Surprise challenge coming up in one week..

#56

I wish we could do vehicles…there are some really iconic ones as everyone knows. I seem to enjoy more mechanical modeling. You could just outlaw Star Wars/Trek and that would be more of a challenge than otherwise! :wink:

#57

You just want to do a lightcycle.
But I’m right there with ya. :smiley:

#58

would Frank from Men In Black be acceptable? :slight_smile:

#59

some titles that come to mind:

Battlestar Galactica

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Firefly

Red Dwarf

Dune

#60

What about various Transformers, Gundam/mecha?

I suppose Gundam would be either a character like Amuro Ray or Char Aznable, or the actual mobile suit like Rick Dias or Hyaku Skiki.

I suppose Transformers could include any character from any era.

Others I could think of are from Predator and Terminator.

#61

i was wondering about this kind of thing as well…it could provide some fun options…like the Leo DiCaprio Anakin casting that never was…or Kurt Russell as Han Solo…

#62

I want to avoid Transformers, because it will be a future topic

Ok how about a category called:
RECAST THAT ROLE

the reason I dont want to do this yet is that it is incredibly broad. Trust me, we will do this one.

#63

so has this challenged started.

I saw there was the post of the sci fi icons.

I was thinking about doing 2 or 3 weapons from district 9 depending on time

#64

I would start gathering reference.

The official soft launch is tonight.

#65

I’m thinking of doing Johnny-5… or at least he’d be an interesting mechanical “hero” character.

#66

And quite ambitious, good luck.

I’m leaning toward either Dr. Who (Tom Baker) or Chani, Mau dib’s wife. Unless no one else picks Mau dib, then I’m going with the Kwisatz himself.

#67

I have settled on Fal’shia the Tau hero from DOW.:thumbsup:

#68

Question: Do we need to stay completely true to the original or are we allowed to take a few creative liberties.

Example I am doing weapons from district 9, but since there are several done already by other artist are we allowed to just keep it in the same style and universe. Or keep true to the original.

#69

#71

Oh Dino-Riders! That would be cool. I still have all my toys from when I was 6. In fact, the Brontosaurus (without the armor) is gracing the top of a bookshelf.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Wing Commander and EXO Squad franchises. Nuts, there are too many choices. It’s still a shame about Transformers, though I suppose Roberto might be thinking of doing that after the Dark of the Moon is out.

#72

yesss Ultraman and Ultra Seven :bowdown:

#73
