Hi!
Preparing for my portfolio (after 2 months I will finally be able to scearch for a job :D) so I draged out this old piece I did 2 years ago.
These are unmodified, I am thinking of making them better for my portfolio, but first I want to hear what you guys think of them.

Textured in photoshop and rendered in Maya viewport.
No fancy normal maps or anything, just color texture and lightned full ambient.

they look pretty good. Most of the metal parts look a bit more like stone then metal. Might look better with a few highlights and shadows painted in for reflection.

The metal looks almost like stone, eh?
I have never noticed that but now that you say it I do agree with you a bit.
I'm defently going to work on that on my touch-ups

Cool designs!

Right now they look pretty flat though. I would add a bit more shadow below edges to create a sense of depth. Maybe alter the models if necessary. Also, I think worn edge highlights would help.
