Wow. I did that, and now in the little box where the button is it just says, "Fatal Error" when I click it. It doesns't even go to Paypal anymore.

[Sololop]

Well heck, here, I'll donate for the cause.

Didn't have any PayPal trouble myself. Maybe a browser issue?

Deerrrrrp. I didn't even consider that. And ayup, Firefox worked just fine. I guess for whatever reason it just didn't like IE8.

woot!

I shall ping Sandwich for the update.

Whaaaat. Nobody likes IE8. There's your problem right there

Congratulations everyone... we now stand at $325!  Hooray!   Thank you to all who donated!

Now to decide what to do with the extra.  If we can hit $600, maybe we can commission a second model.   If not, we can probably dump the excess into the HLP donation bucket.

It may yet cost extra for both the Zod and the armour.

So now that the money is in posession, what's the status of getting the character made?

[Rga_Noris]

MjnMixael is on vacation. I'm assuming it is as simple as sending him the donated money via paypal and then he pays one of the guys in his studio.

[mjn.mixael]

Yup, that's what we'll do. Goober, I'll email you the details in a couple days when I get back to the office.

[Galemp]

Is this a tax-deductible contribution to a non-profit organization?

[rscaper1070]

My accountant Guido says yes.

[mjn.mixael]

You $300 at work!

My studio's modeller (I call him Big C) has spent the day working on this. He sent me an email with a screenshot that I will share with all of you.

He says "I really wish there was a straight on reference image I could use for this. It's a bit difficult to judge some of the proportions. I'm working to finish the basic overall shape of the creature. After that I'll spend a few days adding in the muscle forms and tweaking proportions"

I already gave him all the hi-res Volition renders of the Vasudan and some screens from some of the cutscenes. But he's right, there isn't any good reference images in terms of getting the proportions right. 

However, it's a fantastic start! He is going to texture and rig him too.

Just a note: Save your breath, he doesn't read the forums. I'll be working with him to make sure we get a quality model for the community to use.

I don't know who rendered this one, but it might be of help to you (if you don't already have it).

Tell Big C that he just made a lot of people on the internet very happy.

[Mars]

Red Rover to Big C, Red Rover to Big C - They named a big water gun after you, over?

[Black Wolf]

How much more for the armour?

[mjn.mixael]

Wut?

The Armor is included. He just hasn't gotten that far yet.

EDIT: He apparently finished up a lot more yesterday afternoon!

That's looking pretty nice. Is he going to be doing the textures too?
