Started modeling wildstar sign from this concept(mid one):



Concept art by unknown arist, let me know if anyone know who draw this
Planning to do normal maps and handpainted textures + some animation practice in the end.
Finished:

Started texturing, decided to move away from concept colours a bit 
Would be nice to hear some critiques/opinions

Texturing progress

This looks great, that Zbrush sculpt is beautiful. Im not to sure on the colours though. I know it was purple in the concept but I dont think it works in 3D. The purple is really distracting. I think it may be due to how saturated it is. If it was tonned down, it may be eaiser on the eyes.

Really great work regardless. Are you planning on modeling another one? I'd love to see you model that top concept.

@emerald-shine thanks man, agreed with you about colours, was thinking about desaturation them all a bit and especially purple 

Was planning only to do middle one

Torch

Qwedeath, you nailed it dude! Maybe some more contrast on the metals for more shine? But still, looks great.

Have you got a folio at all? Would be cool to see more or your hand painted stuff.

@Torch, thanks man, attached my portfolio into signature  
So played with values a bit, added more contras to metal and desaturated wood a bit, also here is another color scheme for fun(i like purple)

Here is me trying to help hope it does, the purple is very overpowering.  Dominion usually has red, perhaps your going for the other side?(for get name - alliance comes to mind but that is wow )

Nice i love me some wildstar. (portfolio if you want to see what i did in the game, before F2P.)

@DavidCruz thanks for the paintover and tips, already tried that color on the sides and it didnt work well
So i've did another step of polishing and updated sketchfab with rough animation sketch
