L.I.S.A.

[boofredlay]

L.I.S.A. which is actually a converse acronym for Autonomous Strategic Incursion Legation.

I had fun doing this one, trying new techniques. Hope you like. Hopefully more views to come.

Edit: Base render with Twilight then Photoshop blending and painting.

Great modeling

[numbthumb]

Indeed . Love that subtle weathering. How did you do that?

[boofredlay]

Just plain 'ol fashioned painting... in Photoshop however. I used a dry brush with a dark color, set the opacity low and painted it on. I then erased some edges of the panels.

Thanks John, Tom & Numb.

[Hieru]

Outstanding work

Now I'm going to have to go away and have a long hard think about how you modelled the panelling.

[solo]

So, what is it?

Great modeling by the way.

This would be a surveillance drone? Very nicely done. Who you gonna check on?

[boofredlay]

Yes, that was the intent Tim. I am checking on you of course.
Thanks. And thanks David and Pete.

I have another view cooking.

Nice flowing shapes. Any stealth technology? (probably not I guess because of those flowing shapes)

[boofredlay]

Thanks Steve.

Here she is all shiny and new.

That is just BAD

Very cool Eric. Is this a side project or paid work?

Scott

[boofredlay]

Just for fun. And to learn some new techniques. Always learning.

Thanks Scott. And thanks Walt.

That's great!

Eric, my kid looked at it and said " this is what you get when you cross a flashlight with a crossbow" LOL.

I see it.

no disrespect to modeling however.

Kids...tsk!!

[boofredlay]

Ha ha, love it. Fletch over at the Twilight forum said it looked like an underwater vehicle. All in the perception.

I think I might try a rusted one next but my playtime is about over... work is picking up big time.

Thanks Phil for the comment.

Tour de force in modeling. Simply outstanding attention to detail.

[solo]

Very clean modeling Eric.

[d12dozr]

Wow, nice job, Eric. Lots of subtle details show up in the wireframes, it looks a lot simpler than it really is like good designs should!

[boofredlay]

Thanks guys.

[mitcorb]

Man, this drone is really getting a lot of "air" time, heh heh, as it should. Please send me your brain as soon as you are through with it.

[Pilou]

What is its gasoline ?

[mitcorb]

Well definitely not an old lead acid battery out of a '57 Chevy. Most likely, a Lithium Ion battery, but even those are heavy.

[unclewk]

Great modeling.

[boofredlay]

Thanks yet again.
Here is another compilation, this time with other objects for scale. I played with styles a bit too.
