[Weapon Swap] – Orthos – Starcutter

OSP-Scata

Hello all!
Well, I've decided to participate... but couldn't post this topic earlier because of problems with naming my Orthos skin (so I couldn't name the topic, lol). That's why I'm posting all of my previous work on this.

1. First of all, there's the "evolution" of original idea in sketches.

Firstly, I'd caught a reference to Necron warscythes from Warhammer 40000 franchize and drawn it roughly. But we need the completely original content, so I initially tried to give it some Grineer(ish) look (next 2 sketches). I even made a rough low-poly for it:

But then I decided that Corpus-like style is better, and I've "hybridized" Orthos with Archwing axe, Onorix (http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Onorix) The last sketch became the final one.

2. Then I've began to work on model. Firstly it looked like this:

Now my low-poly Starcutter Orthos is that (with original model to compare):

Thanks for viewing!

So, time for another small WIP. I think default skin colors will be something like this:
And I see tint map like this:

(well, it's a draft, so don't be surprised of some inaccuracy)

High-poly is almost finished (with test colors):

Low- and high-poly models (wires are demonstrational, because I'll bake textures from non-modified mesh):
