Hey guys finally done with the output of my long lost work, actually this is a a bit old work of mine, but wasn't able to complete the final output somehow, but finally took some time to finish and wrap this one. So here are the final results.:)

And this model is not based on the original movie or game's concept it's actually based on the concept done by "Phil Saunders" in very earlier stages even before the movie came out, and some modifications of my own:poly121: you can check out the concept here : http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gal...image_id=39279

And the mounted Gun on the shoulder is fully transformable, I'll also post the animation soon.

    The model itself looks good, but the presentation needs to be rethought. The orange colored background and grunge effects are overkill and are detracting from your model and in all honesty make it difficult to read the textures properly.

    You could probably keep the grunge but either drop the orange out completely or replace it with a cooler color (saturated blue?) You might want to tone down the orange light you have on war machine as well. Same thing goes for the text in the background. I'd say either drop the opacity or loose it completely.

    Also wires would be great let us see how you put this bad boy together.
    Take care of the presentation and Im sure this puppy will start to sing like a $10 dollar hooker at Mardi Gras :)

    The model's nice however I'd say the textures are making him look a little concrete rather than metal.

    Seeing the texture maps would help point out the cause.

    I agree with most of the crits. The presentation does not help the piece at all. The metals seem very noisy too. In general, your metal materials just don't feel like metal. It could just be the noise, but I'd suggest playing with the spec/gloss maps as well as possible added a reflection mask/map to really help sell it.

    Good to see your work so far! I think that the first thing that I noticed was some of the proportions/features on the head/mask. I think that the thinner design of the concept might work better for you, currently the chin is much wider in your version, in fact the whole head might be wider. I realize this is you own interpretation of the design but I think that it might look more sleek with a more streamlined head as its a very distinctive design that draws the eye of the viewer.

    Yeah i get your point mine head is a bit bulkier and rounded compared to the concept , in my case i tried to put a smile on it's face inspired from The "JOKER", my all time favorite villain, and i guess that change is even not possible now otherwise i have to change my mapping and all the maps again :(

    Nice modelling but the texture is letting it down, is there a reason every single edge possible on him is scratched? It would never happen like that.. also ditch the metallic background it's making the render looking hella grainy.
