Warcraft Buildings

tekkhi

Hello! 

First post, i'm in my final week of a university assignment and am just wondering if I can get some pointers for some things to do on my project during the final week to improve them before I hand in.

They are some warcraft buildings which I have tried to recreate into a newer art style from something akin to Overwatch/Heroes of the Storm.

Could you post some images of the original models, for comparison. They look pretty good, is this lowpoly or highpoly?

Looks very cool. Might also be nice to see some renders done in a similar fashion to how the game camera would be positioned.

It looks good but I think it is really busy in some areas and doesn't give room for your eyes to rest.  The 1st floor on fortress works well because you have a few bricks sticking out but nothing too crazy.  Above that though, every brick sticks out and it makes it hard to track.  I think the house looks great because you have large defining shapes on the silhouette and then rest area between beams.

It's a great idea and a great start. What will bring this work to the next level is playing with shapes. As far as I remember Warcraft architecture has more exaggerated almost cartoony style, right now your models look like they're from a more serious fantasy game, like Warhammer. So, without changing anything, choose the most prominent part of a building and exaggerate it, then try playing with deformers to achieve more stylized shape. Something like this 

There's really no limit to how exaggerated a shape can get. Look up Fable Legends architecture as an example of that.
