I'm currently in maquette construction class at the Art Institute of Tampa and I figured a great model would be the original humanoid mutant. The first project is a thumbnail, sort of a grapefruit sized head to get an idea of the direction you're taking.

The next project due in two weeks is a bust of the mutant. The class final at week 11 (nine weeks from now) is the full model with environment, so I'm going to attempt to recreate Citadel Station - at least one section of it. I intend on having one "ring" of lights from the octagonal corridors in the med level, complete with blood on the walls, modeled tile with lights and flickering along with some melting by my soldering iron to create explosion damage. This is all done in Sculpey clay, btw, except for the environment which will probably end up being a form of dense styrofoam I'll have to Dremel out and carve by hand.

Let me know what you think. As I work I'll post images here.

Wtf is Jabber? Rofl.

That blood looks so real.

Great job by the way.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

From the first photo I thought the nose was the eyes. Lol. The blood is very nicely done!

That's amazing...I would definitely follow along in this thread. In the class, do they also group critique your work?

We usually have a group critique every time homework is presented in the class. It's roughly a two hour process in which we all provide in depth feedback about what we like and what could have been made better.

I was working with this as a reference:

I need to create a character model sheet soon, so I'll be posting that up too; it's a full turnaround I'll be sketching out in Photoshop with a tablet/Cintiq monitor. I've also fleshed out my plans for the Medical Level station recreation, it'll use several flashing LEDs to give the illusion of a damaged set of lights that I'll be embedding into foam with plastic sheeting to recreate this:

I'm looking to create only the ring of flourescent lights for the time being. If it's not too difficult I'll add a bit more so the mutant will be darker when the lights flicker on it.

Hey, thanks for pointing out that the sky is blue. I've gotten most of the bust sculpture modeled out and when I get some free time (doing some spline modeling on a chair, way beyond what Ault was asking for) I'll get some photos up before I start to bake it.

Don't mind MSwindows, he's just yet another troll/EXTREMELY retarded person on here.

Anyways, that looks pretty good. I remember playing System Shock a bit but never got around to finishing it, or getting System Shock II.

I should...

It takes a lot of effort to get it to run decently. I have it running perfectly on Vista right now, with all the graphics improvement mods, but no gameplay-changing mods.

it's very good. I see you have all the documentation on it written up, cool.

A bit off topic: I'm a little surprised you went for this course. I always thought you'd go down the game developer's path, and end up working for a company making maps and models. I suppose it isn't out of the question given your experience.

Thank you for the heads-up...I love scary games and never heard of this before. I will try this one out. Thumbs Up

That looks incredible, but I have a small suggestion: Perhaps make the eyes a bit more frowney? The mouth, nose, and etc are all fine, but the eyes should look a bit more angry. I can't think of the proper term for it, but you probably know what I mean.

There isn't much else I can do now that the sculpture is baked. Here's the final, painted version. The other one was a model sheet done in Photoshop as part of my grade. I added varnish to the blood, scratches, and eyes to make the sculpture appear more lifelike.

Thanks a lot. It's been five weeks in the making, about two hours per week spent on it roughly. I'm still varnishing the eyes and blood. I want the eyes to be almost perfect mirrors so I might have to put on about 20 coats of varnish before it reflects that well.
