Okay finally got around to start modelling this celestial avenger concept. Its far from completion the poly limit i set myself is 3000 tri's , and its a pretty messy mesh at the moment, and sits at 2580 tris as it is. ill fix up all the dodgy bits in the next day or 2,... as well as give him some hands ;)
comments / crits welcome,..

hey hes looking pretty spiff haz, nice concept too. are you gonna finnish the pic off?
well you better *shakes fist*
but a little suggestion about the drawing, even tho it is concept and blah blah blah, i think you should try to think about depth as well its all in the foresortening and the shading as well :) i think you will pick that up well, add some 3d to ur drawings and they will loooook sooooooooo cool, not that they rnt cool already. and i think i should shut up cuz yeah...... *looks around whistling*
but yeah nice model ^^ keep going!
whoops forgot to post the final concept, hes all done now [:)]
ill just get the model complete then ill colour the concept,..
stay tuned...

Nice model. I like the cross belts on the chest plate which you had in your concept, which I reckon would look cool on your poly model. I prefer how the wings are face more downward like in the concept as well, but that's just a personal thing. The chest plate on the model needs some edges turned (between the chest) and you could probably merge those two close vertices on the wings. Looking good, can't wait to see it textured. [:)]
okay heres an update, ive just finished off his hands and added the cross-belt across his breastplate.
currently at 3364 tris - so hes a bit over budget, but ive still to clean up the mesh [;)] and theres lotsa areas where too many polys are used, so once i get that fixed up,.. ill post a final pic of him then start texturing.
I changed his shoulder pauldrons from thos big barrel type things just cos i think these ones looked better.

Souri: yeah i know what you mean re the wings,.. i just modelled them stretched right out - in a relaxed pose theyll be all down and semi folded [;)]
Nice concept, I'm still learning how to draw so to me it looks awesome.
