Sumea Modeller Challenge

Well, decided I might as well take part.

(removed previous concept, it was a fairly generic heavy trooper if you haven't already seen it)

I assume your going for the heavy then? Concept looks good; my only crit is that with all that heavy armour, it does look a little weird having the head so exposed. Maybe turn that mouthpiece into a helmet? You could still leave the eyes open, I just think it?s a bit odd giving a soldier all that armour but not covering his melon.
Just a suggestion, anyway. Nice concept, and good luck with the challenge. [:)]

but it dosn't matter because it happens alot, like alot of the soilders in warhammer 40000.
but i do think it looks to generic.

interesting, colour variation is good and i can see your keeping consistent with browns and greens but id suggest watching how many different tones you do put in. it does make it look a little confusing when theres quite a lot of colours present

nice entry, the pistons coming out of the back a a really good design choice. the model is very good but some of the texturing can be quite confusing at times. great work though and good luck

yes, i also agree about the texture work, the main reason i didn't change it was that this is the first time i have used photoshop and I didn't have the time to go back through and change things. I also had my computer (a laptop) crashing at regular intervals from overloading with both photoshop and 3dsmax running, i think it crashed about 5 times in 30 mins at one stage, factor in re-boot time and there you have it.

(Thats why the money shot was late Souri, sorry)
