Stylized viking I made for class

Stavaas

Doing my first year of 3D design and animation, and this is my final product of a 2 week project.
I decided to do something stylized, and landed on a drunk viking!
This is my first time making a bipedal humanoid, so I'm pretty happy with how he turned out!

Is there any way to colorize the AO? Seems a little too crushed to black.

First run ever? Good start

So much black! going full black in your textures is never really good. The textures feel like they are still a WIP. like you have blocked them out but still need to finish them. I think your model and textures could be pushed further and with the style it looks like you're going for, the dota 2 art guide could be helpful with texturing style and tricks...

Even without a high poly to bake from this info is helpful

Thanks for the replies!
Now that you've pointed it out, I can see as well that it's too much black in it. I did want to tweak the textures a lot more before submitting, but due to time limitations I had to just get on with lighting and rendering. I'll definately use those art guides for the next stylized model I make!
