Stun Baton -- Critique Pls

Gustavo_Elliott

This is the stun baton I created for last month's environment art challenge. I modeled it in 3DS Max, textured in substance painter using default materials as bases to work off of (Wanted to see how good I could make them look, I was quite happy). I strayed from the concept's materials a bit but that was on purpose.  What do you all think I could do differently here? If I do decide to re-texture at a later date, what should I really focus on to make it pop?

I have since started on my next project and think any critique given here can be applied to the environment I am currently working on, Don't hold back please!  I'm really going to need to find a job soon and need all the advice, critique, and knowledge I can get!

Bump for some juicy feedback

Bump?

The grey and gold metal is too clean. Could use more roughness variation.  Right now it reads flatish.  Easier to pull back details than to inch forward, so I'd reocmmend overdoing it.

Modeling looks fine, assuming it's a FPS weapon.

@Brian "Panda" Choi Thanks for the critique, Brian. I really appreciate it! yes it would be an Fps weapon, I will keep your advice in mind when I go back to do another texturing pass after my current project. Thanks again!
