertex with Screw modifer but can't get it right
5. Sculpting but that didn't come out decent.

I've found this tutorial but some steps are very confusing and i dont get the same result

Thank you & have a great day!

Hello everyone! Fallen Starblades from LootTarvern is my new Project. The end result is way better than I expected, had a lot of trouble and fun with this project, especially with the sculpting part (Lion Head) but in the end everything worked out!

You can watch the full Timelapse on my Youtube Channel if you're interested:
