idea is that in the future on some far away world with slightly lower gravity than on earth, people can get biomods to allow them to do all sorts of things from flying to breathing underwater naturally

in this case the main character is a extreme sports enthusiast and has had some wings installed and a boosted muscle system to provide the power to fly and soar after jumping off a cliff

the boosted muscles dont have enough power to get people airborn from the ground they have to jump

lets see whats to say - sub patch model obviouslydone the body and ahve started adding the mech bits

been thining about adding tubing etc i dont know i feel i should but then i feel its not really consistant with what i feel this equipment is designed for - perhps i jsut seen the borg from star trek too offen

but he needs ome more mecha parts =/ hes gonna get permenant night vision goggles but that doesn't really count =/ well we'll see early days yet might change my mind about teh whole thigns yet

rendered version with afew little bits added desided to add some pipes and tubes to the external mechaincal muscles

and i'm considering some sub dermal bumps to show internal tubing etc also gonna be adding sub dermal bumbs to corispond with the external muscles

You are by far the farthest along.

any inspiration from Vash the Stampede (Trigun) :)


but yeah ure a million times in front of everyone else

[KillMe]

my mian inspiration was my own desire to fly really - and i know that strapping some wings to your arms cant cut it so i thought boosted muscles would be the way to go

the insectiod look well tahts probally been influenced by something i've seen somewher but i couldn't tell you what =)

the wings it made sence too sine well features are fine for birds but i'm nto convinced that it could be made to work for a machine where as a grown film of skin or wing membrane what ever you want to call it over a metal framework seemed good for me

i've made afew changed to the story as well i've descided while he is still an extreme sports enthusiast he is also a thief and his chossen menas of entry is from the air silently gliding in then jumping off the roof and away to escape

this explains his night vision gear and a gun i', gonna give him though ti wont be intergrated it will jsut be a standard hand held fire arm of some futuristic veriaty

as for being ahead i doubt i still am =) and damn there are so many people entered now would be hard to check =) - feel i should probally quit now the competition is way more experianced than me but hey its abit of fun if nothing else =)

not not alot to say about this one - putting in mechanical elbows and his upper arms are detachable and boosted for strength

give him very basic gloves and wings and done some of the subdermal mucles imprints

gonna redo the legs the way i try and do legs to get the mcules to stand out well since hes getting trouser like thigsn was abit stupid really since its gonna make making them more difficult hence the redo to make it more suitable second time round

as you can see am neatlya voiding doing teh ehad for the moment lol =) hm wonder if i could put a mehcaical box there instead =) hehe ah i'll get around to it eventually i guess

descided to bite the bullet and begin work on the face

i'm using a techtique i learned from splinegod's character mdoeling series which i find to be a reall easy way to get a nice face ( well as nice as i can make one at any rate )

added the eyes and defined the brow ridge abit

apoligise if i'm posting to many shots - not exactly sure how much is needed but i suppose this way i can get feed back on my modeling technique for face maybe help those even worse than me ( cant be many of them though =) at least not ones entering this competition )

well lets see a good morning to all except of cource its afternoon - tut tut sleeping in big time heheh

anyway its sunny outside and i'm in here messing about not achieing much

but let see this mornigns work includes a uv maped face witha very bad texture applied doesn't help the photo was of my ugly mug and i jsut held the camera out in front of me ah ah well nevermind it shall do for now specially as you can barely see it anyway

the uv map itself needs work to as it is ROUGH - now added a some little detailing onto one of the artifical muscle implants i think it looks better mroe going on an all so the rest will get hsi treatment now

lets see i plucked one of his eyes out and replaced it a witha nice green glowing thing hehe not sure if hes gonna get the same treatment on the other side or not yet

descided the second set of wings is gonna be abit bigger than they are now too

guess that leave me working on finishing the head the legs lower arms and the the wing units and attachments ot his back

[mduclon]
