A little late starting, and hope that I can finish on time.

Atlas is the bearer of the heavens in Greek Mythology.

My concept is a steampunk clock design, using copper and brass.

Glad I got in on this one.

I did a quick reference sketch of atlas. Will start modeling today.

Completed a simple ik/fk rig and posed character. Started working on the globe. Still a long way to go.

Completed the pedestal base and clock case. Will start working on the clock mechanics today.

Merry Christmas to all!

Finished modeling and texturing the clock face and mechanisms. Will start on the pedestal details today.

Really beautiful clock - the details makes it really steampunked.
Great work so far, especially considering your late start - good luck!

Took a little detour to work on the materials for the robot. (Gave me a chance to think up some ideas for the pedestal details)

I finished modeling the pedestal details and did a quick occlusion pass to check the scene out.

Still working on the textures and lighting.

Happy New Year to all!

Started working on the camera angle and lighting. Still have work to do on the materials (especially the back wall)

[mrpeace]

Remarkable so far. But I suggest on working on textures. background and lightning bit More. The background specially!

Did some more work on the textures, materials and lighting. It looks pretty much how I invisioned it.

Finalized scene, lighting and textures. Will start final render today - hopefully, so that I can spend the next few days putting it together.

I designed a clock featuring Atlas, who in Greek Mythology bears the weight of the world on his shoulders.

It was a fun project to work on and my final image came pretty close to my original concept, so I am pleased.

I started late and was determined to "keep it simple".
