HMC 29: Sci-fi Icon - Old Han Solo - robo3687


#61

LMAO- he looks REALLY creapily perverted but cool as HELL! How can that be possibly to have both qualities at the same time?>


#62

Cool! amazing how that simple tilt of the head gives him such a different aspect…now is looking much more as Han than Harrison:).
The pose of the body is looking good though you could go for something less cliche…maybe an action pose of he doing something rather than possing for the camera. But if you decide to go with this pose is ok i think, because it has the look of the character, wich is key.

Keep the great work.


#63

Wow, that pose with the biped and the head looks really creepy, but I see what you are going for. That looks like it will work out really well! I can totally see him posing there as an old Han now. Awesome job!


#64

When you mentioned the Han and Greedo scene this idea popped up. Have him kicked back, feet up, sipping on something in one hand and the blaster cocked up in the other. Ring of dead dudes around him with the caption, “Han always shoots first.”

Of course if you want to finish in time you may want to ignore me. :smiley:


#65

wow.
you’ve improved ALOT since i last met you at previous HCMs.
Really great work so far.


#66

@CKPinson: yeah he does look a bit creepy at the moment but hopefully that’ll be sorted when he gets his clothes…which i started to work on tonight

@japetus: here’s hoping it comes out well

@JM-art: i considered an action pose but figured that at his age (i mean harrisons almost 70) he would be trying to avoid as much “action” as he could, so I’m going with the pose for now.

@wyattharris: yeah i would consider something like that, but no way do i have the time for it…lol…

@sapienz: thanks


here’s the start of the work on the clothes & accessories, I’m going to work on them a bit more tonight but will have to have a full week off on this challenge because i’ve got something else that needs to be done by the 19th…


#67

scratch that…my computer just blue screened in the middle of working on the clothes and now the file is corrupted…damn it…that’s like 3 days of work I have to do again…


#68

HOLY CRAP- That sux!!!- Try and pull that data off the drive Fileundelete that bad boy! I didn’t mean to insult your work- it is AWESOME, just the pose and the Biped was funny- Really hope you can get the same or close model again. GL, if you need any help let me know and I’ll try to help- pulling that data off as long as you stop and don’t mess (reformat…) with it should be ok.


#69

woot…

i don’t know why i didn’t think of it last night (probably was too pissed at losing my work) but i just remembered that max has that auto backup thing…

went searching and found a copy of the file from about 5 minutes before the BSOD…

so crisis averted…lol…


#70

Phew!! Autobackup is great…when it’s working :wink: Saves my butt on a regular basis!


#71

A little tip for atuobackups, I set my project directory to my Dropbox folder - That way if anything happens, I know I have a digital copy offsite just in case of PC explosion, theft, or just the unexplained. Though the free version is 4gb… there are ways to get an increased account without paying.

Cheers.

Great work btw.


#72

Nice- Congrats :slight_smile:


#73

I’m an IT veteran, this is a really good tip. Remembering to do a backup is always the Achilles heel.


#74

Yeah, I use 3 HDDs- 1 for local/boot, 1 for storage and 1 for backup. I’va actually only had the backup fail (twice to be exact), it was external (1tb WD elements USB powered). Not sure if I just had bad luck with external being thru USB or what but have since gone back to internal.


#75

base meshes away!

should be able to get to some more sculpting on the weekend…

and no he won’t be barefoot…lol…still yet to do the boots


#76

But if he were barefoot he could be all wise and zen like Old Jeff Bridges from Tron 2! :smiley:


#77

Whoa, mind bender there. Not sure my psyche can take that much change. :smiley:


#78

coming out really nice.
good going…


#79

i got up this morning and felt the need to take another look at the hair…here’s what i came up with…

it’s loosely based on his hair from Return of the Jedi


#80

worked on the belt some more too…
