Honestly I can agree with that sentiment, the rest of the build looked better with the added details, but the hinges gave it a bit more of weight and presence. Now we have the handles problem from the sides on the back (It looks baron, and has some holes you need to fill with nothing). PD: If you already fixed the hinges being to loose by closing the whole thing shut, don't downgrade it by taking away details.

You make a good point about the hinges. I wasn't fond of the overbulk of the first hinges, but I agree that completely hiding the hinges makes it look a bit too barren. I may take another crack at it in the future to find a happy middle point :)

The bottom jaw and the handles actually make this less accurate to the official mimic artwork, which neither has handles on the side nor does it have a protruding 'wood' jaw. I do really appreciate that your design can fully close and lock into place.
@carsonvessar3763Ай бұрын
I think I prefer the older hinges tbh, they didn't look the best but they added more depth to the back of the mimic that making them flush kinda ruins and since you added more depth to the rest of the design it really stands out

The only thing about the old tongue is that it can hold a die so that it's just visible when the chest is closed. Personally I really like putting a d20 in there, though the mouth not closing properly with the tounge out bothered me a lot too

Original hinges are obviously superior design. They are better looking cosmetically opposed to the gap you created, (makes me wonder what bothered you about the open mouth) and have a more similar appearance to what you expect from fantasy chests. You call the original hinges “bulky” which wouldn’t really be an adequate criticism in context, since you went out of your way to bulk out nearly all your other additions to create depth or some other reason. It seems you simply moved all the errors you saw on the front and sides to the back for no reason and acted like you improved that section. Almost like you took a look at all four sides and decided each side needed to be changed regardless of whether the changes were improvements. I digress there was clearly more attention to detail, and consideration for function and form in the original hinge design as opposed to your edit.
