Kraken Set

I will hopefully be polishing up my submission to make it into the game in the future.
My old thread is here.

I'm not going to change up the halberd much, I think it's pretty solid. I need to do some texture changes, and maybe some UV map adjustments.

My main focus will be on the helmet.

Here is it's current state.



I think I will give the general design an overhaul. I decided it is probably best to nix the squid shaped head. I did some rough concept modeling tonight. Changed the head to be more traditionally shaped and the front to hopefully be more interesting. I will be adding more rivets and other construction elements than the original to make it look more authentically hand-made

threw around some brackets and rivets to see what it looks like

Made the high-poly. Next step sculpting.

That is a badass improvement! look much more menancing

Thanks uk

I worked on the handle texture and uv's of the halberd

I finished up the helmet sculpt, low-poly, and UV map. Baking next.

This is coming along really well! The shape of the helm is much more readable, and it's easier to understand the construction. The only thing I'd say is that the tip of the tentacle extending out from the spiral is throwing the design of that great curvilinear shape you've created with the tentacle spiral. It could honestly just get chopped off and be good. Other than that, no real comments on the helm!

Thanks for the feedback Dim.
I have been working on the textures. Here is what I have.

Looking great jackalope ! However, I still would have a suggestion: the yellow looks a bit strange on the helmet. It looks a bit mustardish to me. That's just my personal opinion, but maybe you could try another yellow or another colour ?

Thanks Knight, I adjusted the brass color a bit.
I think I'm ready to wrap this one up, unless anyone else has further critique.
