This is really cool. I got one comment but you probly don't have time to do it. On some of the parts of the skin have it look like it's torn off since its a cybernic machine. Especially the face. Would be cool have a simaler look as the Terminator. It's great how it is now, but I think it would be a cool added affect on the character.

maybe some springs or shock absorption type things added to the hydraulics? they look pretty awesome but maybe still a little plain? i guess textures would eventually make up for those but still =). horse is gonna be running fast, it better have good shocks, hehe.

Looks great Pony... do you think you'll have time to do your character??? I think your concept sketch was great and would love to see it taken all the way.


That'll do donkey... that'll do...

Thanks all. I will have a patch of about 8 days, where I can work on the character. I have good ref for the face.. I gess I will just use more of a standered ref for the body for her. It will be quicker. I don't have anything for her body except whats on the movies.. and there not great.. so..

anybody with good skimpy ref pic's of liv Tayler (think thats her name) let me know please.

I would think just a generic female body would suffice.
