It was first intended to be a axe
I`m really happy with it so far.

May be just me but I think there is an inconsistent light source, the handle is dark at the bottom, but the hammer head is light on the same side o.0 IMO make that bottom part of the hammer the darkest.

Update

I`ve fixed the light source (hopefully)
and added some more detail to the handle

Add some darker spots where two cracks meet. It will give it more depth.

And the yellow on the stone is not needed.

Try making it less straight. Make it look used. With chips out of it, stuff like that.

The handle looks pretty good.

The hammer looks like it could fall apart. Maybe make the cracks lighter in the middle. That might help it look more put together.

Looks better, the palette change was a major improvement. I think you need to fix that handle. Where the handle meets the stone shouldn't be shown. There should be a shadow or something.

I like this version much more, it doesn't look like the hammer is going to fall apart anymore.
