Improving some low-quality original objects?

@Y:
Thanks. I had seen all those, but was looking for the best straight replacements for the original gargoyles.

are particularly nice ones for new gargoyles, but not replacements. I was thinking about making more gargoyle objects when I get bored with keeper schemas.

I thought this one might be next:

@RT: Ill try a little moss on top and see what it looks like.

I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this...

NV: I always wondered what those chair backs were. Thanks to RSoul & you, I now know. Do you think that they were meant to be tapestry backs or carved wood?

Hey, I never realised what it was meant to be until RS posted those horse reliefs. I can still only barely make out the horse in the original.
I always thought the original looked a bit like it was made of stone, though the material tags clearly oppose that idea.

I'd say it's wood, possibly wrapped in something paper-like or plastered, and painted white and gold.

haha, what a difference! The original is almost too hard to make out.

You might need to view this against a dark background:

Wood textures are from David Gurrea's website. The B logos were taken from Thief's resources and the cushion was stolen from the internet.

That's most excellent! Definitely close to the original.

R Soul, please, may I have the permission to use the new model with different textures? I already did it, with the original, but the texture mapping was just horrible....:erm:
Of course I will give you credits.
