Speeder
 

Hey guys

Thought I'd keep this out of the wip section as I was spending more time looking at posts than getting on with stuff. This design has been in my head for a few years. Originally did it in Strata Studio when I had a mac G3. Had it published in computer arts too!! This is for the girl character. I still might tweak the texture a bit as its still too clean. Hope you like it.

Jango

pretty wicked :-D

Nice job! I'd like to see a little more dirt, especially around the engines. You've got some, but I think it'd be a lot more and make it almost like a blast mark, if you get my meaning. :tup:

Top quality as ever from yourself!!! Nice model and textures, yeah def make it grungier.

You never fancied working in a game environment? cause that would fit right into the next star wars game :)

The texture is awesome! I like it!

Hey Cb8rwh

Howz it going? Hey thanks, I have actually looked at games but cos you have to go thru agencies here in England they keep saying to me, 'its not what we're looking for'. Also my models get converted to hi res meshes which isn't ideal for gaming really anyway. But if anyone one knows of somebody.......

I'm actually looking to the States to get a job, cos to me thats where its all at. My position as a Lead Character Modeller/TD hasn't come up yet at ILM, LOL.....

Thanks to Mike and the other guys too for your kind words too, definately more dirt!!!

WOW! Thats freking sweet! You are having trouble finding a job with those skills???

Well I have a great job using Maya at the moment, but its not THE job if you know what I mean.

_J

Well dont worry, your dream job is out there somewere and when you see it GRAB IT and DONT LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oops sorry got carried away.... :Paranoid:

NICE WORK!!! Great work Jango, looks really cool, I like it alot. Kinda reminds me of a pod racer. :)

Hey thanks Mainline

It was inspired by an early world war 2 jet plane, with the wings cut off, but if you turn it backto front it actually looks like Sebulbas pod racer cockpit too, all in all 2 for the price of one!!!

Forgot. Heres some of the sketches I did over a year ago for the stuff I posted recently. I have a whole universe being built here in my studio. Theres loads more but I'll keep those for my web site thats being done by a friend as we speak.

Enjoy

Jango

cool! paste the link when it's done :D
did you draw these yourself ?

btw...awesome ship!!! :)

Hey Ransick

Yeah I drew them myself over a year ago (like it says above)
Thanks. I will post link when ready


_J

Cool sketches, very talanted.

Cheers RC

Heres an update for the textures plus a wire for you mesh fiends, onto my next character now.


_J

Texture is looking much better now :)

Cheers RC

_J

man you can draw!!! as I have told many people I draw like an artistically challenged 10 year old :(

Looking forward to see more of your creations matey!!

Cheers Dude!!

yeah you will see more definately


_J

Very nice and great sketches. You work the same way I do. I am sure you probably have thirty iterations of this thing laying around that you doodle inbetween working on things. You hear people complain at school before the model something but unless you know what you are going to build you never get a really clean model.

Hey Rick

Yeah absolutely, I dont understand people who just dont pre plan stuff whether its a quick few sketches or a good drawing, every piece of reference you can get will speed up the process no end, this speeder had aircraft reference, you know engines etc, it helps me rattle this stuff out hence the results so quick!!

Cheers again Rick

_J

Your've done it again Jango. Great work man!

Peltra

Cheers Man!!!

Jango

nice work :) I like the design :)

Could we possibly see a character in the cockpit? That would really make my day :D

Hey Cmon dude let me finish the models before I get on with the rigging and posing, 6 characters to go, then environments, background lo res figures and a few other vehicles inluding a real cool speeder bike, it will be worth the wait so please be patient. The current character should be finished by the middle of next week, time permitting, then on to the next, so I'm churning them out asap cos I want to get going with it all.

Jango

arhhh get on with it,

next you be telling us all you sleep- :D



do you need someone to carry your bags to the 'States? LOL

--M--

oh yeah gr8 wrk

Hey Murph

how did you guess, I dont sleep??

LOL

_J

lol, very cool jango, when you get this whole movie thing done are you going to have it on line free?

Hi Guv

Its not a movie, its a graphic novel. So I wont be able to hide the deformations in the animation, it will all be on show. My web site is currently being set up to show it in progress. I'll probably do a dvd with extras to accompany the book.

Jango

dun dun dun d dun waaaa wa waaaa wa waaa whaaa -(terminator theme tune) :D

HAHAHAHA Cool!!!
_J

nice tetxures

i like the textures

jango your work never ceases to amaze me. really awesome job, cant wait till im that good :p

Hey thanks EK
Appreciate that, it takes time to learn stuff properly, I'm learning new stuff every day too, be patient and stick with it, you'll get there and hopefully so will I

_J

Cool work, Jango. Hope I can reach your level one day:)

Hey Frenzy

Thanks. I didn't think these two posts were still going or being looked at.

As being this good, thanks again, but it takes time, blood, sweat and lots of trial and error + patience.

_J
