I`m working on a still image of a mechanical skeleton, in a suit with glowing, smoking eyes.
I`ll be posting updates every so often-

http://sydemedia.com/grim_fandango.jpg

I`m super new to rendering, lighting (in maya) and thats where I need the most critiques-
But I`m also funky with modeling fabric,
so if you feel like explaining how I can improve on something
or just wanna tell me what irks you, I`d love to hear it.

Things to be modeled:
-jacket
-belt
-hand

Wow! I like it!

The only thing i can say so far is,
to smooth all a bit, especially the top of the head!

i´m looking forward to the next update!

ookay, so I finished the arms, tweaked some things here and there (still needs some tweaking), and I`m almost about to texture it. I don`t look forward to
that-:annoyed:

hes looks like a pug dog or something in this front view. maybe his nose is too small. overall this model is boring. its boring to look at and its boring me. maybe I should add some rediculious GIANT mechanical wing/jet pack thing, or maybe a talking parrot on his shoulder... but most likely not cause I`m too lazy, but if anyone has any thoughts on things to add I`d LOVE to hear it. I`m open for anything right now.

Oh and I need some ideas for a background.- anyone have any ideas?

Looks very interesting has alot of potential to be somthing, the only thing i could say that could be possibly wrong is the fact that his waist is so thick in proportion to his small head:hmm:

something I need to say is this is not in fact based on grim fandango,- but rather this:
http://sydemedia.com/gfref.jpg
I don`t know what it is, or where I got it but its been on my HD for years, so I decided I`d try and model it.
but I figured its is a skeleton in a suit, and so is manny,- so y not nickname this project after the game. but alas, I finding I can`t live up to the greatness that IS grim fandango- :D
