Moderator's Review: mhm.. tweak the legs a bit so they don't clip with the skirt when he walks. stand anims could use something more going on, or just another where he looks around. backpack pipes should stop smoking at the end of death anim and they shouldn't smoke at all in dissipate anim. backpack shape could be a little more than just a skewed box. make gun-flashes bigger, and give him some tapering and up-turning on the mustache edges . Pipe connecting the backpack and arm could be better rigged.. change his death sound to something more fitting a gnome.. weapon attachment doesn't show..

everything else is cool and working

Changes made, resource approved

omg I love it

 

[Chen]

Oooh very nice! But he should be smaller.

 

[GreeN!X]

AWESOME! I love the face + moustache. )

 

[Rheiko]

it's cute! i love it

 

[Pvt.Toma]

Glad that you guys like it

 

[Uncle Fester]

creatively made, but i'd rather use the belt part of proudmoore's or the bandit's texture for the headband of the goggles. but other than that very creative model

 

[paladinjst]

good work ! but i think it will be better when u make a Upturned mustache . that's more like a gnome .

 

[infrenus]

For some reason that gnome reminds me of doctor Mario... cute little guy.

Cute little guy, and interesting concept. I like the droid-turret-arm-thingy. However, I feel like (while somewhat fitting), an all-straight-white Lab Coat may not look so good in-game; no contrast, no definition. Aside from wrinkles, it needs a taste of Warcraft; giant science-belt, or massive goggles... Something. Also, he's got Hero Glow, but I can tell you he'll need a lot of "heroics" to really fit that. Might be better as a unit.

Lookin', good, though.

Ahh, a giant belt eh. Maybe something on his back to go with it too

Definitely, and thank you; you reminded me of an important point.

For Goblins & Gnomes, you have to find ways to make them "show-up" in-game; the modeler is always at a disadvantage if they want to make a Goblin or Gnome correctly proportional (since they will melt away in-game; just too tiny). As a result, pretty much every single Goblin (or Gnome, though they are less "around" in Wc3) model has something to increase it's silhouette/profile/size.

Shredder -> giant mech suit
Zeppelin -> giant balloon
Sappers -> 3 Goblins (2 buddies to the 'original' Goblin as a team to stand out)
Tinker -> giant claw-arm steam back-pack, platform shoes, cowboy hat
Alchemist -> massive Ogre companion, nozzles & potions, & wooden seat.

As such, you really have to find a way to make your guy stand out. Aside from the belt, I think something on his back is a sure-fire success... A techno-electric backpack wouldn't be amiss... Perhaps unfoldable wings, or techno-arms for fixing stuff, or a rack of tools that slides out... Etc.

Just updated with a backpack, nope, no giant belt XD

 

[Kazeon]

seems like you work hard on this

EDIT:
since the animations and the model its self is fully custom.

 

[Uyarrr]

I think you need change head :/ and he is too long for gnome.

 

[Pvt.Toma]

Yeah, I heard all your comments, so I've updated it yesterday. Just saying to let you guys know, that I frequently update my models without saying a thing. Yeah.

 

[RoaminG]

Mustache attack :3 ! I love the Head <3 !
