With Dons kind permission and with the encoragement of "go for it dawg", I bring you my WIP. The Head The Legs
whew, I bet don is stoked! Now to me this is what a good art forum is about. A sick idea is proposed and someone sees new value in it and "rolls" w/ it. Don's work translated into 3-d form is always amazing to me. Mostly because don or some other talented artist custom built the piece. (hasbro will come around one day and give him a whole series to design) This work is a hurricane and looks awesome. I believe this came out so fast because don's drawings are so well rendered that there's not a lot of guesswork involved in the translation to 3-d. This work makes me tingle and i can't wait to see more in this thread. Please don't give him the good ol' u.s.a. military camo scheme. so dull. let's see some fresh colors.
My thoughts exactly, every line on Dons work has helped me figure out how to build this. The concept kicked so much ass, I just had to give it a shot. Should have it blocked out in low detail by the end of the weekend.
Update: He's got arms, and an upper body . Still only blocking it out with a bit of detail, will come back to it all ans add the extra bits after I've done his waist...and while im working on that...talk amongst yourselves.
Must I say this again... That is how Transformers should be! Who ever said Optimus couldnt be a military grunt anyways? Kick@$$ Job there!
Awesome!!! This guy was bad-ass in 2d already, I can't imagine how good will look once you finish him.
Hot damn, that's coming along very nicely! Don's designs kick so much ass, and it's always impressive to see them brought to life like this. Excellend job, shedbandit!
Holy crap-on-a-stick! Excellent modelling, SB - your work and Don's design make an outstanding combination! Cannot wait to see this one finished! Rob
Cannot wait for the finished version...if that were a toy, I would SO FRIGGIN buy it...puts my 3D "skills" to shame!
