Small Art test I've literally just finished and emailed off so I'd thought I'd post it up so ppl can tell me whats wrong with it 
was limited to 8 512's and 8000 tris although I only used around 4000
Not had much time to work on this recently, but I'm close to getting all of the major rock structures complete which will be a big jump in the progress, this is the outside area which will be in a semi-blizzard

Thanks for the replies all, been working more on the human Tibetan props since I last posted, already fed up of doing rocks 
at this point the lighting is still temporary so its not really showing off the models particuarly well

Thanks
I'm trying to go for a victorian industrial style theme think i need to incorporate the elements a little better in the texture work, the skybeams I more or less slopped down so there completely off I'm gomma try upping the saturation on the skybox and hopefully make the sun less of an orange smear - thanks for the crits 
JoshuaC , Looking pretty nice, the main thing that jumps out for me are the textures are too similiar in colour, maybe try adding a darker wood texture to the trim? Good luck with the comp!
Been slowly working on my map, not had much time with moving and looking for a job, hoping to have it completely finished and baked before the Unearthly Challenge

Maps going pretty well, spent some time playing with the lighting, post process effects and additional details making sure it looks good in a small area, drew up an asset list only 11 assets to go!
I don't really know to be honest 
I always thought steam punk just meant victorian trends and technologies in the current world but looking around the net I realise im wrong - not sure which way to push it yet

Quick update on my Victorian themed map, layout is more or less blocked out concentrating on building a decent number of assets to populate around the place at the moment and seeing how they fit
ultradr3mer:
its all looking pretty nice, is it based off an underground bunker? Was wondering as this site might be useful for refs, http://%7boption%7d
My biggest problem with it is there are several lights which don't seem to have a source for example the second image has a spotlight on the ceiling and floor but no visible light source, if there is a light source and i just can't see it don't mind me 
the lighting also seems to use the same colour, varying it a bit maybe using a light cold blue around the edges could make the lighting contrast with itself and push everything outwards
This link should help http://%7boption%7d
The other problem is the wall and floor textures all have roughly the same colour putting in a trim at floor and ceiling height of a nice rusty orange again will make everything pop out and not blend together
Hope that all helps
Hey all,
Looking foward to posting here, some impressive stuff around, Very early shot of my first map I'm working on, not a one-view portfolio showcase for once

Theme is based around a rusty ornate victorian styled powerhouse, which is slowly falling apart to the elements - not hugely original I know, but hopefully it'll look alright
Oh and ignore the lighting that was started when it had a completely different theme
