Heya everyone,
I atempted to do the 3 ladies of cowboy bebop Faye, Ed and Ein from anime master Shinichirō Watanabe.
Main goal was to capture the anime style, the show and a personal challenge to create my own concept to work of.
Inspiration image and quick concept I sketched:

[b]Comments and description[/b]:
This was my first serious project using Blender (v2.49), and my first modelling work after an almost year long hiatus. As it’s always the case in these great challenges, I learned a lot, and had a great time seeing the amazing skills of the other challengers, specially the organic modellers and sculptors.
When I decided to enter this challenge, being a fan of all things airplane/airship/spaceship, my options were narrowed to Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop and Porco Rosso.
I already did some Macross fanwork (as can be seen in my avatar), so that was out. Cowboy Bebop was also out after I couldnt find any good/consistent reference for Spike’s Swordfish.
So Porco Rosso it was; at first doing a diorama was only an option, but as work on the plane progressed, I started to ponder my options for the diorama.
That was a really hard choice to make, there’s so many great scenes and enviroments in the movie…
In the end, my inexperience in Blender made my decide to create a diorama depicting Porco’s plane inside the Piccolo workshop the night before he and Fio escape from the secret police.
I plan to finish this piece, adding textures and proper lighting, with so many different materials and objects, I think it would be a good learning tool.
Well, that's it, I wont bore you anylonger, big thanks to all who encouraged me and suggested ways to improve the scene.

Glad to hear everything is OK Roberto. Hope the accident was minor, and injury free.
Well, I guess I'll kick this thing off. Please note, I put buttons to see the hi res of the beauty renders, but all images can be seen at a higher resolution by right clicking and opening in new window. I know this is common knowledge to most but just wanted to note it. Thanks!

Well, this was a great challenge. I had been wanting to model Kamaji for years now and this challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to get me to actually do it. I had initially hoped to do the entire room and boiler and everything but quickly realized that, with work being busy, and the time frame being what it was, I wasn't gonna make it. So I decided to focus most of my energy into the character. I still managed to get to work on detailing what parts of the room I did manage to finish so overall I am pretty happy with the result.
Great challenge, there have been some really awesome models done here, all motivated by some incredible anime masters Thanks for hosting as always Roberto.
