Firebird




WIP of my current model, Firebird. My first attempt at modeling a high poly car.
I still got some fixing up to do before i can call this done. But after its finished, my next stage is to get a game model of this ready and hopefully a new portfolio piece.
Lately i have been playing a new game, another rpg. Its called Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning.
Its pretty much fable + skyrim. I think overall it has a nice visual and gameplay. I prefer the gameplay over skyrim. Here's how i see it, in Skyrim, you got a bow and arrow and well all you do is shoot arrow and hit and run or something like that. In Reckoning, as a archer its not just shoot arrow at your enemies. You can instead fire a volley, where its raining arrows and arrows. You can also place mines in front of you. So now if there are any surviving enemies that come after you shot your volley, they got another obstacle to pass through before they can even touch you. I think just those little things make a difference in gameplay. Shooting arrows all day can get very repetitive but  if you mix skills like volley shots , mines , etc . Its makes it more fun.
Also played a couple of other games like Ridge racer for pc and some jrpg's on wii.
Apart from all the gaming and modeling, i started going to the gym. I guess there's only so much sitting down on a chair and sitting in-front of a computer my body can take. Plus its pretty much summer weather down here. And time for golf again...
