Blueprints


Right, all done. Bit thinner on the back side, but looks alright, and not much i need to really do on there anyway as it's just flipped of what's on the front. Had a bit of a sod trying to figure out how the armour is supposed to go so that the wings have somewhere on the back to come out, but think it's been resolved to my liking. Just off to Bremnas to find some boxers and a toothbrush seeing as I've forgotten mine. Will start modelling tonight. Think I'll make it as modular as possible by cloning the shoulder pads, and making the body as one piece (Y)

Boots


Completely changed the idea for my boots from how it used to be. Good job I was cautious about finishing my blueprint. Taking some ideas from some mechs (yes ashley, MECHS), and some of what looks like tactical support armour or possibly engineer armour for some sort of heavy duty vehicles, which is also why I'm lookoing at mechs and mobile suits. Found an excellent picture of something, and think I'm going to make something along these lines, as it fits a bit more with the ceremonial armour I'm now making.
This is hopefully going to make it look like it has movable parts and can be more easily put on or taken off, possibly jettisoned in the need for escape, or moving through odd terrain, such as swimming. Should have finished blueprints up today (Y)

Face done

Finished making my head the other day. Just did a couple finishing touches today and whacked the texture on real quick, so here it is, with a texture and one of the wireframe.
Also been working on a look for how her back will look, as she's wrapped on the skin she's wearing but hopefully some will be torn at the back and show the demon beneath. Done on my own back for the time being.


Will sort out Nette's face this week with any luck and get it up this weekend. Going to carry on with the general design of her in the meantime and hope to get some more finalised concepts, and begin work properly on the body.

Eerylia

Just a quick run down of my character to generally give a feel for who she is and what brought her to beocming a bounty hunter.

Name: Eerylia Makhar
Place of Birth: Ninth planet of the Direth System (aka "The Hell System"), Siderian
Age: Around two thousand Earth years
Race: Diretian (aka "Demon")
Occupation: Bounty Hunter/Pirate

Eerylia is one of the younger members of the Makhar family of Siderian. Their species are known as demons throughout the rest of the known universe as they resemble mythological demons of the many different sentient races throughout the many galaxies. The planet Siderian spins through both ice cold and boiling hot seasons without any inbetween their species is resistant to extreme temperatures and have an armour like skin that is impervious to most forms of attack.
Just before Eerylia left her planet she was one of the commanders in the war for power in the Direth galaxy for which of the Diretian noble houses would take control of the rest of the planets and extinguish the class system to input some order and eliminate the corruption found in the governing bodies. When the war was lost, most of the major players were exiled from the system, including Eerylia, whose race were feared almost everywhere at the time. For a few hundred years she and some of the other exiles attacked other vessels around, and small outposts, raiding supplies, slaves and money to make a living, where most of the other exiles had lost their honour and killed themselves.
After these hundreds of years and gaining notoriety throughout some of the races, Eerylia as one of the more well known, being the only woman of her kind and a brutal murderer was hired by the Lialli Mining Federation to kill the head of a rival corporation, to gain the upper hand in the industrial race in their galaxy. To do this Eerylia wasn't able to use brute force in a smash and run tactic, as she was used to in the piracy. She moved to the planet and stole the identity of one of the rival's workers, by stealing her skin and wearing it to blend in as a human, before completing the contract by murdering the company owner.
After returning to recieve her money, the Lialli hired her as someone to help eliminate competition for their take over of shipping lanes and trade. Eerylia has been working as a bounty hunter for the Lialli for the last several hundred years and is known throughout some places for the galaxy as a legend from over a thousand years ago when she was still a pirate. She keeps a low profile now as a bounty hunter and rarely accepts contracts from outside the Lialli. She still harbours an ambition to reunite House Makhar and take back Siderian from the common people to take their rightful place as the head of Derith.

A general view of how she is for anyone to see, will get something written going more in depth and stick it up on the other blog at some point if anyone is interested (Y)

Character Design

Now that we've all finished up with the Spatial Awareness, started the character modelling aspect of the course. I'm making a woman, as I'd like to know how to model breats well ;D Will put up her basic bio later, but for now here's two of the concepts for her that I've done. Mainly taking influence from Durham Red (2000AD), Tank Girl and Morrigan (Darkstalkers), she's a demon bounty hunter, from a noble family on the ninth planet in a galaxy which is dubbed "The Hell system" by the majority of the galaxy as the inhabitants of the planets resemble demonic figures from most cultures. Her name is Eerylia and here she is. Need to get some more on her chest I think atm, but i'm happy with her lower half, and head gear. Here's a couple concepts (Y) And YES that is a cricket bat :D Will show them again when they're coloured, hopefully with the finished blueprints ready to model next week.
