I like them both personally, but I feel the second one at the bottom probably works better compositionally!

Thank you cgmythology for the imput

Getting Deeper into 3d and moving into more complex organic shape.


One of my vision for 2026 was to get better at armor design because i still enjoy costume design when i am not occupy with props

So being a warhammer 40k enjoyer the space marine armor seem pretty perfect and somewhat familiar to me

So the exercise goal is to understand Boolean limitation and getting mileage aswell as to have a fairly similar result to my reference(not include to keep a lil mystery)

So this is not original work i am taking reference from model online that i am kit bash into something that became a 3d model and then my goal is to reproduce the 3d model. Seem rather simple... not as straight forward as it might seem at least at my current 3D skill.(It one thing to reproduce something in 2d but it even hard to maintain proportion in 3d space

This is a lil sneak peek of what i got so far. Modelling time around 10-12hour (Lag and crash include)

Nice model! Reminds me of 'Mega Man', not sure if you're familiar with that series but it's a great design. Don't know much about modelling 3D so I can't really comment on anything beyond that, but I'm glad to see you tackling modelling. Looking forward to more progress and Happy new Year as well!

I do enjoy mega man aesthetic but the main reason they look similar is the fact my armor is still in progress and leaking some of it feature which make it look simplistic like those mega man suit that why i feel they have a hint of similarity. Doesn't help that both armor are often in blue(even if here there is no color at this stage).

I do have Gameboy nostalgia influence for example last years i did bomber men i also did the pokemon eevee.

Looking forward to the 40k sculpt, think that will make for a sick looking piece ^^

Sorry for the suspense. This is my first blender animation. Was curious how to up my presentation game and sometime i felt a static turn around was a bit to life less so i wanted to see if could make thing a little more life like (without loosing the stylization)

I took inspiration from a 40k animation serie called boltgun and hammer.

This my own space marine chapter: The Iron Hawk 

I tried uploading the MP4 i tried compressing the file format but this website doesnt support video that are not embedded .

So please excuse the size of the gif

The model is base on a collection of 3D model that been assemble into a something unique.

The version that doesnt look like the rest is the version i had to recreate the model from scratch is not the original 3d model it was a full remodeling effort. So there is some slight difference on the design and final look if you can spot them.
