Armour

Just updating before I leave school. Darkened up the armour a smidge and stuck some shadows in places, and generally tried to make her look like she's walked through a fire :D The spine needs fixing a bit, but once that's done i think all i need is the skin and probably gonna stick some kind of control panel thing on her bracers, bit like Leela has.

And post number two :)

Listening to a bit of the cure while making a couple of renders to show off. It's wnedy time everybody (Y) Just a couple little things I'm showing. Really looking forward to getting the normals on the model now. They'll make such a huge difference. With any luck I can get the boots sorted before footie tomorrow, then it's mainly fiddling with flesh and shadows, and anything of input from my loyal followers ;)
Looks like a nice bit of rusting and some lazer burns. Just really want to get some normals on now to get a see at how nice that back will come away from the armour. And maybe some more scarring on the shoulder pads, seeing as they stand out a bit.

Occlusions :)

Crikey I'm being good this week. 2 posts in 2 days? :O Anyway. Just spent a trip to tescos and then some rendering my occlusion for the body and can't believe how much it's added to the texture. Astounding difference. Anyway, here's the body occlusion and the texture of the body with the occlusion overlayed. Soon as my head is done rendering I'll stick up a couple renders of how the body is looking witht he texture on (Y)

Texturing

Right been at the shop all day and got a couple updates.
First up is the house crest. See if you can figure out with death metal bands logo I've completely destroyed to get something modestly evil looking :)
Second we've got a patterned inlay I've made for the chest which I'm hoping when it's all normal'd up it should look spanky. Going to brush some off it off and add some battle scarring and burns from some lazers and such, some inlay on the pads too, but not started that. Thinking maybe to go with the house crest.
And last up, got what I'm currently calling OUCH. Yep, the back with the skin bolted into place. It's not turned out looking quite as nice in this pic which is disappointing, but it's quite spanky apart from some of the bolts being a bit stretched. Gonna fix the skin up a wee bit to make it look a bit more dead. Been working some bruising into the area immediately outside the bolts for the time being. Just got to blend the blue in so it looks a bit more skin like and muscled as making it an overlay and such isn't looking as good as the original concept plan, so may just fanny about with the one I have already and etch it onto my back, though will obviously need to slim it down a little :)

Wings you say?

THE WAITING IS OVER!!!! If anyone actually looks here regularly sorry I've not been keeping up with this but I've been a bit hectic lately /closes the mass effect 2 box and tries to push it out of sight. The good news though, they've been finished. Eerylia now has her wings. Hope you enjoy
