Sumea Modeller Challenge

Hello all, I just heard about this challenge and would like to have a go.Because of my late starting I wont be spending a great deal of time on the design stage and will be jumping straight into the modelling process.My design will be somewhat simple so don't expect anything amazing.Only having 3 or 4 days to complete a task puts me under pressure to finish on time, but as Yoda says, there is no try, there is only Do, or Do not.I will upload a composite in maybe 48 hours, as i am busy for the next 24.

You are all weak. [:p]

Just kiding, I try and work as if I was under a similar time frame, but before I am. That way I can get it done, but I dont have to worry.

I've not done any work and if I will be entering the comp I will be restarting. Should be no problem getting it all done by Sunday, but thats only if i can think of a good enough design in the first place.

Heheh: Glad to see I am not the only one feeling the pressure.The Beast is modelled from raptor references I have .The Rider is based on "Ideal Proportions" images.I pretty much forgot about armour when modelling but had felt this creature and rider would not wear a great deal anyway as I felt they would fight as light cavalry/spearman/archer.The Creatures great speed is its greatest asset.The creatures are trained to respond to voice commands, like sheep dogs.They can be directed vocally during a battle while the Archer fires. The creatures natural instinct to "Flock" is also used on the battle field, for mass attack, following the "Lead Spear".Some more modelling to do but I have the mapping planned inside my head, so all going well I should finish in time.Ermmmm........I had intended to upload some WIP pics with this post.. but dont seem to be able ? .Can i do that or do i need webspace ?

They need to be uploaded to the web, and linked in your post.

ok, thanks for that, ill upload em asap.I am happy with the models, but as you can imagine would like more time to refine. i would like to add light chest and leg armour, but thats another days work.

These are the WIP pics I wanted to upload and some updates.It was only towards the end of modelling that an armour design came to mind.As much as I would have liked to fit it in it would have meant some reworking, costing time.I changed the sword shape and will change arrow and bow shape when mapping the creature.The Warrior is mapped and requires an afternoon of painting which I am looking forward to.When I am finished mapping the creature I may do some copies of the warrior with various amounts of armour on.

Have to walk away now.I am happy with what i achieved in 5 days.5 weeks is too long for the amount of polygons involved i feel.I will finish off these characters and perhaps post at a later date.I have learned more than i achieved, and am happy with that.
