Just added the legs. Little guy's starting to look pretty damned fine (although if you look at him from the top he's still a bit sausage-like  )

The Javan Rhino did help a bit, by the way, but the thing is Wooly Rhinos are just more muscular than that, I believe. So, I've added a general shape, but I'm still not sure if it's quite right... (how about I post a picture next progress report and you help me decide?)

This is Mysterious_A, enjoying a Carnaval Wednesday. I have some stuff I need to get done today, but I've laid out what I need to finish in the rhino by Sunday, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it. After this I'll probably want to clear out some of the requests from the last few pages. We'll see.

Mod on.

I'll keep it in mind for next week, yes.

Sneak Peak (Very early WIP):




Should I make him fatter? Without the upper shot, I just don't know... (also, Havoc, would you prefer it if I modelled the mouth, or do you think it would be better as a texture?)

I'll just use common sense on it, I guess (maybe find a hippo shot and make it slimmer...)

Alright, so, today I started on the torso + head part of the rhino. On this one I've decided to do the modelling dimension by dimension, starting with the side, as shown in the reference shot.

This means that right now I have a pretty good looking rhino body, but only if you look at it from the side

Anyway, tomorrow I'll work on the next dimension for the body (it would really help if I could find a shot from the top of a rhino...).

Mod on.

Closing up early today.

Week 3 - Sunday (closing)

Week 4 - Monday (model picking):

Accepted: Wooly Rhino (prepare for disaster)

They are on both sides, yes, but I did not draw them (I actually copied the design right out of the second picture, editing it around to isolate the drawing and get rid of that bit of red lighting at the bottom of it. Then I just copied it and pasted it over the axe's metal texture. Easy peasy.).

Since the model itself on your submission was fairly simple, blitzking, I decided to give texturing it a try as well (my texturing skills are rather horrid, however, so be warned on that regard).

Anyway, here goes...

Week 3 - Saturday

2. Viking Dragon Axe

I'm surprised. There hasn't beem any feedback on the helmet so far.

Hopefully the axe will draw more attention (working on that now).

Well, I did hear back in medieval times people grew their own food. 

Anyway, the Italian M33, yes! A fine helmet for a glorious people!

This one went pretty smoothly. You didn't mention whether you wanted straps or not, but it seemed logical to me, so I added them in.

It's just a bit high poly, due to the emblem (a total of 500 or so, I think). Said emblem looks pretty awesome, though, so I'd say it was a fair trade.

Week 3 - Thursday (already?!)

1. Italian M33 Helmet





Cheers.

BRAVO. 

Seriously, this is the most awesome thing since cake.

Good luck with it.

Sorry, I was unclear.

I meant, do you want a completely new model? (as in, built from scratch, using none of the native models), or just an altered native one? (with a horn).

Question: wouldn't a unicorn be just a matter of adding a horn to one of the native horse models? Or are you looking for a new mesh entirely?

I'll consider one of the armors for the week after the rhino (my experience with armor is lacking at best, so it'll be good for me to pratice).

Tell you what, this week I'll just pick a couple of nice and simple models.

Next week, though, since I'll have my schedule wide open (thank you, carnaval), I'll load up on references, and tackle the rhino, see what I can do with it.

Sound good?

Week 3 - Tuesday (model picking)

Accepted:

Italian M33 helmet
Viking Dragon axe

If it exists in tridimensional space, it can be modelled.

Of the rest I know not.

Alright! Closing up the week!

To comment, the gladiator helm, smooth. The oriental armor.... quite disastrous, it was, because of my inability to work without clear reference. I did pick up a an extra request from those submitted to me, however, partly to make up for that, partly because of my great admiration for the work of the one who made the submission (the awesome leader of the Hiridia mod, Revan_Shan).

But, anyway, the models, yes? Onto the models.

Week 2 - Sunday (closing)

1. Gladiator Helm (tried to reduce poly count, might have missed something in the polishing)





2. Oriental Armor (pretty much just an edited native model, and looking nothing at all like the reference, which I suppose teaches me to never pick anything I can't get good references from ever again)




3. Falcata





Not the best batch, I'm afraid. Mixed results are, however, the way of the noob modeller. If I keep at it, I will improve on it, or so everything leads me to believe...

That is my belief and my hope.

And these are my models.

Week 2 - Sunday (closed!)

Week 3 - Monday (request submissions open!)

Mysterious_A signing off for a blissfull night of sleep (yayyyy me!),

Mod on.

Ahhhh.

So, I apologize for the lack of posting this week, but I must say this has been one of my most excruciatingly hellish ones to date. Not gonna get into many details, but most of the time I was either too tired, or, in the case of yesterday, too medicated to even consider posting

I'm back now, though, and hopefully next week will be more tranquil. The gladiator helm is finished, albeit it is rather low on details. The oriental armor I will try to do right now.

Wish me luck, I guess.

Hm. I have no idea whether those shadows are actually prejudicial or not, but I've always tried to eliminate them from my models (at first with a lot of trial and error, now with a bit more ease).

Anyway, I'm about 40% through the gladiator helm. More later (I hope).

Alright! Sorry for the delay in posting (I was enjoying a rather pleasant 15 hour nap, although I'm not sure 15 hour nap can still be called a nap).

Anyway, not much time right now, so to be short...

Gothic:

Thanks for the advice. I'm a really sucky texturer, so that synergy that comes from knowing both I just don't have. Will try to work on that.

Copywright:

Awesome falcata. If you weren't leaving, I'd be all over a team-up

Aaand to start off the week, here are the people's my choices.

Week 2 - Tuesday (request picking)

Accepted:

Gladiator Helmet (requested through pm)
Oriental Uniform/Robes/Armor

Mysterious_A signing off.

Mod on.

So, today has been a busy day. And I haven't been able to dedicate as much of it as I'd like to modelling. Because of that, the matchlock is not yet at a state where there's anything much to show for it.

As I do not feel the inclination to just rush it, I will instead wrap up the first week, and consider it a project simultaneous to whatever I pick next week.

But...anyway. This has been week 1, and it has been a lot of fun. I wasn't able to accomplish as much in the time given as I expected, but I did accomplish most of it. Closing this week's work up, there's only one thing left to do...

And that's the sharing.
