Dwarven Thane v2

Here be the Dwarven Thane aye. I've made a model based off Samwise's concept quite some time ago but wasn't completely happy with it so now I've made a remake.
It's actually finished but I thought that it would be good to get some opinions before releasing it to public.

Well then, give me some comments aye

I have to be honest, dwarfs are not of my taste, but this one owns too much. Verrrry nice.

The feet look a little odd, would be nice if they went out a little further instead of looking like they are just part of the legs. Or maybe that doesn't matter in-game.

All in all this is pretty damn sweet, thumbs up!

I liked the old thane and I like this one!
It looks really good, though I think the skin has a bit too much grey :hmm: Maybe the horns shouldn't be metal, too?

Too much metal you say? Well, in the concept horns are made from bones i think so maybe I should try it.

Nice work, Norinrad. I have nothing to critique.
This one goes straight into LoC when it's released

Curse you, and you're amazing Dwarf models... Must.. resist.. making.. Dwarves!

Seriously, great work. I especially love the glowy blue particles streaming off the hammer; nice attention to detail.
Bone would probably look pretty cool on his horns, and reduce the metallic-overload.

Great job overall. When do you plan on releasing?

I want this model! It would fit perfectly in my map!
It's nothing else than beautiful. Are you gonna release it so I can use it? (lulwut)

+rep

About realeasing, I think it won't take much time. I think that by the end of the week it should be released. Still, I need to tinker around helmet a bit.

And thanks for rep ^^ Good to know someone's waiting for this : ]

Imo, you should leave the horns the way they are. But if you must change it, put a leather/cloth wrap towards the bottom of the horns to add detail.

what can i say? its awesome.

I've been working around the horns for a bit and now I'm not sure about wnich variation I should choose.



Middle one is closest to the concept but one cut horn kinda breakes vision of an epic warrior imo.

The right one has the old horn with new boney texture. I looks fine I think.

Left one has two horn with this metal thing on it's tips. It looks interesting but a bit overdone maybe...

Well, I don't know. Any suggestions anyone?

*Middle* - You're right, it fits the concept more precisely, but looks weird in real life.

...

Day 23: I have finally referred to Warcraft and the Internet as "real life". My spiralling descent into madness continues.

*Right* - I really like this one. The bone looks a lot more natural and 'dwarvish' to me. However;

*Left* - The metal, to me, only makes more sense; what self-respecting Dwarf would settle for simple bone, when you could cap it off unnecessarily? :P
However, somehow this one seems a lot taller than the plain-bone one; too tall, in fact. Perhaps shorten it a bit, blunt-en it too.


*Result* - tie between Left and Right; Left with Changes = FTW?

Right, it's simply awesome. Submit it or die.

I like all 3 of them and to be honest, especially the one with the cut horn ^^
