KNight's Custom Commander Adventure

Well TV broke everything really, it was pretty indescriminate, caused issues for a bunch of our units, not just the Basilisk.

For design stuff, I recommend reading through the thread if you haven't yet, I explain a lot of stuff along the way.

I'm not sure what you mean by "straight", the shoulders are pitched upwards while the head is slightly pitched down.

I touched on this early in the thread, in short the whole process was extremely stream lined because of the over 100 commanders being done for backers and Uber are really sticking to it, even to the detriment of the Alpha and Theta concepts IMO.

Took a night off but diving right back into it this morning;



-Got a proper Gun arm now
-Tried the suggestions from Teod for the legs
-Swapped the Blue and Light Gray on the Shield
-Messed around with the Upper Arm Coloring a bit

All in all I'm liking it, but the shields might need to go back to what they were, as they are above they have the same "layout" as the Gun/Lathe Arms which feels a bit awkward.

Mike

I don't know, the shields look pretty cool IMO..., but the other way around looks good too.

Well yeah, in isolation either one looks fine really, but it's all about the big picture!

Mike

Any chance of a full AO render of the latest version?

I mean in this case, of course.

Probably not, it would take a bunch of re-remembering/re-learning to combine the two AND it wouldn't really matter that much because of course nothing is final and I'd rather focus on getting the files to Uber frankly.

Mike

Ah ok, no worries! I must admit having done rendering of cad models allot I assumed it was a simple matter of ticking a box in the rendering software.... if it's allot of work then obviously you have more important things to be doing. Looking good btw!

To be honest it looks better, but not as good as I thought it would be. I guess a little bit of blue on the hip wouldn't hurt. Maybe this yellow thing on the side should be blue?

Try changing the shape of the yellow part. Maybe it should be geometrical shape or pattern, or a symbol, or a stripe off-center through the whole plate. Stripe would be nice.

Most of the things that went down are on the shields, Swapped the Blue and Light Gray back and messed around with a couple of ideas for the secondary and some minor tweaks here and there.

In the end thought, I think this has progressed far enough to submit to Uber, it was only ever going to be a guide/suggestion anyway so no real point over-investing into something I can't do as well as the guys at Uber right? So I'm gonna spend the rest of the night setting up the overall package for Uber and with some luck it won't be too long of a wait to get it in game!

Mike

Very interesting to share the process with us KNight, thanks !

Wooooow, Id definitely buy that

A very interesting read on the development of your own custom. Thanks for sharing this.

I had a quick idea for where to stick the secondary color, so I figured I'd do a quick and ugly paint-over in case you're interested:

Mike

When will this guy be done? I want to check him out already .

Well it's in Uber's hands right now I haven't heard anything back yet so I'm assuming that either they haven't started on it yet(I don't have higher priority than anyone else so I just get slotted into the queue) or they have started it and just haven't had any issues with it yet and they haven't reached a point where my input is required yet.

Mike

hmmmm could have bit more in the torso and leg area imo ... may be a bit on the spine too?

forget it: watched the pictures above to late ...

Come on Uber! Get this commander into the armoury XD

Calm down, they have the Files, they'll get to it when it comes up.
