Leg spikes could use some gold treatment like those on the arms. But not crit, finish this work, and don’t waste your effort. Good luck.

Looking good. I’m a little worried about he heels though. It’s a neat concept but in this situation it looks a little fragile compared to the chunkiness and stregth of the rest of the armour and it kind of looks like those loops could break easily:) In the paintover the angle actually makes her look like she’s standing on tiptoes and has no heels at all.
Nice colours, makes a change from all the black metal styles. I wouldn’t mind seeing some contrast in the colour scheme though, so it doesn’t look quite as washed out. Some darker areas picking out the details or curves would be nice.

I like the armor style. The breast plates are a bit chunky for the rest. I think the shape of them is fine, but I’d make them a little skinnier, maybe it’s just the sketch. Those heels, they seem to be an issue. What about throwing some translucent platform heels in? Keep the loops or whatever tiny metal support, but make it solid up to the heel with a translucent glass heel? That way you can keep the gesture of the foot, without total emptiness beneath her heels.

Well, the heels, years ago I decided to design these heels thad had a two horizontal struts instead of one vertical one, my Physics teacher said it would be better for the wearer, and my metalwork teacher said that if the connected end of the join was reinforced it would make a kind of spring base, better for running and jumping… A couple of years later, I found out these things were alreads created by fashion designers… Im gonna keep the hoop, Ill make it thicker and paint some reinforcement under the boot. The arm Spikes (feathers) should be white, was trying out it with metal, I just forgot to erase the paint over. Not sure what you mean ColdKodiak, by the chest palte, are the breastwings too thick?

Small update. Still got about 3 hrs tweaking left on the uvs, the Wooohoo, its mudbox and pshop/bodypaint… Im going to add the embers, scorch marks and heated metal along her spine, with some cracks in the gauntlets, showing the inner fire. And lastly the fire sword, I decided to take it right back to the original weapon idea, so the sword comes from her inner flame, out of an opening on the gauntlet.

Hey robert, I agree with you about sadism of clients! Anyway your UV check seem to be ok. I’m sure that your final piece will be great!

Dunno if Im gonna finish on time, Ill be done with the sculpting in about 5 hrs time, then its getting the normal to work… Anyone got any Idea what time the closing date is in GMT=0

Nah, thats it, I dont have the time to finish it to the level I need to, Id have to re uv it, then re sculpt it. Texture it and then make the weapon, in 8 hrs, thats impossible… Plus I have to see an emergency dentist, which is really why Im pulling out… Fate is a funny thing.
Anyway, good luck to the rest of you, specialy Anole, Adam Lane, Nikudy, Tsubo and Daemon32 who I think have a real good chance of winning somthing. Thanks for all the crits and support…

Oh yeah - “Got a dentist appointment” - we’ve all heard that chestnut many times before!:applause:
Nah, seriously, to have even got this far and to this very high standard, you have done very well indeed. Should be proud!

Sorry to hear that - both about pulling out of the contest and whatever the dentist is going to pull out of your mouth
