Opinions on my Map [Not A Submission!!]

[PyroTortilla]

Hello!

So I recently decided to build a Poseidon map because I think he is definitely one of the coolest (if not the coolest) of the Greek gods. Attached is a screenshot of my build so far.

Any advice on detailing or critiques would be nice, and please let me know if this looks too much like Zeus (which I know is already a map). If you do think it looks too much like Zeus, suggestions for changes to make it more Poseidon-like would be very appreciated.

Thank you!

EDIT 1:

The hair and beard have been detailed a bit more and the trident has been redesigned. I tried doing water being lifted by the trident but I couldn't make it look not stupid so there's that. Still trying to figure out making the eye area super flat, and I'll keep adding to the water he is bursting out of at the bottom to make that look a bit better.

The face looks a little bland, not sure what you could add to it to not make it look as outcast. Other than that the build looks really good! If you put more emphasis on the water than the thunder it wont look like zeus, and maybe put more emphasis and detail on the trident, since I would say thats a main part of the build since Poseidon closely relates to the trident.

I'll see if I can resize the trident to add some detailing. Any opinions on how you think it should detailed? I was thinking maybe a different block in the middle section/running down the blade parts or maybe outlining the trident with iron blocks.

again, im not sure. A cool idea though is to put water around the trident, like that the water is circling around the trident, or that the trident has just been pulled out of the sea so water drips down from it

I could do that, thanks for the input

This looks 10 times better than zeus, maybe do something with the eyes to make it look less flat

Yeah I was thinking his face was lacking. Ewout did me a huge favor and helped with the body to make it more organic because I suck at organic builds so that's probably why it looks good LOL
