I'm not liking the fangs, but otherwise :yes:

These double tentacles may or may not be a good idea...



As for the tails, I went with thin blades instead of thick ones, since the original looks kinda fragile there - the thin middle section, then the heavy tail volume behind it.

Hmm. I'm thinking that it's still looking too streamlined, especially with the second set of spikes that contour the front (what happened to the blunt "nose" of the the profile view?), and the thinner rear section. I still think of the Knossos as a more chunky construction, akin to SUV rather than a sports car.

If that's what you're going for, then great. Especially since there are no other canon Ancient constructions, you do have a fair bit of free reign here, as long as it doesn't "feel" wrong.

I get the feeling that the model's got no volume or that's too thin in some areas.

Am I the only one who see's a Vasudan in that mesh?
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Ditto.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha

I feel it too far a departure from the cutscene anims Knossos.

So many people said the same thing about c914's Cain / Lilith and everyone loved it in the end. :P

Nice work, I encourage you to get the model done as quickly as possible. :) One, nearly irrilevant critique: IMHO, there should be more spikes on the top.

Well, since the general opinion seems to not like the sharp things at the back, I redid them, adding some more volum, also closer to the original now. This better?

Yeah, looks nice.  What's the spiky things between them though?

And that's why it's needed for [phlebotinium] to work.  :)

Cool. I think it's kinda weird that the fins now face each other though. I mean, the thing is supposed to beam phlebotinum at the center of the portal, not into its own components. It also means that the top profile now looks somewhat more boring.

An idea is maybe make it so that the spikes look like they interact with the inner rotating bit somehow. Could look pretty cool.

(Are your screenshots isometric or perspective? I'm asking because I'm having a hard time telling. I'm guessing it's iso though)

 
The spiky things are the supports of those fins. Also, what Dragon said :)

Yeah, the shots are isometric.

Noted. That probably explains why I'm getting a feeling of "something about it looks wrong/feels different from vanilla" :P

Yeah, that one varies so much from the original I'm not really sure I'm down with it.
