Dravix: those arms had to go. i had modeled those arms useing the available polys and edges from the torso and it caused me some problems. so today i built brand new arms as a completely independent model and grafted them into place.
DimitrisLiatsos: i’ll get you a back view soon.
Cactus: thanks onec again.
Termlimit: ive been playing with 3d for about four years using the web and barnes and noble as my guide. i came upon this site one day and my jaw dropped :drool: at the amount of raw talent that roams here. i thought i should stick around.

Looking great…still…hehe.
I’ve been wonderin’ as I’ve watched this progress…
When you model characters, is it normal (for you…hehe),
to start at the feet and work your way up?
I usually go the other way…
So is there like some universal inspiration that caused you to go the route you did, or is it one of those things that…oh…just felt good at the time so you went with it?
:buttrock:
Cant wait to see the head!
:applause:
Keep tearin’ it up!

i read once that a good way to ensure that you finish a character is to start with the less important areas and work “up” from there. the reasoning is, with characters, people tend to put the most care, and and time on the head to ensure that it captures the feel of the original concept, and once completed the rest of the character would get less attention and in some cases none at all. so i thought i would give this method a shot.

just did a few tweaks today, added her gloves. i’ll knock out the head in the next couple of days. then it will be time to rig her and the wings and build some scenery to place her on.

chritter: thanks for the crits. let em fly of ya got em. the only way to improve is to get honest opinions.

closing in on the end for the pilot model herself.
termlimit: she has short hair under her helm. her early trials of the wing rig ended in a painful lesson on why long hair and running motors should not be in close proximity.

ok, the pilot is pretty much done. i’ll do minor tweaking when i have time. my focus now is to incorporate the wings and pose her.
