Great Empire of Gunzeticus

Wow, gunz - you've improved so much since last time I've seen you're drawings O.o

Now you go so much into details, it really makes your drawing stand up. Great job diud, keep impressing me !

[GunZet]

Haha yea, I'm a detailaholic, and I've been practicing a lot lately, I think it's paying off lol. Thanks bro.

Here's a new model I started. I wanted to practice once more, getting better at making low-poly models.
I started off using image planes once again in Max. Then I started to model.
The whole thing is made mostly by edge/poly modeling, which means I only used a plane and cloned edges and placed them around, welding and cutting.
The only part that used a prim was the foot, which was made up of a cube.

Low-Poly Model stats:
650 Polys
1280 Tris

That's 7000 lower tris than my last model attempt, so I think I did good.

Here's the model after I imported into ZB and began sculpting.

This is still for my challenge character. I decided to take the little mechanical companion I drew for the guy from the side and in a bit more detail. Also trying to throw in a bit of functionality.

Damn Gunz, you've leveled up heartily! I found Clemente's DA, it sucks major that we gotta lose suck a great talent and such a nice guy.

Kick-ass tank Gunz.
Looks like something from Metal Slug...

[GunZet]

@Sparky: Yea thanks. Working on this challenge has forced me to draw things I haven't in a looonng time...aka the robot and mechanical parts lol. It's refreshing. And it does suck about Clem, dude was just awesomesauce :C.

@Baron: Good ole Metal Slug, thnx bro.

Here's progress
WIP-4, just finished up the base lines this morning, and now there's only a little bit of cleanup, and coloring left.

Wow, I'm really impressed with this last piece. I love this kind of art. I don't really have any crits for it at the moment, except to say that I hope you attempt to color it with more than just values. Keep it up man. You'll be working in the concept art arena before you know it.

[GunZet]

Thanks Nisaren, I don't plan on doing value at all on this one, that'd KILL me!!
So I'm coloring it, I'm going to try and replicate the way Clem used to color his drawings.
And I'm so hoping I get into the field one day O.O.

[nisaren]

I'm not sure I know who Clem is... Do you have a link to his stuff or how he approaches coloring?? I'm always interested in learning new techniques.

You are going to value it and your gonna like it too! :P
Looks amazing, it's really like Clem's style
