hand painted pillar

I played a little of Star Wars: The Old Republic during the free trial last week and I was really impressed with its graphics. It's not hyper-realistic Crysis-like but I think it's really beautiful with colorful stylized graphics. I like how most things look pretty low poly but have really strong normals that pop. So I decided to try and make some models with a hand painted look and give them normals that push details. As I look at it now, I think the texture could use a bit more color in the metals
