boredom lamps! update on the cannons soon and more 2 come

[Gephoria]

small update changed the texture on the main base, re-optimized it (chamfer can really screw things up sometimes) added details to the wheels ( i think i'll leave wheels alone now except maybe adding a color variation to them all on different cannons) other than that my ideas for when i'm bored will be to probably make a pirate ship around the artillery designed below.

Geophoria,

It likes you've got some textures (wood base) stretching in a few places. You mentioned beveling some edges, just curious if you edited your UVs after making changes to your geometry.

[Gephoria]

i have a turbosmooth above the uvw on the stack, still deciding if i would like to keep the turbosmoothed version or not, i'm thinking not the texture is laid out for the nonsmoothed currently

[Gephoria]

no update on the cannons, had a feeling that felt like pokemon

[Gephoria]

it's been a while since i've posted here, having an exciting life somewhat. I was bored and made a new pedastal i'll display art on from now on, scorpions on the side symbolizing my status in the world as a planetless scorpio (R.I.P. PLUTO)

also put together a simple 3 point lighting tutorial and threw that up on my blog check it out if you'd like let me know what you think!
thanks for viewing1

The renders are dark and poorly lit. It makes it difficult to see the work.

Your presentations are wacky. First of all, that pedistal should never be used again. Composing a 3-point lighting tutorial doesn't mean you understand it as all your images are dark and poorly lite. The logo URL on the boat image is unreadable. And this spear image is three screens long.

Find a nice standard image size, like screen resolusion. Get some real info on lighting, print screen from editor with no lights or even better, screen shot you art from within a game engine.

One of the classic mistakes of beginner artists is they bury themselves in poor presentation. You're a great example of that.
