[Weapon Swap] - Orthos - Grineer Polearm

justincoocoo · Nov 2015

ahhhhhhhh excite, my first polycount thing! i'm new to warframe, and i love the grineer stylings, so I wanted to try my hand at a grineer reskin. first thing of it, but this is my take on a grineer polearm similar to the orthos. i'm basing most of the design on the basolk, the jat kittag, and the amphis. here's hoping i finish :P

Update! Please let me know what you think!

Definitely can see the inspiration on that one, cool. The handle looks very flimsy in comparison to the ends, might want to look at what was done with the Amphis a bit. Taking the peach coloured bits behind the blades a touch down in scale for this piece might help with the weight as well.

Thank you Kary! I've thickened out the rod and reduced the size of the backguard. I also blocked in a leathery bit like the Amphis has around the midpoint of the shaft, and done work on some bulgy greebles around where the blade attaches to the pole. Thanks so much for dropping by!

self note before I forget; make those blobs more defined, add hard edges. GRINEER ARE NOT BLOBBY. Smooth Grineer shapes have hard edges defining plane changes within the rounded shapes. Compare Basolk's chassis bits to the polearm's. Basolk has a "plateau." Check esp blobs around the handle. blade also needs sharpening, unless you already did that
