I created a completely random unit just now. And I need your opinion on it.
I started off with the idea of making a Belesarph paladin. And my intended inspiration for this unit is to take the Samurai but with bits of western armor on there and some unique animation and than add carnival colors on it. And that's still what I intend to do for the paladin. That's not in question. What is in question is this particular end result. And frankly I am not sure what to make of it.
Spoiler Seriously, like? hate? dunno :
And yes, that is indeed a hound scull bascinet under a samurai helmet. I am definitively keeping that part as it looks suitable jigsaw puzzle everyone's favorite teenage girl played with a make your own knight set too much.
But for the rest I am 50/50 between using this model and fiddling with the skin a bit and starting from scratch. So what do you people think?
Spoiler Seriously, like? hate? dunno :
if you are still waiting for an opinion, I like it a lot... but the samurai part is too apparent and predominating.
maybe add a knight/paladin cape ?
or hide the greaves under a full grey-ish leg armor ?
regarding the Mazalt, I'd rather they have a more copperish armor (see the radiant guards, but with more vert-de-gris) and less a golden armor.
otherwise your work is amazing !
