thats the fist work in progress test render ive done with my newest toy im modeling :) sorry for the lack of details(some parts are still missing),im adding mucho more later :) and the most work do the texture :)

That is looking good. I don't remeber the details of the tank but I like what I see so far. I've been looking for free (or cheap) anime mecha. What are your plans for this figure? In any event, keep showing us these WIPs!

Very Nice! Great work on a very desirable item, imo. Was about to suggest "a little too bulbous on the legs" but then I checked the link above for reference. So much for MY memory. That scene was a real standout, the tank ultra-cool and you have captured it faithfully. All of that said, what do you think? Should the legs be more mechanical and less organic? This is gonna texture-up real good!

shirows designs are based on organic structures.... some of his mechs are just ripoffs of the nature :) the organic look is ok,as long mechanical parts fit in the armor parts...i try to make the legs in a realistic size,u know. there have to fit in hydraulics,edms,gyroscopic movement sensors,schock absorbers etc... and as motha nature teached us,round shapes absorbing much more kinetic energy than blocky stuff :)

This looks very good, I agree that the legs should be a little more 'mechanical' for want of a better picture, but with a mechanical texture on them in any event would do fine. I was always a little disappointed with the actual story of Ghost, but the design and artwork were terrific. This is gonna rock when it's finished.

OOOOOOOOOOH! WOW! This is better than all the toys in my sand box! It's great. Motoko sure took a beating in that scene of the move. :)

Let me know when you finish this. This is amazing. How about bringing it into Pro Pack and making it into a figure so you can animate it? Anthony

hmm :) yeah maybe... but i still learn hot to make somethin posable... and most times i mess something up :) and i dont want to know what kind of "pseudo" skelleton this dude need :) i think its better finishing him first...i add some more details...and then i skin him (ouch...i dont want to see the uvmap too :) and then i try to make a posable figure with it...my first realy workin :) (i hope..cause my first tests ending with a posable,but deforming somethin..) :)

Great crab, really outstanding work, Ive recently finished a posable crab. Anthony, if you have a camalot, hastings or tower anywhere close, you can pick up the dvd there-outstanding movie Ken
