update !!!

first look at the face at a very early stage ! also note that the "ears" are only there as reference to give an idea of scale and geometry.... the face and head will go thru several changes as i do all the time lol ...so enjoy this preleminary pic !!

Damn, you're really plowing right through this project!

Fri Jul 13, 2007 3:29 pm

well i,ve done it !!! this is one of thoses system that you dread to do .... but it works !!! to extend to the front the wheels i,ve done a retractable cover that goes out from the upper leg part and will make the front of the vehicle look better !!

Fri Jul 13, 2007 5:27 pm

retraction, very cool. Most impressed. :shock:

Wow. I'm impressed as well. That definitely got an "Aaaaaaaah!" out of me when I saw how it all worked. Really cool.

suprise !!

first look at a foward wheel that conceals itself entirely in the leg !!!

Sat Jul 14, 2007 12:10 am

But... it doesnt... spin..???

Oh, yeah. I was wondering how the piece would retract with that in, and how the hand would fit in the 'holster' in car mode. I didn't notice the half-wheel on the bench. Will there be other, hidden, wheels that do work?

it's a possibility .... but right now i needed wheels that would be the right size.... i tried smaller wheels but they dont look right so i had to compromise.... but it is possible to put smaller wheels under .....

the will be wheel caps so like i said before allot of changes are going to happen !

so here is the daily update lol ... the second wheelframe has been installed in the other leg.... and a view from the rear of the car as well....

Nice comparison shot - that is the perfect height for her.

Keep it up - looking forward!!

here are the latest pictures !! head is coming along nicely... still have work to do.... comments on the head ?

Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:23 pm

I think the helmet looks good, but I feel the face should come out a little more. It's feeling a little flat.

the face is still in it,s initial stage and the lips are getting worked on... as well as the facial geometry
here is the rendering that i use....

Can we get a side view of the head?

I think it looks flat to people because the whole head doesn't look, well, whole.

Can we get a side profile view of the head?
Maybe then we can re-evaluate.

Tramp wrote:Look inside issue #10 as well. It's on the last page of the story. There is a better pic of her head that isn't partially covered by Prime's fingers. Thw "wings" on the sides should sweep back a bit, not stick straight out to the sides, and the cheek armor also extends back more.

i dont care about page 10 and i dont care about the group view, what i,m based on is this image and nothing else so i,ll continue working in that direction as for pics of the side of the head i should have some tonight

I think the trouble with this image as your sole reference is more that it's hard to make out the angles of the helmet surfaces. But that's obviously your call.

Aside from that, yeah, the face could have more depth to match the source image. I think I also see why Tramp thought the legs could be longer. But otherwise, I think it looks great. It succeeds in looking like a female Transformer and being fairly obviously Elita-1 (although looks like it could pass for Firestar or whoever too). Nice.
