A lot of this just screams "we want to maximise profits on stuff we know we're not going to localise"

I'm a bigger fan of her brother, Hatsune Michael.

@nardak: ... I kinda do, just to see what it would be.

THROUGH THE FLY ARE MONSTERS

YO DOGG WERE THERE CHOCOBOS?

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Maybe I could put some wear and tear on the blade, and exaggerate some of the proportions (like the curve, etc.). I'll also take a look at the hilt.

@extomar I just researched some Chinese/middle easter weaponry, and went from there. For the graphic design, I tried to incorporate a little bit of Juggernaut's backstory into it, as well as look at the designs he has on him (his mask, bracers, the back of his pants etc.). For the modelling I used Blender, and I then used Photoshop to create the textures. The workflow was a little daunting at first (especially dealing with creating maks1 and 2), but after reading the techinical requirements page and official valve texturing guides, the problem became a lot more approachable.

@nubikal Thanks! I initially did have a gradient for the design, but didn't like the way it looked. I'll go back and try and mess with that. I wanted a subtle specular highlight across the orange secftion, because I have a self-illumination mask running across the red part, and I wanted the two to sorta pop visually. Also, I was totally confused by M2 blue channel -- I don't think I used that channel at all. I think I get how it could be useful now though. I really like your submission though man -- especially the water effect on it. The pommel and the hilt look really good, as does the blade, but maybe the water effect is overpowering the shape of the blade? Other than that, I would totally buy that item.

In my spare time (read: lunch hours during work), I started modelling and texturing away at an item for dota 2. I'm not really great at either or these things (I'm a programmer, so I'm as artistic as a rock), so I'd like some feedback, if you'd be willing to help me. Here's the page link.

And here's some art/screenshots:

Are you worried about it being canon because it seems so over the top and ridiculous?

I have always found the series to be so. MGS2 re-affirmed this belief when they introduced a bi-sexual vampire man that could run across water.

I don't play super often, and I'm from New Zealand. But hey, if you don't mind my accent, and me lagging all over the show, it should be fun to play with some GBers.

I still come back to this thread, every now and again, just to brighten my day.
