that is lookin really really good. you work amazingly fast and it all comes out so beautiful. nice progress:) 
Beast of Burden - Character & Contraption - Apt Pupil
incredible , you have to finish it ,go vas-y té capable ,stop sleeping and work all night long go apt go
Looks really great. I wish we could see more of the detail. It´s hard to say anything else this far away.
Maybe turn off that brazil rendering, I´ve never used MAX but I presume it is as time consuming as all GI renders.
Ok, well, the church is 98% done. Just have to make the connection piece that holds all the ropes on top and then I have to work on it’s surrounding floor area. As for that last two renders I showed you, the mistakes you saw there are corrected (the hole in the back of the top mantle piece[in the back view] and the railing that did not quite reach all the way to the bridge)
Oh, and I changed just a few things. I put the towers at a slant (they seemed awkward just hanging straight out) and I made the main window larger then the side windows. As for the details, I simplyfied them just a tad from my original sketch.
Well, I know one thing, the Ascendant will be finished on time. And as for the pheonix, well, we shall see. …
Mikael P. --> YOu want me to turn off the rendering . . . hmmmm, this is probably going to be the look I will go for for my final renderings. Butl, I guess I could render one without any effects, I’ll have one ready for tomorow:)
Gabe --> I am trying to stop sleeping, but my eyes won’t co-operate dammit 
ZrO-1 --> Hey, McDonalds is my trade mark, heheheheh.
Well, this is my last picture post for today, I will show you if you want, lots more tomorow, and yes, this time . . . close ups. If you want to see anything specifically though, don’t hesitate to ask 
Still nothing to crit, just letting you know I’m still watching your thread like a kid waiting for the pop-tart to come out of the toaster!
Just awesome. 
The last couple of renders have been a little washed out in terms of lighting… what’re you trying to hide? 
Ok, ok, ok darn it I edited my previous post and changed the picture. This one is as crisp as it gets hehehehehh:)

Tell me what think of this new style though? is it uhhmmm, better?
:shrug:
Oh my Apt, you 're surpasing yourself!!! This is a real oeuvre d’art!!! AWESOME
. I imagin whith this details the front scupture of the wingued maiden and it’ll be like visiting a museum or a real cathedral!!
silly me, the first time I saw this thread the only thing that was done were the concepts and I just thought “oh a realy nice looking concept for the 2d challange” asuming right away you were just going to add color to the concept image.
But you did me wrong! 
This is what I call overdoing the detail in every way :argh:
My favorite work in this challange without a doubt ![]()
Looks to me like you goto one big scanner and had a a few days in Venice…SWWEEEEEEEET modelling! Only crit…WHERES THE PHEONIX???
No I do not want you to turn off your rendering. I just thought it might be an idea, as your previous pictures has been in such low resolution. And you were complaining on the time it took.
This latest one though, looks really nice. Looking forward to the detail shoots.
The only suggestion that struck me when I studied your picture. Was to maybe add some gargoyles or other type of structure at the corners of the building. To collect the water flowing down. A normal drainpipe. But as it is a ship it might look strange.
asdfasfaslasdf aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, how did I miss this thread, FANTASTIC WORK! the best I have seen so far in this challenge :drool:
5 stars and my vote :bowdown: :bowdown:

:drool: :airguitar :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:
five stars is not enought for this work … greeeat !!!
Hey, wow, thanks guys for the encouragement. I will respond to your comments shortly. I know I promised to show “better renderings” but. . . forget about it
But I will show you some more shots.
I corrected a few issues since yesterday (missing holy sign on left window, railings were to low, top three church inclaves were to far back, etc.) I also added a bird on top of the church, and worked on the ships mid pole thingy. Today, I am going to start working on the front of the ship and I am going to save the middle part of the ship for last (adding cannons and engravings etc.)
I also left my house today to retrieve some feathers for preperation for the pheonix. Gosh, I hope I have the time.
So here is a full picture(the first of “five” tonight) of where I am so far.
You give us these teeny weeny renders. How are we supposed to be able to admire the work you´ve put into it? The minimum size you should be posting now on is 1280x1024.
You have a whole four days left, so you might be able to finish it with a tad less sleep than usual. Good Luck. (aint they beautiful those deadlines).
(Fredrik Hultqvist, that sounds swedish)
Shot 3 of 5. A bigger one and at slightly better resolution (Micheal P. :p)
Micheal P. Deadlines, no problem. Since I only started modeling last Tuesday, there is no doubt in my mind that I will finish
(except for the pheonix) But yup, my name is Swedish, unfortuantly, I never learned the language 
To those who are new here, uhhm, I just started modeling last tuesday, if you would like to know where this project is headed though, look at the biginning of this thread and you will know
