onto texturing, going to try handpainted textures for this guy currently sitting at 4994 tris made after this concept: http://www.wc3c.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=38790&d=1228247620 by this artist: http://www.erwtenpeller.com/
Been doing waaay too litle "oldschool" work so that's what I'm doing now. I think I'm starting to get hang of this handpainting bussiness so update should come soon. ;) EDIT: Original texture size is 1024x1024. Dunno why I posted a smaller one. :P
Maybe most people wouldn't, but to be perfectly honest I like the sharp, flat shaded geometry. Stylistically. Adding more detail would just give the singular asset more character - but if you can adhere to a sharply lit style with soft, colourful handpainted textures, over a whole scene, it could be really cool.
