An excellent, in-game fitting model with great execution in art and animation. Great job.

Wow. What an amazing model. I must say that I am really impressed. Especially from you Direfury, your old models lacked proper animations, but this one is sick!
 
I knew that :oops: *hides*

Forgot you were a part of that team XD But that's right you made the icon for it, right?
Aaand the concept-art. Gave tiny tips along the way to help direfury with the proportions and I also did the texture. But yeah the icons too! Direfury worked his modeling magic and focused on the animations :)

And again, Team "Direfury + Literally Anyone" cranks out another beautiful model.

I don't have time now to extol it's many virtues (& should probably wait for my Contest reviews anyway), but trust me this guy is pretty sick. You have only improved over the years, and Mr. Goblin's input has almost certainly made it better as well.

Let's also not forget; not only did you make the primary model, and an expansive set of accompanying SFX, but you basically made an entirely separate second character model in the form of that blue 'paint goblin' thingie. Sick 2H-dagger animations right there (except Attack-5; no blade strikes the front, it just looks like inches forward & waves his arms a bit??).


Of course, this will only ever be a distant second-place to the true Mr. Goblin model. ;D

No way I can ever use this... Unless I add @Mr.Goblin to something... Hm...
Ah dannae, I'm thinking the same thing... And I'm wondering if I can't think up some minor modifications that would make it more useful generally. Thoughts?

Mostly it would be replacing the giant paint-splattered scroll on his back, and replacing the giant paintbrush in his hand; everything else is pretty Goblin-y & could be made to work. There's not a lot of tech on him, but that could be because he's an Explorer or Adventurer or something...

Paintbrush -> ?: I don't know if the classic 'wrench' would work here, since the tip of his paintbrush flops around... But maybe something else. A lantern-on-a-stick? A mecha-flail (short-chain)? Etc?

Paint Scroll -> ?: My first thought was to make this just a simple bedroll (i.e. that 'adventurer' concept above). Probably wouldn't change anything but the texture. But alternatives... Tough due to floppiness as well. Perhaps a robotic back-pack thing with a missile-launcher or turret, which are on articulated arms (to allow for flopping)? Or a couple of giant potion vials, with liquid sloshing around in them?

One thing that could help is deciding which 'school' of 'Goblin culture' he fits best into. Mechanical stuff is the de facto obvious choice, but what about Alchemy, Explosives, or Economic stuff?
 
Yes. It's to give it that effect of something that is about to explode.

The missile was made like this for Mr.Goblin's ability where he throws a can of paint at a target location. I'm still currently working on the abilities, but I posted two WIPs here and here.

But you can make the twinkling red and yellow respectively for paintcan red and yellow no ? I think it could like better...

I figured a few kicking attacks would also be fitting. Attack - 4 was a little faster than I was hoping, though.
