Ok, for the moment, I have been swayed. But, don't count a victory just yet.

hi,
mhh looking good, but the cervix look a little bit to long, but without textures is hard to say if it really to long.

to the horns.
imho have the demon his horns.
if you look the front you can see the horn, ok its more a V.

but demons doesnt have only horns like devils or only horns like devils.
they have spikes and normal horns too.
if you want to add on the head some extra, maybe experiment with normal horns and spikes.

i think thats will more aczept as devil horns, because the shivans use spikes and the devils horn look to much for earth and the shivans as race hadnt, as far we know, to freespace no contact with mankind.

my 5 cents *g*

The whole horns thing was a piss-take, right?

[Col. Fishguts]

Ribs are still too angular, I think. They follow the countour of the original model too much and scream low poly.

They are at this point, but I'll smooth e'm out before I get done.

I'd vote for smoothing out all of the 'curved lines'. You know, the spoiler-like thing and the downwards spikes ...give them a nice, smooth curve. That's the point of HTL-ing, IMHO.

[Depth_Charge]

looks kick ass.     btw is the head of the htl demon alittle small then the orginal one???    another question, and this is off the topic.  is teh Ravana still in progress???   just wondering?

[Taristin]

the cervix look a little bit to long,

Mm, that'd be a problem I guess. >..>;;

[Cobra]

IMO it's not that's it's too long, maybe it's a little too thin. I like it though.

[Mehrpack]

hi,
its possible, too.

i take the picture and cutting a little bit of the cervix out of the picture and put it together again.
thinks look better.

Now guys, don't worry the neck in that pic is not in it's final shape. And the head is probley off sized as well, but it will be fixed on later updates,

[Trivial Psychic]

When TrashMan was doing his HiPoly Demon (which got trashed during some HD problems, IIRC), I had suggested doing some cresting on the head, and some overhang at the bottom of each side panel, with some red glow from the hidden bit.

Head, side profile:  standard on left with suggested alteration, end result on right



Main body, front profile, intended as the widest points on the ship, which meet together as the spoiler on top:
Full arc (top to bottom) on left, closeup of altered sections on right.



As you can see, the changes are nearly opposites of each other, because of their placement on the ship.

Actually, as a model I quite like the idea, just not as a model of the SD Demon

And I listened...and now I weep for the horrible loss

I might try my hand at it again though

[Goober5000]

Eww.  It looks like it hasn't had a decent barbecue in months.

[Kaboodles]

My favourite thing about the Demon was that it looked intimidating, like some kind of armored bulldog.  The ribbing kinda takes that away IMO.

[Mongoose]

I've always felt that the Demon was one of the few original models that more than holds its own against anything in mv_models, and that's one of the main reasons why.  This is the one model that I'll be pretty damn picky about when it comes to hi-poly-fying.

[WMCoolmon]

Didn't somebody else make a HTL Demon? Or am I just thinking of the Ravana?

Regardless, I don't like where this model is headed at all. Most of those extra 'details' don't have any basis in the model's textures. The bottom spiky things are kind of evil looking though.

[Trivial Psychic]

That was TrashMan, who lost his in a tragic Hard Drive accident, as stated earlier.

Show me where I can get detail from the model's textures and I will give you a cookie.

I don't like it. The ribs make it look underfed and destroy any chance of getting back the armoured shell look of V's model, as well as forcing massive texture changes, the head looks weak and the neck seems too long. Too much change from V's model and not in a good direction.
