I had hoped to get more of the area around it done but I’m happy with how the Stargate itself turned out so far. This is definitely a project I’ll have in mind to revisit to finish later.

For me, the Dark Portal win that Hardcore Modeling Challenge. Epic scale modeling with the use of so many details not even seen in the final composition. That is what I call a real challenger for an HMC.

P.S. Sorry Roberto, this isn’t important but I think there’s a mistake since I got 4 votes as “Best Diorama” :)…
Great Challenge and result. I’m glad to see that so many challengers actually finish the line.

COMMENTS & DESCRIPTION
Done almost in Blender and Mudbox, Photoshop knocking heavy in the Post Processing, I took around 10 days to make this in my spare time, you can see a complete breakdown on my W.I.P Thread ;)
I´ve never did a W.I.P thread of my works in a forum before, so this is likely the first time and also a new experience for me, i guess i would not have finished if not for the force you all gave me visiting my thread and keeping me motivated, so i can't thank you all enough for this, really a amazing experience, i wanted to do this piece for a long time, and i found here the needed fuel to complete, so thanks & good luck to you all, and keep extruding! ;)
