And that, my friends, is why you hire a professional.

A lot of time had passed since Christmas 2012, but the next time I ran into Dan– you remember Dan, right? He’s the guy I discussed this model being made for four pages ago?– I had a large wrapped box in my hands, and everyone present knew what was inside.
As he opened it, the reaction was less one of surprise and joy, and more of relief.
Dan knew what a nightmare the project had become for me, and I think that as happy as he was for the actual model itself, he was mostly just relieved that this burden had at long last been lifted from my shoulders.
Merry Christmas-In-March, Dan.
Your patience was appreciated. 😉
Yup. Amazing.
This is amazing, you always do such amazing things.
When will we get to collaborate on a project?!?
1) Which is why I try to warn everyone by way of the site’s title. I don’t want to catch anyone off-guard.
2) You said you would find out if I’m allowed to help you and then get back to me.
That was, like, eight months ago. 😛
Here’s an older maquette step by step that would be a good reference for sculpting larger things. http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/18287-Smellybugs-Maquette-Tutorial-completed!/page15
Love what you did here, really makes me want to try and sculpt something of my own.
I hereby resolve, in my next sci-fi RPG campaign that might require giant stompy robots, to introduce the awesome concept of “Del Torium” in the midst of a bunch of backstory technobabble, and to do so while keeping a straight face.
