[WIP] Handpainted Ornamental Bridge

ThePowFin

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to break my silence in these forums now as I am getting closer to my graduation.

I found this interesting looking bridge concept by talented RobertoGatto on deviantArt,
and I just had to ask for permission to make it in 3D. http://fav.me/d97l3ec


Here's a Marmoset render of what I have managed so far;



I have worked on this under 20 hours, but I think I might be
getting carried away by some of the variations to the color variations like darker, dirtier tones of red.


PS: Gosh, it's hard to try to push the 'Submit New Thread' button this early in the process and seeing the concept and render this close to one another for comparing

Really cool concept, you should add an AO map on top of your texture ( multiply 10-30% ) it'll make everything " pop up " imo!

But really cool, I'm always impress by hand-painted stuff...

Cheers!

some of your proportions are a bit off. the red decorative loop/wave/things on the sides are a bit too large. as well as your gold sections around the arch don't match your concept, you have too many. I think its a good start though!
