It's not impossible to learn it. I think a lot of your drawing skills (perspective, proportions, etc.) would help you get the hang of it much faster than for most people.

To tell you the truth things like Lego help the most, something you manipulate in a 3D fashion.

Have totally reworked the cockpit are of the mech based on the ortho views, and added various details to it. I am still playing with the light materials and they are not final. Also thanks for the ortho view of the cockpit, helped alot. I've tried to keep it as close as possible to the pictures.

This is looking very promising and exciting.....nice job so far!

I get misty eyed thinking of a Deputy Dawg Urbie Hero.

Looking good...though (and IDK how to explain this in techno speak, lol) the torso looks a little stretched and tall.... it should probably be...er... squashed about 10-15%----

But is looking very good regardless.

In fact, playing in GIMP -.........

The "head dome", and arms are fine, as are the legs, from the front view but the "torso" could be reduced 15% in height (possibly even 3-5% more)


and from the side view, the legs are not thick enough, I increased them to 135% in GIMP


and at that point you would be near perfect proportions.

(I have NO idea how difficult that is to do, though...... )

Actually, just redid the torso (in gimp on my screen) and reduced the torso height 20% and it's about perfect.


and by torso, I mean from the top of the pushbars, to the "waist", not the head dome.


In either instance, might about 2/3 of the ladder rungs, though since the entry hatch is in the rear, they would probably be on the back, anyhow.

Oh.

MY.


It's freaking fantastic looking man. Home run! Thank you for bringing the Dawg to life!

[Bishop Steiner]

Only other mod (might) be to mount the right arm large laser just a skosh higher. But do that, and like you say, tweak the heels a little and.....wowser. Maybe just narrow the heels by 10%? Hmmm.

[Sparks Murphey]

Looking fantastic!

Urb pilots don't need cooling vests. Urbs are so cool, figuratively and literally, that you can drive in a suit and tie!

all good, figure IRL comes first man! (or just having some fun in your time off!)

[Joe3142]

Started doing some work on this again. I have started to add more detail to the cockpit.
