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.

Disappointments aside, it’s been beneficial for me to find which parts of my flow need refining and it’s been great to be part of the community once more and watch as over artist’s creations have developed. Good luck to everyone in the voting process!

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.

Congratulations Guilherme and everybody!
I think that I’m going to partecipate in this new challenge too :)!

P.S. Sorry Roberto, this isn’t important but I think there’s a mistake since I got 4 votes as “Best Diorama” :)…

     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! ;)
