Lord Rancid - Dominance War II

[0202742]

Very nice clean modeling and some great detail. I know that it is influenced by the warhammer model but i find it a bit hard to imagine how it would move well with all that heavy armour, as it looks quite restrictive. I bet you pull off the normal mapping really well. I love the model, and i can't wait to see it complete. Good going.

That's great news about the extension....except I'm on holiday in Ireland for that week!!! So it really hasn't helped me any
Still, I am gonna finish this guy for myself and I'll try and keep you guys up to date with it's progress....

Very Warhammer-ish, in a good way! Excellent work Lord Rancid and good luck with the textures, looking forward to seeing it all dressed up!

It's a bit weird, all these Warhammer references I'm getting. Not that I don't agree now that you've all mentionedit, it's just that the original inspiration for this piece came from a suit of armour I designed recently (for a personal project, blending medieval European armour and Japanese samurai armour) and a bad guy from a Power Rangers show...nowhere in my mind was there any thought of Warhammer stuff (or so I thought). I guess a childhood spent immersed in Warhammer 40K games and White Dwarf magazines has indelibly rubbed off on me....Weird, but kinda cool......

Solid work man, very nice modeling. My only concern is the use of the same exhausts in multiple places. TO me it stands out too much because you can tell it's the same ones.

If you have the time, I'd recommend giving them a bit of variations according to each body part.

Good point. I had intended to make the ones on the legs different from the one on the arms (in the concept they are shorter and stubbier) but I used the arm ones as placeholder and then kinda forgot about them as I focused on other parts. But now you've reminded me (and I'm inthe process of doing the pipes for the exhausts) I'll get right on the case. Many thanks....
