[Geta-Ve]

I love the redesign. It's not too zoidy, still captures Voltron's look. Good luck, great progress so far.

[theKid123]

here i have finish yellow lion... the first leg ...

http://www.klauds.com/photo/yellow_lion.jpg

[theKid123]

i have just apply colour to the voltron, is just a test colour ... won't be the final texture and also i have combine the leg to the body ... (just have to see how is looks) as for the yellow lion i have tweaked the canon on it's back.. want to make something more interesting then just a canon so i turn it into a spirl machine gun like http://www.klauds.com/photo/test-colour.jpg

[theKid123]

and here is the wire frame for yellow lion when it is in leg form

[theKid123]

[vshen]

That is looking promising. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[angel]

Your Voltron is looking cool, the only thing that kinda bothers me are the legs... they could be more tucked in, specially the hind legs. I like how they look in your sketch better. Looking forward to see the other lions :thumbsup:

[theKid123]

thank you guys :) i will keep it up... and the next lion i think i will goes down to the 3rd lion the Green lion...

and to reply to SNoWs ... i will check out the legs on the lions .. see if i can tucked it in more ...

[theKid123]

hey guys.. it's been quite a week for me ... but i was able finish up red lion here it is

http://www.klauds.com/photo/red_lions.jpg

[theKid123]

here the combine and colour ver of it ...

http://www.klauds.com/photo/voltron_withred.jpg

[razeverius]

cool!:buttrock: i keep lookin at some of my zoid toys wondering if they can combine :D

[WyattHarris]

Ah I see. When I first looked at the lion I was wondering how he would fit since it was so big. But then I see the huge shoulders and where it joins. Looks great, keep it up.

[theKid123]

i have finish the green lion also ..
and as i modeling the green lion and comparing to the red lion .. i figure that the red lion should be more powerful then the green lion .. so i switch up the side pad of the red lion and put it up on green

http://www.klauds.com/photo/wire1.jpg

[theKid123]

and there's one with no wire frame

http://www.klauds.com/photo/lamber1.jpg

[razeverius]

wow he looks bulked,macho style:surprised

[theKid123]

i have finish the face and the head .. here it is
and i found that robot face looks kinda plain .. so i add an eye shield on it to make it look more interesting

http://www.klauds.com/photo/face.jpg

[theKid123]

as i finish the head i combine it with the body ... and i took note from razeverius that he looks bulk so i sunk the arms down ... hopefully looks better from before... http://www.klauds.com/photo/nowing.jpg

[angel]

This is looking cool, nice design, I think the knees are too slim... I mean compared to the lower legs which are massive, the knees don't look like they can support that weight. I personally do not like the visor thing on the face... seems kinda redundant, I would instead texture/paint the design on the face.

[theKid123]

http://www.klauds.com/photo/pose2-2.jpg
i wonder how does this look??

[razeverius]

wow Voltron's modified to the modern era:buttrock: nice, his pose kinda reminds me of optimus prime :D

[WyattHarris]

i wonder how does this look??
You don't wonder, you know it looks good. :D Seriously, great job bringing your concept to life. The zoids were a perfect update for the Voltron lions.

Sooooo you gonna texture him? Plenty of time left.

[MarioGuillermo]

It looks amazing, great job!

[FICTIS]

Yeeeaaaahhh! :buttrock: That looks sick, it works very well. Extremely nice redesign!

[theKid123]

hey guys ... thanks for the comment ...
and yea i am going to texture it ... at the moment just dealing with the UV mapping that's all and this is what i got so far... more will come soon

[T0BER]

Looking forward to seeing him with his sword :D

[JM-art]

[waterlilly]

This is some great work for your first challenge! I can't wait to see your work on the later challenges as well.

Cheers!

[theKid123]

hey guys ... finish my model and i wasn't planning on modeling the sword, but couple of people and my friends were saying that the really need a sword to be voltron, so i decide to model the sword to .. but i don't really like my concept of the sword with this voltron so i decide to come up with another concept ... here it is ..
http://www.klauds.com/photo/sword1.jpg
i have totally change the sword ... it will be bigger cause i figure the size of my voltron and he needed a bigger to make him look more powerful

[theKid123]

here's the sword in 3D ...

[theKid123]

finally finish the model, texture and the pose ... just have to finish the renders and finalize the lighting ... and the renders post it up ... and that's it
http://www.klauds.com/photo/final1.jpg

[razeverius]

whoa cool buh it looks like the sword is too long. I dunno maybe it's just his pose that makes it look at way. go go go!:bounce:

[theKid123]
