Artwork differs on whether it's his left or right arm, so I'm glad to see you've decided to supply both. Why is this in substandard, again?
As far as I understand the judging was not adjusted for Reforeged and operates as if the models were SD.
While it doesn't state in the rules, the decision appear to be that models should be custom and not made form existing geosets, no matter how much work is put into them.
But this might (must) change in the future, simply because how much more work there is to do for Reforged models:
- Multiple complex to deal with nodes (attaching a bow to a non archer unit will take DAYS of work)
- Way more detailed, separate textures (1. for different parts of model, such as head, pauldrons, weapons, etc.), (2. as well as 3-4 types of textures, Diffuse, Normal, ORM and sometimes Emissive)
- And of course much more complexity in the geoset itself
While it is true that some simple edits might not need to ¨steal¨ the spotlight from advanced models, the rules must apply fairly for Reforged.. just check all ¨substandard¨ models, and judge for yourself compared to accepted SD models.
