New Engineer Blacksmith Set [WIP]

[Burly]

Hey, not sure if this is the right place to put this thread..

I've been working on a Ancient Blacksmith set for the engineer, still very WIP but here's what I've done so far, leave some critique or comments.

Cheers,

I would replace gold with bronze in that statement

 

[Brandon]

wow, looks great!

 

[VP :3]

It's looking really good so far! But I do agree, the horn-wing things could be changed to another color.

Thanks for the support, I got some 'splainin to do about the horns/wings.

The wings on the side of the helmet are supposed to look like the ref image above, I was thinking of sculpting the detail of the feathers into them but I haven't decided if that would look good yet. If it's not obvious what they are then I might have to.

Anyway about making the wings gold/bronze, that's something fairly easy to change, I'll see if the change is worth it, but I'll probably stick to the existing TF2 colour palette.

Here's the Blu colours I did a while back.

I haven't made any new progress since my finals are next week and I'm in crunch mode. When I'm back home in a couple weeks from now I'll be sure to update this thread with progress.

Thanks again for watching,
Burly

HNNNNGGGGG, huge necrobump. I worked for a few hours tonight after ditching this project for a couple months. A lot of the changes are under the hood (resculpted beard, new UV map, brush strokes ~uguu) so I'm mostly bumping to put some gas in the tank.

I know you guys dont like the colours but to be perfectly honest, everything else I have tried looks terrible.

Yay enjoy

Edit: totally messed up the lighting set-up so it looks worse than before, too tired to fix

 

[Endless]

looks good man! Keep it up
