I made some normal maps for the axis, they really make the game feel just a little cooler:

Are they good enough or should I tinker a little more with them?

Another image (the effect is more subtle on this one):

I think they look good the way they are :)

I figured there was no use in keeping these back, it's probably a better idea to have them out for testing ingame rather than two little screenshots.

And thanks ez for leading me around these forums. :)
