So first you claim his work looks cartoonish and unrealistic, then you tell him it would fit better in the BFMEII Dwarven faction. Am I to conclude you find this faction realistic and gritty instead of a blatant cartoony Warhammer ripoff? 

 

Nah, that's silly.

 

Besides, you need *some* color and vibrancy to be able to distinguish parts of the model ingame.

Dealing with you can be very difficult. My issue is the vibrant nature of the texture, which I dont like. But it fits with the vibrant and cartoon like look of bfme 2's dwarven faction. Which I also am not a fan of. Im meaning to say that the look he has created fits well with the existing dwarves.

I prefer the look from the films as a basis.

The last one is a Work-in-Progress, but how's the armor looking on them ?

Last 2 Pictures models = Blury. First 2 pics = Alright. Its getting there! Also, Nice work on all the others i havent checked them out in a while so i am sorry for not posting but you are defiantly getting better.

[...] but you are defiantly getting better.

 

Sometimes your diction is a little (more) confusing.

 

On topic:

Both of them look very nice, but due to the darker armour, I like the second one better.

[Elric]

Sorry haha - Autocorrect sucks! I must of spelled definitely wrong

[Rider of Rohan]

All Done for today I think : 

You could look at them with a zoom feature here :

Also, if anyone would like to use these models in their mod, I'd be willing to give them to a few mods ....

So just give me a PM or if you have me on Facebook you can ask me there .

Not bad, not bad at all

but whats in the hand of the bottom left one? some oddly textured ball?

[Rider of Rohan]

Lol, it's supposed to be a club, I'll have to HD those weapons since they're just ripped from another model .

[Mathijs]

Some thoughts: Add more shadow below the rims of the helmet where the face starts. Right now it looks too flat. Also, the bottom right one seems to have a chainmail/fur coif? I can't tell (this may be a problem) but I can tell that the shadowing beneath is too much. Also, the orc on the bottom left has the rape-y eyes still

 

But overall I like your progress.

[Rider of Rohan]

Lol rape face.
Better ? ( I tried to fixed upon your recommendations ) :

[Nazgûl]

Hey RoR... nice work on those faces! =)

[Rider of Rohan]

Thanks, but how do these look ? Any improvement from last time ? :

Old one :

Yea I've been watching some serious Return of the King lately, so that might explain alot ....
Helm took 2 hours to get right and Pauldrons 3 (excluding its horrible mapping). I'm considering making a new set of 'realistic' anims for them. begun animating as well, hence the new poses.

I'm sorry, but I have to say the proportions and facial expressions are that of a Lego minifigure.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

And the armour's way out of condition to be used in the army. Too dirty for the esteem of a Gondorian, and the lack of detail on the armour itself is killing me.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I like the grittier look of the armour it makes it look distinct.

[Rider of Rohan]

Irene, I used this same image, literally for the face and its proportions :

Spoiler

And I can understand the lack of detail .... or basically :

(.... its horrible mapping). 

And thanks Rad, at least you noticed what I was going for !

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

I don't know, the mapping's not so bad, just the texture. And typical of you, Rad, to disagree with me

[Rider of Rohan]

A WIP on the Pelargir Pikemen :

Just started the texture, but I think the mesh is pretty much complete. Might have to make a few tweaks on the mapping to.

I'll criticise the texture when you feel it's more than 'started'.
