Barrel Bomb (Inspired by SoT)

This is my third (and final, promise) post of this barrel. There were some big changes I wanted to make to the last that I couldn't stop thinking about. I initially avoided looking at SoT barrels for reference so I didn't copy them, but in hindsight it makes sense to look to make them cohesive.
SECTION 2
This is the original "final" I wasn't satisfied with. I included a reflective component pointing out the parts I didn't like and planed to change.
SECTION 3
This is original sculpt inspired by a colonial water barrel I stumbled across. For the design, I was thinking about the angle it would be seen in-game, placing the skull and fuse in the player's line of sight for an igniting animation. I originally avoided looking at barrels from SoT in case I just copied them. Instead, I looked at other smaller props from the game. After comparing my sculpt to SoT barrels I can see I followed the proportions of the reference too closely with little stylisation in that regard.
