My AT-ST
Next stage is to add more bespoke details and damage to give it more character

Not much to say, looks awesome! Love the foliage poking out of it, not something you see too often on mechs and it works really well.

The ao looks too strong to me, but overall it looks really nice. I like the foliage on it especially. Might be able to push the spec a bit more too.

Edit/ the detailing and spec look great in that first shot, but the detail is lost in the others. Perhaps its your lighting?

DarkwingDuck

Thanks guys

I completely agree about the spec. That's partly why I want to add some more blast impacts and large scale scratch damage, especially on the cockpit.
Lighting may be playing a part, but there are some large flat surfaces there that look a bit samey at the moment, and more spec variation could help punch it up a bit.

it should stand on an ewok in proud-hunter-pose!

DarkwingDuck

Good point actually.
I need to create some kind of plinth or something and pose it up.

Started to create a diorama setting for this a couple of weeks ago, but only just got round to posting.
It's supposed to be a Dagobah swamp.
Currently the AT-ST doesn't really sit well against the background and I'm not sure where I'm going with this now :S.
I think perhaps the lighting is muting the spec on the metal as I currently have a skylight as well as the directional. I'm not a lighting artist and am not really sure where to go with this.
Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome as I've kind of stalled and it's not coming together.

Thanks

Rotate the camera 120 clockwise so that you catch it from the front, and add a second or third one(s) behind it, just coming out of the water.

Changing to the standard white paint scheme would certainly cause it to stand out more clearly from the background.

You can also increase the amount of brown in the trunks, and reduce the green of the fog.
