Lathe and Loft

It was supposed to be an axe, but for some reason I was having trouble mapping the blade. Lathe = handle, point on top, and the golden stand.  Loft =The hand wrap (helix, rectangle), the pick(star), and the hammer head(circle, square).  attempted three point lighting. had to close the hammer a bit, you can see the issue in the third picture down.  Haven't slept since I got off work at 3 am...it was fun though.

Ammo lighting





I am not proud of these, I am going to need a little more time to tinker around with this system. I will probably repost improvements in the future, it is supposed to be sunset.

Ammo room






I envisioned a room(tried to anyway) owned by some heavy metal fanatic.  He fears that soul and balls of music are being ripped away about teeny bopper Justin Bieber.  The map is of his hometown, and everything else is more or less related to the band Motorhead.

Logo



I thought I would do something fun yet a touch retro lacking any level of class...the idea behind an old bowling alley.  I hope I captured the tackiness.

Robot




I thought that the hardest part of 3d modeling was going to be the artistic aspect, I was wrong.  I'm trying to understand the user interface but making less than enviable progression.  Anyway, this is my Robot.  What he lacks in a sharp angular body, he makes up for in plasma gun. His appearance, in my opinion, lends him to be a soldier bot for the good forces, or personal guard.  He has a touch of cute, but he means business.  I messed around with the self-lumination for the left eye and green tanks. I chose a marble background because it looked vaguely camouflage.  I made his body a glossy metallic grey.  I hope it's up to par.
