This thread has been incredibly helpful and inspiring. Due to a couple folks reaching out and making the suggestion, I made a separate thread for updating progress on my solo attempts at 3D modeling/rigging/animating a bow and arrow here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1972169#post1972169
sorry for spamming guys but here is a small update changed some stuff on the shader/texture/lighting/sculpt. just trying to push the skin shader in marmo 2 to the best of my hability but in general it still needs a lot of work
FIRST time trying to create a dual use weapon. This is the first time i tried making a dual use weapon. The first use of it being a sword (Katana style) First pass without any shaping. Just trying to get main component in place. Any feed back would be wonderful.
At the moment I'm working of an WoW Iron Horde inspired vehicle.
I try to keep it low poly (liek and actual WoW Ingame model) and only use hand painted textures.
So far I finished the modeling and the textures for the rear wheels and the enigne. I'm planing to finish it till the end of this year.
Trying to sculpt a realistic "petite" girl with fake tits...
The green lines show the differences with the refs I used ( I put the photo ref on top of my screens, draw the line and then correct the sculpt in ZBrush until it's good enough ). It's Melanie Iglesias.
Just thought I'd quickly show some speed sculpts I've been doing for Lunch Crunch at work. It also allowed me to play around with the final release of Marmoset 2 a little. If you don't already have it, go get it, you'll be glad you did.

Here's a shot of the environment block out for you guys to check out OGRE Profile is going to be a simple side-scroller, but will eventually grow into a story-driven platformer/beat-em-up series in the future. Many of you guys might be wondering what O.G.R.E stands for: I basically want it to symbolize, "Inner brute force." Since the story for OGRE Profile is still in development, I also had another idea of making it represent a secret military experiment called, "The O.G.R.E Program" Bio-Mechanical Super Soldiers. Let us know if you guys have any thoughts!

Tried making a tree using the set up that it's done in Airborn.
Sadly Blender still can't seem to edit normals, but it seems to work fine with flat shading. Will probably be better in a game engine with a shader that I can adjust the alpha falloff with too.

Got some more tests with some oldies... damn it seams most of old speculars dont work properly with new shader model

The textures are quite rough, but oh well.
Updated the lighting a little bit. Main Threadski
Wile playing Skyrim I decided I wanted to smash my enemies with the hammer of THOR.
Here it is in Marmoset with the first draft of the textures.
Zbrush! Dog puns!

Made this in just a couple of hours, for the time i spent on it and the odd bake problems, it came out fairly well i think

Fightpunch, it scares me at how amazing an artist you are! My god. Just seriously mind blowing!
Obscura: That is looking really good, and a very good sense of scale.
