Stan looks nice Predator just plain amazing.
Your texturing I’m not going to comment on.
Colours and renders are plain awesomeness.
Tudo muito legal.

Inspiring! This a great tribute to Stan and Krüeger.
I’m looking forward to the other entries, I know they will be just as great, if not better!
I know you can do it in time…
I’m rooting for you :wip: :bounce:

Jedi-Juice,
I go! I go! 
cbostjan, thank YO Chris!
headfirst,
I agree with that and not only that, I add another 3 crits to myself 
- fix the right crossed eye (kinda funny but maybe too visible…), 2) desaturate the skin tone and make it less orange, 3) model some hair to cover the connection between the hair and the frame of the glasses near his ear. I’ll do those fixes when I render the final piece on Sunday. Thanks!
Spin99,
Obrigado!
Thanks Alex, TimCallaway and StevenEgan!
You rock and roll.
So, today I thought I was going to do a lot but I couldn’t. First, I was feeling a little tired after hitting traffic for 3 hours in order to pickup my very first pinball machine ever! YAY! It’s a Williams’ Monster Bash, made in 1998. So, the baby is waiting for me inside my car. I’ll get some help tomorrow to bring it into my apartment so I can turn the neighbors lives into a living hell But for now it will remain turned off, till I finish the challenge…
I did some work on Pumpkinhead but nothing very special. I’m posing it and tweaking proportions a little more, before I get to the details. I did model the motorcycle chain to put in his hand but guess what? Maya crashed! Maya crashing? Yep, as always. I freaking hate it sometimes. So, tomorrow I’ll remodel it and will keep working on the other stuff. Lots left to fix but I need to show some progress:
Cheers,

JasonA, thanks a lot!
RGhencev, hey man! Thanks for stopping by. You’re kicking ass!
Intervain… :love:
aesis412,
mine too! Thanks
cocopalm,
Nice model and nice topology. Keep going on that and thanks!
TimCallaway,
Maya+MentalRay (FastSSS + Final Gather)
grassetti and alancamara,
thanks a lot guys. You both are doing great work. Really good to see so many Brazilians kicking ass
Keep up the great work and thanks for stopping by
Alan, sure thing man! Even though I think you’re doing some great renders, will be my pleasure to show my setup. It’s actually really simple. The fastSSS shader, for instance, has only the color map plugged on it. I have to do like this if I want a reasonable result in short amount of time.
I’ll try to update some stuff tonight. I have a lot of work at the studio and I’m getting home really tired this week. Yesterday I tried to work more on the challenge and just could not stay awake so I passed out on my chair. Today I HAVE to produce something.

Major update on Pumpkinhead. Still some stuff needed but getting pretty close to what I expected in such short amount of time. I’ll try to fix the most problems that I can until the deadline but I’m pretty sure any of the models will not be totally finished at the end, but finished enough, hopefully.
Tomorrow I’m back to the T-Rex.
Cheers,
-Kris

hot damn this is amazing. The renders just blow me away big time. Love the feel of the skin. I find the chain to clean but maybe thats the look you wanted. keep up the hard work.

Pumpkinhead looks fantastic! What you have here is already very good. I’d say call him finished for now (you can always go back to him after the challenge) and get to the others.
The only thing that I would change…and really it’s not very important to this challenge as it’s all about the modeling…is the material settings for the bike chain. I would turn down the reflection a bit as it’s giving a bit too hot of a reflection. Of course, a greasy one would be better but for this challenge there’s not enough time for that.
Good luck with the rest of the models! I’m loving this! This challenge is going to be a difficult one to judge for sure! :eek:

Fantastic work Kris!
As said. Call this one done, and get the rest of the models up to this level of completion.
There’s not much time left :wip:
Great work as usual!
