yay cole, good job man. dont worry about your polycoutns, 10k will easily encompass this guy.
my comments would be to physically some how show that the little guy is driving teh big guy, mechanics that force him to move or something. this gives a cool idea, it would have been crazy to see a big cyborg kangaroo all zombie borged out, with a little guy driving him from his pouch, but i digress. keep it up man

I think you should sculpt the folds of cloth on his legs a bit more before you go on though. Will be hard to make that work properly after you bake it.

I tripped and started missing personnel deadlines, and now there's a bit of a domino effect going on. I plan to keep going to the end in case there's an extension, but if there isn't there's no way on hell I`m finishing this in time. I also, dumped TONS of time into mental ray, trying to pull of something that looks halfway decent, then finally giving up and going with scan line so that probably didn't help much.
+Still have to do a weapon. got any ideas? I'm kind of wavering between a weird sniper rifle or a bazooka.
+Also let me know if you hate the hair- The idea is its supposed to look super butchered with a few long patches. Almost like he cut it with a pocket knife or something. It probably wont be that color in the final, but I do think having some crazy color might help draw the eye in.
Kzo: sry man,. I tried head 1 and it was too simple/tin can esque. The idea of a skull being painted on the big metal visor isn't out tho
Coldkodiak: I totally agree about the cloth. yet another reason I wont finish in time. I want to go back and sculpt of the straps and padding too.
Meshiah: I thought about the driving stuff, and decided I liked the idea of them both being separate entities, but working in conjunction a bit better. Like Boomer runs around and smashes stuff while joe picks off guys from afar.
damn it dude ... push like hell! If you don't finish on time i'm going to be one sad panda ... especially after the recent update. Everything is looking so amazing it would be a shame to miss the deadline. Go go go!!!!
Hey dude, this is really cool.
I'm sure you'll manage to finish it.
Didn't noticed that there were a giant guy
inside the big armour. I thought it would be
a full robot wich imitate the little guy's move like a puppet.
I have no idea for the weapon, but it will surely be a one
hand held weapon, no? Will you put some green reflects
in your specular map to make it closer to the previous screen?
I dig the green color you had on at first. But it's only a matter
of "like" "dislike"; it works well with the dark grey too.
Good luck. Your piece is unique and It would be sad if you don't finish it.
Go go go!
"bad ass" is a good expression to describe that one. I am looking forward to see how you will do with the low poly! good luck and i hope that you will be able to finish this one!
beautiful work man awesome stuff. oo for the little guy..flame thrower? or some huge machine gun mounted on the seat?. On the hair im quite contrary i believe to what u were expecting i think its awesome reminds me of mad max in the best of ways. please please finish this one off its a terrific piece.
As for a weapon, I think a sci-fi'd up version of an old hunting rifle would be good. This guy kinda reminds me of hunters in those box things on the back of elephants hunting large animals.
And to continue with that idea, some trophies of norms/demons hanging from the robot or carrycage would be nice.
hey thanks guys! unfortunatly I wont be finishing this year. I decided I`d rather take my time and have a solid portfolio piece as opposed to a rushed dom war entry. I did some scheduling and at my pace, and figured by the time I finish the bake I`ll have 1 day left to do the diff and spec. And the texture in my mind is one of the most important steps, so I`m throwing in the towel I will finish this, just not by the deadline.
also thanks for the crit conte- the serratus being in the wrong spot has been mentioned several times by various people so I`ll have to give it another go.
sorry to hear that konstruct, but either way it is a great piece and you should give it the time it deserves to get it polished and to the level you want. congrats on the great work thusfar
I like the sniper rifle idea more than the bazooka, seems more fitting. Sucks we don't get to see him sooner, but you're probably making the right choice to have a better looking piece in the end. Rendering is looking great, and hard surface details and well defined. I will also be a sad panda
It looks great Konstruct I can't wait to see it finished later on. I would definitely say a bazooka would be cool. Those little pods next to the little guy make perfect ammo holders, and then the little guy could like sit and load the as the big guy holds it waiting to fire. Talk about teamwork.
the part of the anatomy from the rips to beneth the shoulder are wrong thats not like that even is it is pushed by a backpack , i suggest you find some good books of anatomy
cheers!

seeing the little guy strapped in like that makes me think about how much fun it would be to ride in that seat.

I would go with the sniper rifle, with an extra big stylized scope and a polycount lens!
Better yet, do the bazooka, but put a scope on it!

lovely model.

thanks for the bump fellers!
Sad to hear you don't finish it. Even impossible with the 7 days extension?
Sob

You have to finish it man !!!
cheers!

totally agreed tho. I hit it in mud box for a few hours and dumped it in the file. one of those things that still bugs me.
