Had to make a blog post as a requirement of my final project for Modeling 2, but I’m really proud of this one, so I’m reblogging it here. Some of you may remember the early versions of this creature (and concept art) I posted a couple months ago.
Also, The Avengers was the best superhero movie (perhaps even the best ACTION movie) I have EVER seen. I’m glad Joss Whedon didn’t derail any of the characters with his tendency to turn everyone into snarky smartasses, and kept those lines mostly to Tony. Cap was every bit the old fashioned boy scout, Thor was lovable, Banner was great, Widow surprised me with how likable she was, Hawkeye was awesome if not quite what I expected, Coulson was… well, himself. It was awesome. And then all of the action scenes did EVERYTHING RIGHT. I found myself thinking “it would be just perfect if…” and then it HAPPENED, only BETTER than I had envisioned. GO SEE THE MOVIE. Watch the other Marvel movies from this universe FIRST, though. The movie wastes NO time with recaps, and while it will still be enjoyable, you’ll be missing out on about 75% of what makes the movie awesome. Even better, do some research on the characters and the Avengers if you have the time. The payoff when a few of the main set pieces are revealed is ENTIRELY worth it. I went in with high hopes and expectations, and I was STILL overwhelmed with how awesome it was. Don’t let the hype scare you off, it’s the only movie I can think of that actually lives up to everything I’ve heard about it!
This is the final version.
Originally, I did a quick concept model via Spore:
Using the collada export feature, I was able to take this model into Zbrush to use as the base for the creature:
I also did some environmental concept art based on its homeworld:
I then was given the suggestion to rework the creature and add armor, which I began after successfully importing it into UDK:
Various WIPs of the armor process:
I then began to retopologize the armor, as the body had already been retopo’d earlier.

So I read Steve’s side of “Ready Fire Aim”, “Momentum”, written by the ever so fabulous Gyzym… And at the end, Tony and his ridiculous outfit, well, I just had to, really, ok? Sorry it’s a bit cheesy, and unfinished, and on the go, but it’s CHRISTMAS, and I want SUPERHUSBANDS to be SUPERHAPPY. Judge me.
Hope you like it though :D
Need more light, Captain?

Here’s some movie-verse Cap/Iron Man.
I’m not really planning on writing a fic or anything, but here was the scenario in my head:
Steve wanders into the living room or something, in the middle of the night because he can’t sleep (nightmares about being frozen again?). Tony is sitting on the couch, lights are off, and he’s using a laptop. Maybe they’re still moving into their new HQ and Tony doesn’t have a garage/lab set up yet. He sees Steve, asks him if he wants to see what Tony’s been working on.
Steve comes over, sits down next to Tony. Tony shows him a new armor design, or maybe his own spin on the Captain America costume. Steve is still wowed by modern technology. Tony says something about Steve being an artist, unlike himself, and he could use a second opinion. Steve argues that Tony IS an artist, being an inventor etc. Tony starts arguing semantics, Steve is really just enjoying a rare chance to hang out with Tony.
Etc, etc. But point being, I finally drew some fluffy Steve/Tony! Yay!
Of course, freaking Civil War had to go and f*** things up. Goddammit, Marvel! Still not enough to deter me. Found this vid, thought I’d share. Now I really am going back to work. I promise.
Spoilers for some stuff (Civil War) that anyone who actually cares should already know by now, anyway.
That’s Captain America/Iron Man, for those of you who don’t know.
Did you know they were MARRIED in one of the Marvel alternate universes? I just found that out. Of course, Iron Man was a woman in that one, but STILL.

I mean, come ON. But even in the main continuity (Universe 616, I think?) their relationship is pretty strong.
I’m so excited about the Avengers movie, I’ve been educating myself about Marvel in my free time. Aaaand as a result, I might start having to learn how to draw Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans.
BECAUSE.
Still swamped with classwork, unfortunately.
Figured I’d upload a bigger version.
It’s not like I’m abandoning you guys or my fandoms or shipping or anything. And frankly, this is a good wake-up call. Some of those pictures are things that I find embarassing and I am getting ready to get into the game industry for real. Time to bleach the proverbial underpants and whatnot before I make a name for myself, so there’s nothing for anyone to drag up later, eh?
I was planning on removing SOME things eventually. But harsher measures had to be taken when I realized just how brazen (or clueless, perhaps) some people can be. Since I do not have an account on the website the pictures were uploaded to, I contacted the moderators and asked for my art to be removed, since it was posted without my permission. Anyway, hopefully this will all work out. The nice thing about deleting the images from livejournal is that Livejournal allows hotlinking, so any sites I posted those images on, I probably embedded the livejournal versions. So any places that *I* posted them have also had the images removed. I cannot promise that other people have not downloaded the images and re-uploaded them elsewhere, but at least I can do that much.
Livejournal is now purged as well. My deviantART gallery, I had already cleaned out a while ago. Sorry that my friends here on tumblr had to suffer as well, though I know now that this person not only took my images from livejournal, but now tumblr as well, because some of my NSFW GhiraLink was posted in that gallery. The only reason I’m not removing it all from Y!Gallery is simply that images on that site generally don’t turn up on google.
But hey, I left all the image previews in my tumblr. I’m not so much of a jerk that I’ll deprive you all of GhiraLink entirely. Though, I just realized that removing those “cuts” was a bit redundant, since these images are ALSO images from livejournal which have been embedded here. Oh well, too late to change it. They’re kinda perma-gone now.
And I’m sorry I’ve been SO inactive, I just have a LOT of classwork.
Speaking of which, here’s a small test render of a character/species I’ve been modeling for my most recent project, and I’ve also JUST learned about ambient occlusion!
