Thanks, again. I feel a little bit cheated on my next Mech. Somehow, I
guess via e-mail charma, they have quite a resemblance. I guess you have
mentored me more than you thought.
|
D’HO! Sorry about that. Well you know what they say about great minds. “Great
minds think alike and fools seldom differ.” I know I’m a fool so....
| |
I like the animalistic references with the cockpit and feet. Cool.
|
The angles kept playing upon themselves with this creation. It worked really
well.
| |
Your color schemes are always unbelievable. The green is really great.
|
I love Green/DkGray. It’s such a forgiving color combo and just drips in
“cool.”
| |
I like how you switch, as stated, from a fully-geared Mech to one that is
almost stationary. That really makes me question every joint I make, “How
does it need to move?” , “Does it need to move?”, “Does it need to be a
gear?”. Great inspiration.

That’s the point isn’t it. It’s like when we read I think. You’ll want a good
nice deep story so you go and dig out some Shakespere, or a good Russian Novel,
but afterwards you’re spent in a way. So it’s time to dig up a good old D&D
novel and have some proverbial cake after eating the meal. Always remember,
this is supposed to be fun, and that’s how I build. I’ll get worn out after a
big complicated creation. It’s lots of fun and very rewarding to pump out a
mech like this. Both are awesome, but in very different ways. “Play on”
people.

I am biting on your offer on the backgrounds. How do you do that? My
micro-city would have been so much better with a background like that.
|
I am fortunate that my dad is a photography hobbyist. He’s been watching my
skills grow over the last few years and on my last birthday bought me a
photography screen. The thing is Very, Very nice. I roll it out place the
creation on it and it makes a nice clean background. Before that I had two or
three pieces of art paper that I set up behind the creation. Not as seamless
but very clean and good looking none the less. For smaller creations they
worked exactly the same as a photo screen. A few simple things for the photo
shoot (a nice solid background, good lighting and a tripod) and a decent art
program (I use Corel Draw 12) will work wonders for your published works.
Thnks for the reply Brian.
