Phurba Dagger

Axios

Here's a phurba that I've been working on. I'm currently on the diffuse map, with a spec map and proper lighting to come. It's sitting at 4838 tris and a 2048 x 512 map. I'm not sure whether the painted or unpainted version is better, so I'd like some input on that. I also may change the color of the paint itself if it stays. Maya viewport shot right now







Thanks!

Looks pretty sweet... Only crit I can see at the moment is the eyes on that elephant in contrast with the pupils giving a lot of attention. What if they were just pure white? Or pure red?

Very nice painted textures, especially at that woven metal work.

Pretty slick, it'd be nice to see some slight variation in the metal though as well as some lustre and
worn down details.

I think the painted one is a better choice, the unpainted one just seems a little flat and uninspired compared to the painted version.

Thanks, guys. I'm glad to hear someone tell me what I was thinking in that the painted one looks a bit more lively than the unpainted. I edited the diffuse some and added more variation in the gold and added a spec map. I needed to get a quick presentation shot together so here it is in Marmoset now.
