My brother (Exos) and myself have been working on various models for our new map dm_steamcastle for HL2DM. Its based off the Anime movie Steamboy. (Yes Anime, I hate it too, but this movie is actually very very good) We were both so inspired by its artistic designs and plot that we decided to make it into a map. THis requires all custom content to match the theme. Ive already posted the Steamball model with custom Gibs,(See it here)

We have many other models complete/in progress. I wont be showing them all since I want to keep most of the map a supurise until its finished.
Here is one I finished a couple days ago. Its 2 pipe models themed from the movie. (Ignore the map, just there to get the theme going for fun. Mapping wont begin until the models and materials are ready to go)
First off the element of the movie im trying to capture with the model:
And the actual model ingame:
MUCH MUCH more models to come. I might tweak the resolution of the pipe skin, and its specular reflection, but right now I like it, so it will stay.
