Tortoise and Hare.

I am making steady progress with my diffuse map.  I am putting in the hours where I can but I must admit I am feeling pretty tired after work today.  I am stopping now as I am starting to make mistakes.  I am living by the motto
    
         'Less Haste More Speed'

or my adaptation

         'Less Sleep More Coffee'

I have added the edge ware to all the panels on the legs now and I have started to work into the belt.  I have tried to leave the lower panels unscathed to add depth ( I think I may need to work a little edge wear in to add dimension) as well as to break up the character.  I am looking forward to working on the torso as there is quite a lot of detail there and this should really bring the model to life.






Oh and yes Stas I need to work to a time limit on each part to get more done.  This I try, I always seems to come back later and tweak. Tweaking is a devourer of many hours, but it is the road to greatness.

  1. Looking good man. Don't tell me you spent the entire day on the scuffs for legs though? That deserves some kind of tweaking masterclass trophy.

  2. No buddy, not the entire day. Unlike you lazy lot I was at work. I spent about 4 hours last night after dinner adding scuffs and adding the shadow layer. I find that I am not quite as productive after spending the day dealing the customers of St Helens.

  3. That's because your turning into one of them! I'll keep hold of this trophy then - for now.
