Here is a part of a new personal project I started yesterday. I sketched this "not to far in the future" side arm and then gave it a first pass at modeling.

Awesome design, although it looks like your smoothed mesh have some smoothing errors, you might need some more control edges?
getting closer to the feeling i want for the materials. black leather is being a bitch though... i want it blacker, but it's almost completely black on the diffuse already...
Try using some colors in your spec to bring out the texture more, you can make your diffuse all black but have some blues/purples in the spec.
when I take a screenshot it looks just how I want it but when its a AVI it looks to dark almost like deadspace, I tried adding more light, and making the ones I have brighter but it keeps turning out the same
Seven - I like it except for the shoulder pads. they feel really out of place being scratched metal/ Why are they scratched when the rest of his suit is fairly pristine. I think this would look better with the traditional blue shoulder pads. The metal just looks out of place.
WIP of an african american female. Please critique the features :] posting the rest of her head soon ;]
Awesome work TerraBite. I can't really offer any crits, but I suggest having a squiz at Mark Newmans stuff (if you have not already). It's freaking awesome and always a good place to look for some direction.

i missed leilei posting but suddely it's JATOTEN RASCOT OUT OF NOWHERE. YES, YES, YES. If all y'all haters thinking of cracking wise best realize he was posting on q2pmp/polycount before your balls dropped, children!
that's riding WAY too low in the water. the Mary Rose (tudor ship) sunk because it was too low in the water, and a gust of wind caused it to tilt enough to take on water through the gun ports.

This is an Ironclad though.
Its a great looking concept. Tiny tiny crit. I'd have staggered the cannon ports along the side rather than have them on top of each other. More like a galleon style ship. I'm no expert but I think they probably did this to maximise strength in the hull. Someone might be able to elaborate.
Currently working on the spec/normal map on this beatch. Hair is too thin and so on, but I'm focusing more on the overall feeling in the skin. Any tips? Maya high quality screen grab btw..

yeah, but look how high up the gun ports are in the picture you posted, then look at the gun ports in the model. also, the most successful ironclads (meaning, the ones that didn't sink) were the ones that were built the same way as the old wooden ships, they had iron hulls, and iron plates along the outside, but were largely the same.
HMS Warrior was britains first (worlds second, the french beat us to it), and was the most heavily armed and armoured ship in the world. during it's entire lifespan it never fired a gun in combat because nobody wanted to fight it lol.
don't get me wrong, i understand the design. but "you're doin' it wrong" fits here.
Thats alot of guns! I dont think they could possibly have that many and carry enought men ,powder and shot, but I suposed your not acctually going to build it so its fine ^^
Love the steampunk design, are you going to make it even more steampunky ?
Currently working on trying to turn this into a full character model.
Suggestions on getting his hair right would be lovely. I'm new to modeling hair in Maya (and after getting back from GDC I'm kinda hesitant to try to get into Mudbox until the new suite comes out...)
Been working on a modular building set, as I realised my 'tools' project was going to be really similar to Scott Homer's environment that he's working on. I'll carry it on when uni's over, I reckon!
This piece uses 2 1024 textures, one for the top half of the building (brick section) and one for the bottom half (shop fronts).
Next step is to make the building modular for UDK (splitting it into re-usable chunks), and texturing. Then I need to make individual props and the surrounding street for it too. This is so much fun!

lovely work all ,especially viv
comment and crits are welcome ^^^ thks

I'm not very good at designing things.

any ideas?
little update - almost finished
I working on this on/off for while.
I just love this. Detailed, yet so clean and easy on the eye. Well done.
