Flying island

"Classic" flying armored island housing a long range machine gun :) Modeled from sketches and used as a practice to hand paint textures over lowpoly geometry.
Find the sketches at http://constructidecepticon.wordpress.com/2014/09/11/vicky-house-and-some-more-sketches/

I used a 2K Difuse, 2K normal, and 512x gloss, spec, emission, and lightmap.

Difuse had been handpainted over the baked AO from the model.

Final geometry is 10.5k faces

To pump up a bit the model, in Sketchfab, I baked a light map with shadows in it. Also use a bit of mapped emission from the leaves and tips of the grass to emulate subsurface scattering.
