just getting the shape going.

Hey Dae

Love it!!!! Just love some of those challenges on
CG Talk/Networks, they really do show off some great talent out there. Keep this coming, looks promising.

Oh if you need to make stars in Photoshop:

Create File, fill with noise (mono chromatic) at 999 then go to Filter>Stylize>diffuse and hit darken> apply, then repeat darken till happy..... Then add a sprinkling of , oops sorry thats Delia Smith!!!

hey dae,

long time no see, looking good there mate, very halo combat evolved ;)

that drop ship?, is it your final shape? just a lead in to another question?

later mate - murph

Thanks Jango, I shall give that a try, there are some really talented people like Kurt and many others,:)

hey Murph yeah long time no see, I like the shape of the ship so for now it will stay, I didnt intend for the helmet to be like a Halo one.

been adding some detail to the helmet, and started the head,

Dae:)

It kinda looks to me like with the head in there the angle that the helmet is pointing would obstuct a lot of his vision. and it kinda looks like it would be uncomfortable. But it is a great model and I can't wait to see it done.

update
 

Thanks brently I didn't see that, I will see I can amend that without disrupting the overall shape

Here is his torso, once the body is done I will start on the armour.

Hey Dae.....Wow, looking really cool so far..I like the way it is coming out...Will be keeping an eye out for this one...Keep it up Dae. :) :)

thanks
 

Thanks very much guys and thanks for your support, it helps alot.:)

Thats sucks big time Kurt, I liked the theme you are working on, the old GOOD vs EVIL theme, cant realy get more iconic than that.

Dae:)

I'm impressed m8 - looking dam good - i couldn't get close to that if i wanted to - cant wait for the finished work...how much time have you spent on this so far, and how long have you been modelling for?

thanks Deathwish, I have spent pretty much every lunch hour since the 21st October modeling everything, cant really do much on the weekends as tend to work on those, anyway I started using Maya in January 2004 before that I used Lightwave (still do no and then) that started about July 25th, my first model can be found at SimplyLightwave:)
