Ahmato Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think it looks good overall, but the backpack over the cloak, just makes it look weird in my eyes <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just remove the Backpack and call it Termie Armour, he's so friggin Huge <_< Very nice convertion, I like it :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Seems like the Archaon models are peoples favourites for converting! Looks very nice, like the continuation of the split theme that I saw on the Predator. Perhaps add some more detail/interest on the eagles on the backpack, seem rather bland poking out the top of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisko11 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i gotta give you an honest criticism here, i think youhave too much going on on the back and shoulders... you have eagle heads on the backpack, dragon scale on the shoulders, and then a wolf pelt hanging down the back. birds dogs and lizards all over that area... i think it would be a really good idea to replace the eagle heads with chaos weapon nozzles to get a dragon look, then putty over the wolf pelt with more dragon scales to keep the same feeling. overall it looks pretty cool but i just find that particular area a little all over the place. good luck!

Sunburner Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 One thing to answer...there is NO wolf pelt on it....it's ALL dragon scale. I left the claws on cuz Dragons also have claws :lol: IF you looked at it properly...I can easily agree with the backpack part...you have to remember this is the imperium no matter what chapter the eagle head WILL show up. I'll remove the backpack and change it but some of you have to look closer before jumping the gun on comments.. make sure next time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisko11 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 im not trying to antagonize you or start a flame war, but i looked again, and to me, thats fur texture on his back, not scales at all. obviously a few peeps agreed with as to the nature of the texture. as to the eagles, thats for codex chapters specifically, its kinda optionals on the marines who sit in back of the class. salamanders? space wolves? given your textured colorscheme and armor style youve already broken a bit with codex markings so i just figured dragonheads on the backpack wouldnt be much of a stretch... again, it wasnt meant to upset you or put you down, just giving an honest crit on how to improve a good model, you want to put it in a comp so im just rootin for you and trying to help. if you disagree thats ok it was only advice, taken or left as you see fit. good luck with the mini no matter what!

Draxalus Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Actually, I whipped out my GD04 Archaon model to try and end this. There is definatley scales on Sunburner's models back, compared to the (bear?) manlte on Archaon. You need to look very close to see it. It looks to me like in one of the folds of the pelt, it is missing some scales, but that might be eye tricks. I think the way Sunburner highlights combined with the slight-fuzz camera shot makes it seem like its all fur. I can say with confidence though, it is mostly scales. Just look closer. What threw me off at first (because I thought it was an animal pelt also before closer examination), was the claws on the pelt. The arms usually slim down to where the hands/paws/claws meet on lizards. I think you should really shave the arms down a bit, at least near the wrists, and then scale over them. Might help a bit.
