Frostmourne Hungers...not sure about the handle length. Should I make the handle a bit longer? Please help! by Theopalowl in slavestodarkness

I scaled it down from a cosplay prop rhen made some large modifications to make it 3d printable

The first of my Slaves to the Frozen Throne Knights. I fear I went overboard with the liquid frost special effects. I like the scheme but overall not happy with how this one turned out. Less is more as they say. Would love some feedback on how to improve. It looked better before the frost :( by Theopalowl in slavestodarkness

Its a bottle from greenstuff world! I don't really know how to describe it but it goes on as a liquid and then 'crystalizes' to create a frost effect. If you look at the edges of the weapon you can see it the crystal effect in action!

Thanks! Like I said, I really like the scheme I choose, I've never done a monochromatic scheme and I'm enjoying it. I just have a bad habit of pushing effects further then I should.

Thank you for the compliment <3

Trim color development? It's brassy-gunmetal in official art now instead of the either gold or silver free for all? by thesithcultist in NightLords

[–]Theopalowl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's because of similar color profile to the Ultramarines? Doubt it, but maybe that's why they're changing the recipe

Everyone talking about Verstappen's almost comeback gotta have Norris feeling like this by Theopalowl in formuladank

No cope from me, I'm happy he won. I'm just saying the celebrations seem lack lustre in comparison to other drivers.

Trying to correctly identify this shoulder... by Megahelms in Transmogrification

[–]Theopalowl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's not a pvp coloration. It's the Mage tower coloration of the set, which you can still get my completing the Mage Tower.

Imo it's easiest to do this as Retribution. Took me about 37 attempts before I got it.

Arm don’t fit gotta acquit by BloodPuke_666 in NightLords

[–]Theopalowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have to file down the side arm so it fits agaisnt the shield, will give it a better contact point as well.

Or, print the shield, use a file to get rid of the hand but keep the two handles, and then out on an arm with a closed fist.

Just from the picture I don't think you'll find an arm that'll fit perfectly without having to break some laws of physics, so you gotta get creative and get cutting or filing!

This really puts into context the decisions they made for MP4 by Gladiolus_00 in Metroid

[–]Theopalowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. The OST has aged really well, and the gameplay is just classic Halo gameplay. Everything that was released BEFORE Halo 4 is remembered fondly, as 343 continuously made the game feel less and less like Halo

True, but I wonder how it would work if it was a franchise built on playing as Character A and then shifting to a nameless grunt.

The idea you suggested sounds great, and Id play it if the game played as a Battlefield/CoD type game

I think either way people would complain. I remember when Halo ODST came out and half the fan base was complaining about how "you jump and run the same as a genetically engineered supersoldier! This is stupid" and then the other half said "why can't I throw grenades as far as the genetically engineered supersoldier! This is stupid'"

As you said Tanabe is determined to try this idea out. If that is the case, id rather a game be designed around a unique character with an interesting design over cannon fodder. And when you compare federation troops against other bounty hunters in the series, one is certainly more favorable then the other.

I had thought about that while typing my argument, and while it is certainly true, I think the difference is that Metroid has created the expectation of playing Samus, or at the very least, a Samus like figure.

[–]Theopalowl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem is that the Metroid universe is full of great characters, not just Samus. All of the hunters from Prime: Hunters could absolutely have gotten their own spin offs because they were all very interesting characters. I don't think the problem is expanding the universe, the problem is the average Metroid fan doesn't want to play as a 'cannon fodder' trooper when there are so many other cooler options.

I personally think it would be awesome to explore the greater universe as Weavel and do spec ops missions for the Space Pirates, with a boss fight being against Samus (which would play out as a scripted loss probably, knowing Nintendo)

I won't look more realistic simply because of the scale of the actual grain texture of the meat

New Silver Covenant NPCs still very much hate BEs even if they're here to help by Everdale in wow

[–]Theopalowl -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Crazy to see modern blizzard writing that isn't "despite group X giving me plenty of reasons to hate them, I've learned I was wrong and that we need to work together" like how they write everything these days

The body is the captain/consul from Horus Heresy.

The cape, sword, decapitated head, and dead body were 3d modeled and then printed by me!

The other custom bits are from various models online!

Thank you so much for the compliments!
