I'm just going to leave my two cents. He has asked to be left alone so stop preaching to him. If he posts art in the future he now knows what to expect.
Just my 2 cents, something's a little off with the proportions imho...don't know exactly what, maybe make the feet just a wee bit bigger? and the muscles on the upper leg more pronounced?
On your feet soldier!!! dont give up! you can become a good artist. Hang out on here and soak up as much as you can. Go to GDC and enjoy it. My two cents.
I feel that lighting needs some more work. In my opinion its a bit dark right now, big parts of the plane are hardly readable because they are fully in the shadow. Maybe increase the overall exposure, or add an additional light source. those are my 2 cents. overall looks pretty cool
To add my two cents in the mix, as 3dreaper said, using Marmoset Toolbag 2 is a good idea. The program uses the same PBR shader as UE4 so it would look identical compared to inengine.
I have the new intuous medium pen and touch at work and a monoprice tablet at home and I much prefer the monoprice tablet - 2 cents! - http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=6814&gclid=CjwKEAjw0KK4BRDCiKHD5Ny8pHESJACLE620Jb4PW_adi4GVHqr3t97ClrwWYtwowwOA44Vn2zSs8RoCIDXw_wcB
I would just start working on the handle now instead of picking at the metal more. Right now the metal looks damn good and you can always come back to it later. 2 cents.
This is looking real sharp! Personally, I'm not a fan of the current helmet...mainly cus ur covering his face which would be fun to show due to it's unique look. Just my 10 cents...
I really like this concept! (playing syndra a lot) but I would love to see her with her eyes visible. I think that might add something to the model. just my two cents -.-
The suggestions here are good. My own 2 cents - this is a ridiculously simple prop. Using texture memory for such an object to do so little is absurd. Chamfer / bevel, put a tiling texture on it and call it done.
