Orc Blacksmith (WC1)

[loktar]

Ok this one kinda sucks I think. Not sure I can do better. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve it I'd love to hear them

Almost perfect. Some few details missing like the entrances to the gray towers.
The original has the pathing texture as the beige towers, yours as the gray. Would be nice to be different than both, maybe, like the red one around the building? Not sure...
The walls should be thicker though.

Thanks! I just noticed there are some little spikes on TC part missing too. I will add the entrances and make the walls thicker.

What do you think these little things are supposed to be?

Not sure, I suppose those could either be some spiked barricades (you know like the medievals used but here's orc spearthrower spears) or some remnants of stone blocks from building the gray kilns.
The others on the brown towers including their red team coloured parts seem to be spikes, at leas the ones down below seem to. Maybe the ones on the team colour parts are thicker, shorter and blunter?

I think it's gravel.

Oh I like that, would add some flavor to the model. A bit boring now TBH.

Hmm could be too. Some orc spears would be cooler though I think.

Cool thanks! I like those chains but I think I wanna stick closer to the original Adding some little doodads in the middle part there is a good idea though, like a barrel or crate. Maybe some axes/swords or something.

while mine is almost drastically different, but who knows, it might help with reference.

It wasn't a pleasant place from what I remember haha, I consider it like 4-chan lite.

Yeah it could be pretty nasty, no wonder they closed it eventually lol. Had its good sides too though, but I spent way too much time on it xD
