I have also TOUCHED his wife before (handshake, arm on the shoulder). I've even STOLEN a few items from his home (a pencil, carton of Bisquick). So don't get all name-dropping high and mighty until you know all the players you're up against. (Although I've never seen Phil naked like you have, you win that round.)<br>Cool work Ronnie!Scotty Buncakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926316003722644372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-78278970931756874742011-10-15T22:11:39.893-07:002011-10-15T22:11:39.893-07:00Good point on the eyes, Ellis.

They are actually kind of floating there as I haven't really integrated the negative space (read: dark areas) in the the eye and mouth cavities) into the final helmet. There is supposed to be some kind of dark material that seals everything in, I guess, and rather than caulking the holes up, I shoved a dark, roughly head-like shape in the helmet to make things look watertight. I need to push the eye-LED slits back into the head and also find a material that has a white blue-glow and use a fall-off/post-process effect, because otherwise the eyes are going to pop too sharply. <br><br>Rick, that is cool that you know Phil. I have the art of Iron Man the movie book and his work is all over that. He really came up with some great designs. One thing I dig about the Iron Man movie armor is that both he and Adi Granov put a ton of thought into making the armor cool, iconic, and plausible. There is a lot of subtle, but slick industrial design in the final product and rather than going all crazy with extraneous detail, every part of the armor looks like it serves a purpose - where form seemingly follows function.Surly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577852160598674926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-87412905427190289402011-10-15T13:22:42.057-07:002011-10-15T13:22:42.057-07:00Coolness!Did you know that Phil was a San Diego gu...Coolness!<br><br>Did you know that Phil was a San Diego guy who cut his teeth on The Journeyman Project? I did some illustrations for that team and worked along side those guys for a short time. Great guys one and all! They've all gone on to great careers in the industry... I've run into a couple of those guys here an there over the years. Phil has has been living his dream for sure!Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-63127924032681215332011-10-15T10:57:13.651-07:002011-10-15T10:57:13.651-07:00Wow!

I realized it was the eyes that just slightly bumped me.Is the real deal that much a decal? Might be easier for animation if you have a little bit of uv territory that gets different shape decals for emotionMrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.com
