    Default Stephen Minkin alien bust


    Hi everyone,

    Did a 3d concept the other day and thought it's kindah neat. I'll be working on it some more this weekend and hopefully have some cool updates in another day or two.

    critiques welcome,

    -Stephen

                    Friday it is dude lol I plan to texture and animate this guy as well. The animation will be simple but effective. A robot arm comes down and takes the metal face guard off then the dude blinks and breaths, camera fades out. If I am feeling really ambitious I will see if I can add in some effects when the face plate comes off. Like have steam or smoke shoot out from the boarders of the face guard as it's being removed. still don't know what the music score is though

                    thanks for the kind feedback,

                    -Stephen

                      Thanks guys for the kind feedback Played around a bit more with the alien head last night. Still trying to lock down the overall concept. Added in some more roundness and some yellow industrial parts. I think the yellow metal parts maybe the hook for this model. Did a very crude animations of the the helm opening. I'm still not sold on it yet. Kindah feels rushed. My friend said to me “it looks like you’re just popping open the back trunk of your car” lol. Tonight I'll be testing and trying out other ways for the helmet to open.

                      Hahaha..It's Sunday..
                      Back Trunk of the Car
                      I liked the yellow industrial part but brightness of the yellow color is somehow deviating the user from the main character..
                      But i know you will be texturing and animating it later, so no problem with that
                      And to open the helmet, I would love to see it open and slide inside the helmet panel..Skwishhhh...keeeewww
                      Waiting for your next update..

                        played around with it some more tonight. Nothing major. Almost found all the basic forms. Currently doing paint overs in photoshop.
