Hi Folks,
Would be super thrilled to get some critique on this viking chest I recently finished.
Look forward to any feedback!

The detail is terrific, although the proportions of the object surprised me … until I saw from your top view that yes, it is as you intended.
Now, the only thing I’d probably do here is to be sure that the object looks like it is made of boards. In other words, the sides and top are made up of parallel planes that are separately textured, and of course slightly different. I definitely like the “gash down the middle,” through the clasp area, which helps to make the wood look “old and roughly-used.” Likewise touches such as the various dents and texture-variations in the metal straps. Gives the look of a chest that has had a bit of a hard life.
The appliqué below the clasp on the front is very elegant.
