A couple changes I might make later, but I think it's okay for now.

Alright, this one will probably take some more time

I don't really like how this looks. Theres something too abstract about it.

Exactly my issue. I'm trying to make it look more like a machine. A very skeletal, sleek, intimidating machine...

I'm using the absolute most efficient modeling I can muster... which is interfering with the hyper-realism I'm trying to achieve. Even then, I've already reached 12k triangles. This is going to need to be heavily simplified for the item model.

I suggest getting rid of all the small things and making it chubbier for starters

So I'm kind of running out of TF2 stuff to make, and the big chunk of what's left is the Dr. Grordbort stuff. I hadn't intended to make it, but I'm thinking that now I should.

Of the following seven, what should I make, what should I not make, and what should I make first:

For a more skeletal look i'd recommend changing some of the colors, using more pole like protrusions and maybe an old gasoline motor :D

You only took 3 hours, how the heck do you work so fast???

Well I had dinner in between, so cut me some slack. :/

So which one next?

How is that in any way making it more skeletal and realistic?

... colors have nothing to do with that, and who in their right mind would put an ancient motor on a futuristic laser?

Machina.

I'm color coded. In my mind, more rustic browns and greys make something look skeletal. And of course I would put a gas motor on a futuristic lazer cus i like weed wackers

Agree with tesla godammit
