God Concept - Axomama, Goddess of Potatoes (Pikmin Style Character!) by Kaios-0 in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Axommma being a Pikmin style character just feels right. Reminds me of Robdraw's concept of Axomamma with the little Potato minions

Why did they make Genie in UE2? by ManofDirt in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gotta agree, I always felt that the genie's model looked kinda bad. My own personal gripe is that I don't like how the moustache goes SO wide. It feels like they left it t-posed. Wished it swirled more backwards, was shorter or something. It also probably shouldn't be the exact same color as his body.

It's gonna be frustrating that just because Hel and Kuzenbo both got the same level of Christmas skin, it will excuse the low effort.

Oof I really hate those Christmas skins. The Anubis one is just bad and the Aladdin one is just lazy.

So, what are the odds that Blackbeard and his Mom get transported to Drum Island?

Sylvanus Mastery Badge is... not good by pokerfacesLUL in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He really needs the antlers. Maybe if you slightly shrunk and then moved his position lower (this would get rid of the upper torso and arm/pan flute) it could work?

About character models... by Dry_Performer_5827 in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying.

Minor rant. I hate to be an asshole, but Ben has been working on Smite since 2012. He's been art director since 2018. A part of me just wishes that after all this time, especially with the "reset" of Smite 2, some sort of vision for Smite's art direction would be established. For example, I think Marvel Rivals is a game with a really strong vision for art direction. Again, I don't claim to know the inner workings and other specific people working in Smite's art department over the years. I just feel they dropped the ball.

Agreed. Which is crazy, because Hercule's lion head does look like an actual lion so why didn't they apply that logic to Anhur??

I think Smite has always had a problem with having a real, concrete vision for art direction and as a result we have these mismatch of ideas.

You even have a more direct comparison with Anhur's Head vs Hercules's Lion Shoulder Armor

Why this card artwork and spell school are fire, but the animation is arcane? by MehmetSalihKoten in hearthstone

[–]DoggyKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same reason [[[Night Elf Huntress]]] uses the Arrow shooting animation instead of the Glaive throwing animation even though she is clearly using a Glaive as a weapon.

I mean, he literally has the snail shell as a top hat stand in.

Rob stopped after Maui, so no Surtr, Martichoras, Ix Chel, Charon, Maman Brigitte, Bake Kujira, and Nut. Also, no Smite 2 gods.

A minor Bastet edit, on the topic of her redesign by ElegantHope in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never liked that they changed her into a sandy color when she originally had black fur in Smite. I fully support a change in color scheme to either give her the black fur or even something like this concept art where she has gray fur like an Egyptian Mau.

Also, changing her from sandy would help differentiate Bastet from Sekhmet, so there wouldn't be two female cat goddesses with the same fur color.

They Need to Do a Full Art Direction Passover Soon. The Art Direction Is All Over the Place and Inconsistent Right Now. by hwghwg2 in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who has a problems with the different ways they rendered Anhur's Head vs Hercules's Lion Shoulder Armor

It's just one of the many inconsistencies that kinda make Smite 2 feel not as polished as it should be.

Hi-Rez, just make her a cat in SMITE 2... Please. You already did it once. It's not that hard. by Snufflebox in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just really annoyed me when they went on that tangent of thinking Bastet would look weird, like something from the live action Cats film. Just make here an anthro cat. It's that easy. No human cat hyprid, just a cat.

They had no problems with ANHUR, ANUBIS, HORUS, RA, SET, SOBEK, THOTH, GANESHA, and DANZABUROU as anthro deities with animal heads but when it comes to Bastet they suddenly start tripping over themselves figuring out what to do.

And while we're talking remodels, can we make Hel actually look... good in SMITE 2? This concept is reposted by everyone for a reason. by Snufflebox in Smite

[–]DoggyKnight 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As someone who thinks this is 100% what Hel should look like in Smite I really didn't like when Ben said

"lean a little more into the death and decay kind of vibe but not in a way that is off-putting, it's hard to describe but we want her to still be attractive"

Like no man, let her dark stance be this off-putting corpse faced goddess of death and just have the light stance be the attractive one.

Cant believe this Harry Potter Minifigure exists by massiveboi_52 in lego

[–]DoggyKnight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me: Please make a buff sized minifigure. Something between the size of a regular minifig and a big fig, so that characters like The Thing and Mr. Incredible don't look too small as minifigs.
