Archway WIP

Blackblade

Hey guys, workin on this HL2 mod to throw some more stuff in my portfolio and I need some crit on this one, I get a real amature feel from it and can't pick out what it is (other then my lack of experience on the part thats destructable ).

You reference concept art is great for proof of concept and atmosphere, but it's useless to you for detailing this arch. As the asset creator, you need to research and create a collage of other arches (google it, flickr, etc) to present elements for what you're going to do here. This will help you with your constructions and destruction because based on what you've made, this arch is made from a pile of gravel perfectly stacked then coated in stucco. Also having proper reference will fix that shape you made your arch at which wouldn't be able to support itself. Beyond that, your technical execution thus far is clean, and that's a good thing.
