oo its on now :D

ok heres the first punch :P
just started:

hehehe... cool, it kinda reminds me of Donald Duck!! :D

You gonna do a sketch?

yeh i got a sketch but me scanner wont do pencil ill try hav it up by tomoorow

Sweeet! Did you set your scanner to "greyscale" or did you have it set to "line art" (ie. monochrome)? Greyscale works HEAPS better on pencil.

hmm.. i am on!!! (making a robot beetle!!!,, btw,i am busy right now,, so will start working on it after sometime)

wait, forgot to mention,, its not exactly going to be a beetle,, its going to be a comination of bees and other small insects), simply to put, a robo insect

ok restarting heres the design now and how big it will be:

ok heres the first wip

first pic looks like barny.... the purple dinosoar.

the other one looks like a pokemon...

ok done some more work:

common tarq :D

nice work mate! Are you using Sub-d's?

yeh polys--> subds - im glad they put that in the new PLE :D
-
hopefully in the PLE for 5 they add fluids :P

I don't think that they will put fluids in PLE 5, but yes it is GREAT that Sub-d's are in 4.5 PLE!!!

anyway,, PLE??? Fluids?? LOL!!!!

here is a screenshot of the model i am working on now (stage 0.8/7), sheesh i am so busy now, i thought that i will be entirely free this month and now i am busy packing stuff up completely for going to india

Wow, thats looking great tariqrf! Keep up the great work.. same to you mumbojumbo.. your getting better every day :D.

... killer dragonfly?

Looks great!

nice start tarq :D

Cool thing tariqrf. Kinda strange. :cool:

Is it a robotic insect?

Its very cool ! nice detail on it..

yep, a killer dragonfly.. is it me or why am i doing things like this and others doin organic stuff?????????

Well, I mean, you know ... critters are organic.

However M´s guidelines do allow for robotic creatures, so keep on with your dragon-fly mate. ;)

done some work :

hehehe - I love his face :D ! You might need to work on the width of his forearms and lower legs... they seem to me to be a bit to skinny for the shape of his torso.

here is mine with dummy head and legs... GI_Joe

Hey, mumbo.. awesome stuff so far :D. Just yea the front of his body is a bit too "brickish".. you may want to make it go in more of a V shape for his body. And then you have the arms and legs, like jb said, they need more style (thicker and more like a forearm). One other thing.. you may want to add some more definition to his stomache area.. but your model is definately taking shape!

Tariqrf.. this is coming along great! This challenge does allow robotic critters.. as even though critters are supposively organic I consider robotic machines that are small "critters".. :D. As for your model.. its coming along great, just its quite repetative. Is this the general shape that the mesh is going to be? I think its a wonderful start and already looks great..just it could use some more tubes and maybe hydrolics under the wings and stuff :). Keep it up to both of ya!

yes, i had that in mind, a wing supporting hyrdaulic system, cables and wires all around it, etc etc.. just what could i say,, a spy fly???
i cant wait to work on the head

HAHA!! "Spy-Fly" that's great :D ! your render is excellent!

Heh heh, Spy-Fly, I like it. :p
Great initiative.

ok now it looks like a leopard i got bored :P
ill work on definition tomoroow
--
going good tarq :D

You´re texturing already!
Going fast arent´ya?
Excellent work Mumbo

Just for the fun of it, if you are using Poly´s start moving some vertexes around in the face, you might surprise yourself at how you´ll actually improve the quality of your work

Just informing you that textures are optional as of a number of PM's asking for this. Time is short, textures will help though. In round 2 textures are no longer optional, but required.

ok canned the textures and imrpoved the body shape :

keep up the good work mumbo !! I like the chest, and neak. maybe you could pull in the sides, besides the tummy.

i think it would look better if you smoothed his 6-pack out a bit.

HAH, love the toonshaded one mumbo! Great stuff! Also the definition is nice :D.

just did a test one... can only goforward after approval from ya all.. i donno which way to go :confused:
