Damn you Leigh! :eek: 
The contestās just started and already the whole armour is nearly finished??
DO YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT SLEEPING? :surprised
I bet you donāt!
Anyway - great idea (even appropriate elvish name :applause: ) with the elvish wraith. I wonder what he looks like when all is finished.
Good luck 
wowā¦ I like it alot !
Cant wait to see the bodyā¦or can we see it? it is transparent, isnāt it? :applause:

w.o.w.
Leighā¦ ouuuuuā¦ I SEE IT WITH TEXTUREā¦ ou nooooā¦
somebody destroy ā¦ ā¦ it 
Leigh, how did you model the armor? Did you use spline, the thickener plug-in or something else? It looks really good, I think you keep getting better quickly.
Make sure the proportions are right before you keep going tho, looks a big long. If you notice an error proportion-wise later on it will be difficult to correct with all the detail.
I c you have a keen eye or detail,
This is looking great, canāt wait to c you fill the aromor with this wisp like body.
Although I think the proportions are right and the armor wil substain a wisp like body. ANd donāt know if it is your intention.
But I canāt get the feeling away that tells me that the contour of the body is a bit to vertical/ thin.
I would say that it is arround the hips were a bit more volume might give it a less thin lookā¦
Canāt put it better into wordsā¦
The middel one of the three armors in you last picture gives me the impresion I try to explainā¦
Edit: seems likePhil āOsirusā posted the smame at the same time
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, most appreciated
Phil āOsirusā - I just model from scratch, and then kinda wrap the polys over at the edges to form nice edges for the armour
I almost always tend to model poly by poly. I use mainly Extender and Bandsaw to model.
And yeah, there is a bit of an issue with the length. Iāve made the torso a little more squat now, but I want to try and maintain an Elf like statue to him - which is kinda tall.
Iguiniz.X. - thanks for the suggestions Yeah, I need to increase his hips, thanks for reminding me 
well thatās looking good, youāve already got the crits on the hieght to breadth thing so thatās not a lot i can add axcept that it would look cool with an old torn generals cape or something billowing out behind.
Thanks mdme_sadie, Iām trying to fix this now
Oh, and heās going to have a nice big billowing cloak soon
Okay, Iāve wteaked the plates around the hips so that they all angle out more, providing more movement for the Elf, as well as increasing his thickness a bit. I need to change the skirt part still though.
Wow, I cant believe I didnāt see this earlier!
My god, the work youāve done in such a short time is crazy! :eek:
Do you ever sleep?!?!
I agree with the crits about the proportions.
But other than that, a very promising start!
Keep it up,
-DivideByZero-
I like the elongated torso personally, it gives it a decidedly non-human look that I really enjoy. I think the low rise skirt piece of the armor makes the proportions look further off than they actually are. Looks cool though, I really like the Eastern feel to the armour
DivideByZero - thanks! Hehehe, actually this is only about 8 hours of modelling
And yeah, of course I sleep - itās just not bedtime yet!
Tommy Lee - thanks!
lowdown - I actually also like the torso elongated. Also, since itās a wraith, it might be cool to have an elongated look, because ghosts always seem to be too long - the proportions do indeed make it look less human. And yeah, it is the low cut of the skirt which creates the illusion that the torso is even more elongated than it is - those are his shins sticking out the bottom!
Thanks for the compliment!
Remi - thanks a lot!
And here is another update!
Well only 8 hours though? Now Iām sure I should quit with 3D, no chance to get THAT fast :shrug:
One word: wonderful!
Hey there leigh,
Although I havenāt entered yet (have to finish up some work), I am probably going to be doing a spirit creature to. I am a little bit worried about the ethereal aspect of a ghost. So what I am basically saying is, Iāll probably be asking you how you did yours when you get there:p
Canāt wait to see this one finished, itās shaping up really nicely (and only two days in:eek: )
keep:wip: :wip: :wip:
Dirk_P_Ho - breaks are for people who are tired! I have some energy left!! Thanks
ahrens - nah, see it as encouragement
Apt Pupil - Cool to hear that someone else is doing an ethereal character! And yeah, of course Iāll be sure to help you out in any way that I can
HellRender - itās a magical substance called coffee!!
And here is another update for tonight! (Well, actually itās morning now :p)
The great thing about modelling a head in a helmet is that you only have to model the face!!!
The actual body (arms, hands, legs and head) still need a lot of tweaking - at the moment, they are sort of generic limbs, which I will then tweak to suit my character
Oh, and in this render Iāve added some guides to show the limb sizes - as I mentioned earlier, that skirt kinda makes the body look an odd shape, so I added those guides to show where the actual body parts are
