Decided I'd make Gordon Freeman's HEV suit for kicks. WIP

You all know the source image...



I'm not really going for an exact replication... it's handpainted so it's not going to be super detailed... but... yea. thoughts?

Don't use the vertical striped illuminated texture - it is intended for piping, and thus just looks out of place. Also, stick to one type of texture style. The light grey doesn't work well with the brown-grey.

I took a lot of inspiration for that wall from portent, it used a similiar texture contrast, and looked really good so Ill see whether I like the end product, if not I can just swap it out in under 10 minutes.

Im also thinking Ill add an epic back part of the wall, and then the background terrain and stuff can be seen behind that.

here is a base i made just today, it's going into a map im making.

It'll be attached to some cliffs, and have a dirt arc going up to it

I just want to know what I can do to make it look better.

I like your style llama, can't wait to see it finished

Drew the sketch on paper freehand, painted with mouse in photoshop.

The actual concept has all these tentacles over the front of its "head" but I left them out so you could see the front of it's body easier.

Edit: Made concept better.

bullshit, looks fine.

you can use it for whatever you want, just because it's ALSO on some piping, doesnt mean it's what it's intended for.
