    The design is really cool and I think you did a fine job modeling it, and the texture work is good too, but the texture from a technical art standpoint, an overall colour design standpoint, seems very bland. It looks great, but something just seems to be missing about it. It just seems far too clean, especially with the bits of torn cloth on him suggesting some kind of damage or occurrence that would leave uh, more of a mark. The piece lacks the finishing polish that really makes a work like this shine; what you have is a fantastic base with which to finish your piece, but you just haven't gone that extra step yet. I'm sorry I can't be of more help than that, I know it's a pretty lacking criticism, but that's all I can really say about it.

    Whoa comments where did these come from :) Thanks gents.

    Snoop:
    Thanks man, I agree it is too clean, it was hard for me to figure out how to go about giving him dirt on the rocky bits, I tried a faint red bronze type of dirt on the black you can't see it too much but it is on the chest and inside of the boots area, where I can spot it best. I didn't want to add green "moss" type of material into this as you don't see that in meteorites and I had other ideas trying to mash them into each other but i ran out of time, I might add it in if enough people enjoy this. I just have a habit of posting to many updates too soon.

    Teriyaki :) sure I can here:(updated with current textures)

    about that last bit, I am silly sometimes, just to make people laugh, idk but your right, will tone it down.

    That is particles that i created btw.

    Yes the red material is the torn cape of superman, that is what it is supposed to be.
    It does need work i never worked with cloth and i tried to dirty it up I guess the red just over powers it. I didn't want it to look so faded though but i guess it looks too strong?

    Yea Helspont is a daemonite a being of light that can "become anyone it wants" so think mystique, and his power is the blue flame which he found, idk the whole story but here it is:

    And some images of the daemonites, last image:
    At the competition page

    When I used a rim light on this guy it seemed very sharp and odd when i made the turn around, and from the thread i gather there is some issue with lights and the turn tables.

    Sorry that it doesn't have character, I attempted to make a rocky/armor/shell to in-trap superman into him as if using superman as a vessel of strength and object to which would holdup the rocky pieces but instead helspont just altered parts of himself to mimic meteorites, just for the looks (I know not the most creative idea but you can write a better one for me :) ).

    I love the honesty man, trust me I am glad people are usually honest.

    Hope this gains a few more C & c Posts.

    Yeah the model is great! But the texture could use some variation.
