Hand Painted Signpost - A First Timer
polycounter lvl 8
Hey all,
Huge lurker here. Love this place, but haven't had the confidence to make a post yet - you know how it is. :P
I've been working on this here signpost for an assignment in a texture class I'm in. Diffuse only, hand painted, 1024 map, and under 1000 tris were the requirements. This is my first full asset I've done from concept to final, and am feeling pretty good about it.
There are a couple of issues that stand out for me. Namely the sign hanging from a single chain. Having two chains for balance would have been a bit more believable. Also the chain itself would have been better off as a flat textured plane, and not geometry. Another is the base of the sign. It appears as just a rock with a stick coming out of it, with no real construction. Furthermore, the end result was a bit off from the concept I initially painted, but I think it was for the better. The last thing is I really wanted to do was put a bird on top, and may still do so. We'll see.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
