Leo Crown [WIP]

Minor Update: I did do a bunch more work on the crown, but due to a rather unfortunately timed crash, I've lost several hours of work.I'd like to take a quick break from teaching myself 3d modeling to relax, and depending on my mood when I start again in a day or so, I may or may not restart the crown. If I don't, I'll move on to making something else, don't fear.

Take solace in the fact that, before it died via crashing, the crown was beautiful.

Hey everyone,

I've never modeled 3d stuff before, but when SMNC opened its content doors, I knew I had to give it a shot. Below is my first 3d object, a partially finished crown for Leo (the bot king). I still need to finalize some bits of the design, optimize the polygon count, and texture it, but it's coming along.

As I mentioned, I've got virtually no idea what I'm doing. Although I'd love to make a full outfit for Leo, I'm terrified of that commitment, given my skill level. For now I'm aiming to make and finish the crown to the best of my abilities, and get it to properly export to the UDK and such.

Anyway, here's the crown. Free free to comment, or suggest something to work into the design.

Edit/P.S.: The right image has some weird twisting in the central spike-thing. It's a issue with the construction of the crown that I can fix, and isn't intended to be part of the design.

pretty cool, needs to be more shiny and kinda needs more details

Great start and ill look awesome once textures are placed. I am amazed how people with no idea are able to create this stuff. KEEP IT UP CUZ I KNOW I CANT DO IT!

Why will no one make him a Botman uniform, it's the obvious thing to do.

Glad to see nobody thinks I'm doing too bad. I'll be working on improving the model (beveling edges and such) today. Any suggestions for details when I get to texturing?

It is quite obvious, although I think "The Falcon" outfit was uber's nod to Leo being batman. I would try to make something along those lines, however I don't think I'm quite skilled enough to pull it off. For now I'm sticking to the crown, possibly some minor re-modeling and re-skinning of the rest of him

It would be obvious copyright unless you're just planning on making a black suit with a black mask with black ears and black cape and call it done.

Batmanesque, with like a slim logo and Antennae instead of the ears.
