High Poly Vehicle - Raul
Read the rules, hope this qualifies. I was trying to do a mech and my concepting skills suck! So after i admitted defeat a buddy from work, Elliot Lilly ( our concept artist ) was kind enough to give me a hand. He came up with this incredibly crazy looking mech!
So i started this morning, from scratch to model this guy. So far is going alright, just blocking out the bigger masses getting things to tie in together. Hope on getting into some serious shit with it later on today after im done blocking it out. Hope to post every night from tonight until the contest ends.
Also, ill come clean right now, i was doing this mech for 3dtotal, but i never got far into modeling because i just couldnt get the design right. After elliot's awesome concept, this thing did a 360. So its basicly all new. If someone has a problem with that, ill be more than glad to exit the contest. Im not here to win, just to compete, and show some cool art! 
hi there awesome concept reminds me of mechwarrior and a bit metal gear rex. Blockout seems ok, can't wait to c more. Good luck
Raul my man!! Glad you're participating... bad news is that we can all go home now! 
Good luck man! 
Good to see you participating but yeah I think I'll just give up now! I have seen your stuff on Polycount it is amazing!
The concept is awesome I love the cloth tent/shelter area up top!
Good luck man :)
Nice blockout! Cant wait to see some HP work 
Thanx guys for the kind comments!
Here is a quick update. Tonight i only worked on the bottom gun, there are some things i dont like about it that i may be going back to tweak. Also made a bigger and larger block out of the other parts in the mech.
I kinda feel like a little boy again, playing with gi joes. hehe..i got some people in there to get the scale of things right.
Oh yeah, very clean modeling! Keep up man.
lookin good! its nice to see u competing. I really like the curves. Very RAGEY. lol
awesome start, this is going to be amazing!
roosterMap - gotta represent! lol
Im gonna have to coordinate my time better to get this done..lol. Here a 1st pass at the legs.
Nice man, I like the round soft model, mixed with the hard surface modeling.
Keep up!
My goal for this weekend was to get super comfortable with modo...so at a very slow and retarded pace i did these.
Nice modeling man, really enjoying it!
How are you finding modo btw, I thought you were using Max.
thanx! Modo is awesome! at first it was pissing me off lol, but now i make sweet love to it every day!
No dude, ive never gotten into max. Its always been xsi for me. Which is why i asked how u did your renders. That shit blew my mind.
That's cool man, yeah, ive heard modo is all the rage at id! 
I really need to give it a shot.
you should, its pretty good! i had a few complaints but now i know how to get around them! lol
Im problably not gonna finish on time, so im gonna try to wing it till sunday...lol. Im gonna be adding more props between those belts. Next i will focus on the cockpit. 1st thing im dying to tackle is that window. Then problably move on to do the chairs and such.
Here are some of the ideas that ive got for the inside of the cockpit and the cushions.
