Bring the top jewels of the crown downward. The inside part too. It will make for a much more interesting shape. I also think if you moved some jewles from the top areas, down to the bottom band, the item would look less cluttered.

[QUOTE=randomteddybear;35619405]What would you suggest I do to improve it?[/QUOTE]
I'll give it a good look and come back with some draw overs for you.

Don't get me wrong, it's well made and certainly shows you've improved from the polycount version.

Something like this? I'll just have to center the jewels and re-bake.

I think you need to find a new game to make items for, because this is all you can do with TF2 now.

The backpack is more easily redeemable, I'll make that now soonish.

I agree with most of whats said here. I dont agree on the matter of drawing attention. When a unique items such as this is included in the game, it will definitely draw attention out of curiosity initially but then it will quickly become a point of recognition which is actually good. We all saw that with the black box as it initially drew crowds cuz it looks really different. Then a day later its just like another weapon in the game that is easily recognized.

I do think that it should be smaller and toned-down like how tony said.

I know what you're getting at, but the problem is that it is a huge spinning machine.

It's more instinctive that we'd be more attracted to the massive spinny thing, which is why the minigun spins as it draws focus to it, a revved minigun is identified as a threat and visually attracts the players eye to it.

so a large, coloured spinny thing with a glowing beam coming out from it would certainly be more attractive to the primitive part of our minds that say "OOOH SHINY" than an actual threat such as the black box.

I know his point, but to tell people what they should be doing and/or quit is not very encouraging. Last time i checked, nobody here is under payroll to do stuff for them and even then none of us has the right to tell the other what to do.

Of course this is the old Kralle model. Honestly it is the only medigun custom model I use. I love how different it looks, and with the spinning prongs it really looks unique in-game imho. But thats just me.

[Constructor]

I don't know what to say about that.

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;35621055]

I don't think so at all. Who wants to make another sticky bomb launcher? hey. let's make yet another shotgun! It's all been done before and it's getting older by the day. This is not to detract from some of the great work people do! it's just a shame they are re-making a pistol replacement, rather than designing their own characters and stories.

The characters original weapons were so well designed, and so well thought out, that expanding upon them feels so forced. yes, there are a lot of really nice items that have been made, but its all still visual clutter. This isn't be being a grump, I just really feel it's all been done now. If valve were to make TF2 now, intended for it to have cosmetics, they probably would have designed each character differently. Imagine if they were to bring out a new game now, with the intention of cosmetic, I wonder how they would approach that.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;35621160]I think what he's saying is all that's left is rehashes[/QUOTE]

Yes.

On the Kralle: If the design was made more concise, with less visual clutter, it would work quite well. it just looks like they kept saying 'so, what more can we add to it!'

Ah, yes, but since middle age feudalism isn't part of the[QUOTE=Deodorant;35607279]themes and culture from the 60s[/QUOTE] I woldn't count it as [QUOTE=Deodorant;35565249]fitting[/QUOTE]

Also, even though the crowns are different, they're both very typical designs. You could find them in a political cartoon, a piece of clip art or an inexpensive costume shop. This, combined with their previously mentioned chronological dissonance with the game makes me consider them [QUOTE=Deodorant;35607279]random crap[/QUOTE] and part of the [QUOTE=Deodorant;35607279]generic cesspool of cliché, shallow pop culture references.[/QUOTE] that infuses the game with [QUOTE=Deodorant;35565249]extreme but unfitting variety[/QUOTE]

I hope you're not offended. You know you're a great modeler anyway.
