review: cons
the blade should be replaced with the shredder texture in my opinion, it would be a better color, less stale and less uniform to the rest of the texture, easier to animate, because its not a 3-d shape but a 2-d one you can get away with it spinning more on point, the saw you currently have bobs up and down and that type of spinning's hard to correct 100% with a 3-d spinning shape (trust me I know) and you could use a global animation sequence to spin the saw blade as fast as you wanted, for ever and ever and ever and... ever.. and ever... and ever..
and during death just hide it and replace it with another one that's hidden during all other animations and doesn't spin. =D having no issues with continuity!
the death animations terrible, not you're fault, it just is. you really should try to build a brand new one, where it explodes or falls apart or something, if any thing, just not that one, it ruins the mechanical-ness of the art, the legs shrink weirdly, the tail flops organically, the entire death animation just looks messy, *blames blizzard* if even just slowly shrinking onto the ground before suddenly disappearing in a burst of flames.
I think you should try to throw in some other machine textures and metal, like the cars in the race map, there's some good textures there. places like the legs have nice wraps, but its body in general is too uniform, it looks too much like an armored scorpion rather then a 4 legged pincer-ed saw bladed drone.
pros:
walks un changed and fine,
attacks seem cool enough.
that eyeballs pretty awesome--maybe add a glowing light or two? I thought that eyeball seemed familiar, heheheheheheh hey minimage? hey??? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you get it. lulululul
the face in generals quite nice
7/10
Approved
also the bottom of the legs could use being better wrapped as well. try to make joints connect to a whole mesh, aka snap those vertices together.
