Getting somewhere …

Things are slowly coming together … although it took nearly a day to figure out what could be worked out… Which included shutting down my pc … going out for a long walk …
Then experimented with a few shapes … had to redo a lot … delete … and finally came down to this …

Trying to wrap up the top section …
once this is done … smaller areas will be targeted … and as mentioned before … details.

Slow progress … but need to get things right …
I’m quite satisfied with the form and highlights … however … not too happy with the overdose of blue
(top surface) :\ …
time for some color tweaks!

Things are going to get tough as i progress … but well worth it … i hope O_O
Refinements …

Lot of work pressure ; however … I’ve been experimenting a little during lunch breaks …
Started with the next section …

Back to 3dsmax for some rough modeling and light setup …
This will help me with the overall form and shading. Later on, extra objects will be added to break the smooth flow.

Busy week! but the gap helps resolve lot of issues … plus, I’m trying not to get stuck anywhere … so i move onto the next section for corrections, extra details etc…
