I'm a modeler-wannabe with absolutely no prior skills (unless you call DoGA skill, but that pretty much does the work for you.), but is trying to learn. I love Mechwarrior and other things like that, with big stompy walking tanks, loaded with powerful weapons. So, fitting that my first project is a mech: The Ocealot. It's going to take a while, given that, as I said, I have no knowledge of how to do this once so ever. So far, all I have is a rough, textureless foot created. It lacks any form of real detail or texturing, so expect a bit of an eyesore, but here it is:
EDIT: Turned this [img]picture into a thumbnail.
Some planned work for tomorrow:
('1) Fix the two front toes so they aren't laying flat across the ground and partially separate from the ball joint, and so that they fit the middle joint properly.
('2) Get some detailing in, such as a toe cap of some sort for the front toes so they don't just cut off as rectangles, and a rim around that big center cylinder joint.
('3) If I can figure out how, perhaps get a texture or two on.
Expect more tomorrow,

Confoundit! I love that series, but is there a single name for a mech that series hasn't used?
It's an original design, but I was inspired by some BattleTech mechs. I have the whole thing done, except for a few problems.
1)Still no textures
2)Lacking details on
3)No cockpit.
I have mah current work attacked in some thumbnails.
What you have is a good start. Right now it looks like a very rough sketch that's just waiting for refinement. The dog legs are a good approach, but I suggest that you may want to beef them up some. Right now it looks pretty top heavy.
