4hrs.  1 for the face :(

I’ll turn her into the ornamental part of an entryway I’m going to do.

sketches – 2d – fast – ugh

Why do I have to try tone every time I doodle on my computer.  An internet full of reference, so I could bang out 20 line heads easily, and I wind up playing with poor tone stuff.  Bah!

sketches – ZB – seven – step1

This one is going to take two steps, but so far fun:

Sketch – ZB – head – six

ugh.

sketches – ZB – head five – minor edits

Cheek bothered me, and there was a stroke on the traps that was annoyingly visible:

sketch – ZB – Head – Three Edit

Magdalena pointed out that the neck on this was very masculine, simple fix and a ‘do’h’ moment so:

m32 – Final for the moment

Irritating week. Heat wave, a hard drive acting odd, and 1k in goods and services from my optometrist and dentist — after I got out of the fetal ball I took a stab at wrapping this up.

I have taken some liberties in the textures, making a few bolts that should be matte black steel, but stayed somewhat true to the original. A friend, with a lot more 2d acumen, is doing an alternate skin and it’s heavily worn and turning out quite well.

I am looking for my textures to not detract from the model, and I’m still experimenting with them. The spec map is really interesting to play with — the mottled flash of light on the scope, and the streaky highlight on the barrel, is what I was hoping for, but I’m still experimenting with the matte paint.

I have a spin animation, UE screengrabs, and the maps on this page.

Done for now, just getting the SSes organized.  Putting up the spin here to get crits.
