Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Ben Schoeffler

#21

Yay!! Thanks for the reply Mosconariz :slight_smile:
I think iā€™m going to redo the rocket to make it look a lot more technical, right now my organic modeling is Ok, but my mechanical skills are lacking. As for the hand, i plan on adding some knuckles to it, and finishing the thumb, if you can think of anyhting else i should do donā€™t hesitate to say something :slight_smile: Thanks again for the reply mosconariz!!! :applause:

I very much like the way the jetpack is connected to the backā€¦ I think that overlapping of flesh is whatā€™s really going to give this character his look. Nice concepts on the guns tooā€¦ Iā€™ll be following this one closely, looking very nice!

#24

Looks great! :applause: Keep on!

Glasko - Thanks for the comment on the flesh, I had this image in my head from the very beginning, hopefully the flesh will mold around it better, i just kinda plunked the jetpack on there today, so iā€™ll be sure to fit it tonight. My friend quinton also said to make it more technical, which i will be doing :slight_smile:

Mosconariz - Thanks man :slight_smile: Your challenge entry is looking great too :slight_smile: I just subcribed to it!

Ah man, i got sick this week and so i kind of took a break from my machineflesh challenge, but now iā€™m back on track. Iā€™m working on the legs, and after seeing a few peopleā€™s contest entries iā€™m totally going to rework the mechanical and make it actually look good :slight_smile: I could really use some critiques :slight_smile:

Anyway, iā€™ll update later today.

Thanks to everyone that is following this thread :slight_smile:

Well here is an update, I have just added the legs and i havenā€™t really messed with the wrinkles in the pants very much. I added a temporary belt and stuff, tomorrow i hope to finish the legs/feet, and then the day after that totally redo the mechanical shit so it looks fantastic. Please feel free to comment, any comment would be really appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Legs proportions arenā€™t right for my eye :surprised Keep on! :beer:

#32

Thanks for the comment :slight_smile: Iā€™ll fix those legs, they do look a bit odd :slight_smile: thanks again!!

Here are the legs/feet. The pants arenā€™t going to be symetrical like they are now, but right now they are just instances. Comments/critiques really wanted :slight_smile:

#37

Thanks for the reply del1!!! :slight_smile:

Iā€™ll keep working on it tonight :slight_smile: THanks again, i donā€™t seem to have too many repliesā€¦ :-/ So i appreciate every one :slight_smile:

Good progress! The pants seem to be coming along fine as well.

About the foot/shoe, I was thinking it should be shaped more like a foot (considering itā€™s probably a rather soft material, fitting on the foot like a sock more like a shoe) ::

A lame liquify in PS here just to indicate what I mean :smiley:

#39

Hey great idea James! Iā€™ll definitly tweak it to look more like a foot :slight_smile: Thanks!

Hmmā€¦ i need some more ideas guys. Right now, my guy seems a little blandā€¦ Like all he has is a jetpack on his back :-/ I need something more mechanical and stuff. I was thinking about having a robotic wolf, or maybe a huge mecha that he can be standing on. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!
