Metal Head (wip)

[mxhaunted]

Hi there,

This is my first post here… and I hope it’s a memorable one. :)

I did/doing this for a contest but it’s not fished yet and the contest is over… so my chances aren’t looking good. But that said, I still want to make it look nice and it’s not too late to make changes.

It's very simple and a bit clunky. My computer can only shift about 3 mill polies max.

Extremely cool piece. The bloody stripes are too cool and unfortunatly fitting .I'm adding this one to my permanent collection.

Thanks for the comments. :)

The background was done in Photoshop although I did try to do it originally in Zbrush. It turned out to be too slow going due to lining up masks and the logistics of putting it together… so I fell back to PS.

I hope to update a final version soon. Just sorting out the ripped paper.

If you like the blood, here’s an early non-zbrush image (http://www.deviantart.com/view/4848076/)I did some time ago. It’s in a similar vein. :)

Hi, me again. Think I've finished himnow... well... kind of.

Here's a side view of him (yes, you're right, it's my take on Rattlehead)

The side view shows a lot of nice detail. Which did you plan to use for the final composition?

[mxhaunted]

At this point it’s not really for anything in particular. Sooo, I suppose it’s just for people to look at. So either side of front view is OK. :)



I put it together with mostly the front view in mind so the side view isn’t as tight as I’d hoped. There are a few things I’d change if I had the time. but right now I need a break from it.
