Finished (kind of) will get more shots tomorrow/texture sheet if theres interest.

__________________________________________________________________________

So Ive had to find myself something to do whilst I wait in a 3000+ server queue...

Heavily inspired by the "Iron Horde" aesthetic, I guess this thing might be classed as an axe? The texturing is pretty much complete but I plan to add a few more things:

the "grills" around around the motor-type thingy will be glowing with heat, it will also spin in a counter-rotation to the blade (because why not?) the metal around the blade and parts of the blade will also be red hot. (gonna try my hardest to emulate this http://www.wowhead.com/item=113979/the-black-hand&bonus=0)

Always desperate for feedback! I do realise my texture sheet optimization could be a WHOLE lot better though

The detail density seems a little bit too high I think (amount of cracks , wrinkles, information per area), but not too much. It would just probably not read that well anymore if put on a wow character and zoomed out appropriately. This also seems to be the main difference between the black hand and your item.
Other than that, I think the texture itself is absolutely fantastic. Any tips on how you worked?
Greetings from someone whos currently in a 3200 queue as well.

the style is very cool but it dosnt look like wow at all, it reminds me about Metal Slug or something along these lines
Its very gritty, the wow art uses less detail and noise I guess with more flat color

Eliteabix

Hmm okay, cheers for the feedback guys. Could you point out areas or examples of it being too "noisy"? I do get what you mean but I dont know where best to remove detail.

@TeriyakiStyle, Thankyou so much for putting the time in for that! very much appreciated Ill have a crack at that tonight and report back!

WoW weapons have usually a focal point, with some color that "pop", something that catch the eye. Yours is very "monochromatic". But I like the textures and the details though.

Eliteabix

Okay, so I edited the texture per Teriyakis advice, also added fire effects, unfortunately screwing up my big diffuse file in the process, curse you 3D-Coat (Just kidding, I love you)

Still yet to add a special effect I had planned but its late and Im le tired. Crits still super welcome!

[Also added the concept/orthographic I made to get the design clear-ish in my head]
