Low poly rts medieval/fantasy project

Dat_Kid_Liam

Hey there! I'm Liam

First post, just an intro. I've been working with 3ds max and photoshop for the past 18months and i've been studying a cert 4 in multimedia and diploma in multimedia(Another 5 months). I have never really finished any models or projects as i would kind of get stuck on something and just drop it.

Now i'm here to finish everything i start with the help of you guys. Comments and criticism welcome.

4 (+4 programmers) of us at Tafe are currently working on a medieval/fantasy RTS and i've been given to the task of making a heap of assets! I started them on Saturday.

The art style is very cartoony hand painted kind of textures with my first attempt below.

Heres another piece i've been working on for my portfolio. An RPG, it's sitting at 400k+ polys so i'll save it for real texturing practice!

Peeeetah

the irregularity of your castle assets are really nice. it's refreshing to see someone who understands that not everything is all straight lines. looking good dude.!

I like how it feels as though they have been with cardboard

Im not sure if this was intentional, but it looks great
It looks like a miniature town

Small update here guys, Done a bit more modelling and started on my own hand painted textures. Talk about interesting! I'm loving it and i see why sooo many on polycount have taken up the style.
Hope some of you pros out there can chuck me some tips

@Peeeetah thanks man! I have to keep the poly count quite low but i had to capture the cartoony kinda of style somehow. Cut and extruding a few extra polys around the place helped heaps! I've now learnt silhouette first, model 2nd.

@Alismuffin Miniature town ay? I think it may be the lack of textures making it look like something for toy soldiers :P I'll have to slap some goblin or human models in for scale before the next pics.

Any criticism gonna be chucked my way?

i'd like to see a little more stuff before I can really offer any criticism. like i said, your shapes are nice, no real crits there. maybe a few crossbeams on the towers. throw some textures on there and i'll give it another look. as for the texture you have now, it's a little blurry in places and i'm not sure it will look all that great from an rts view.
