Modelling Improvements - Show us your progress!

[PROXY]

Hey guys!

I thought, I'd make a thread where everyone could post his first and latest model, to show everybody how much he has improved since his start. A few comments to the pictures would be nice too! I'm just interested about it, as there may be guys whose first models already looked great, while others had a bit more difficult start. But the main porpuse of this thread is to give all the modellers motivation to continute their work, constructive critics and comments about their doing, and what they could still improve!

So I start:

one of my first models

the same model more or less, way more advanced

Well I am a beginner with games models, but I learned how to model with engineering programs. So far I have only my first complete model work.

First Animated Model

Currently it has Birth, Stand, Stand Work and Death animations.

pretty much a coincidence coz my first and latest models are both skeletons

first

yeah it sucks because of clipping and its just a giant geomerged monstrosity

latest

fully custom meshes(except for the skull)

I fear posting here because people will realise that I haven't changed a bit. Same old scene.

Then

Texture was ripped from UT.

Texture was by Pins (a.k.a. P!ns, P!nS).

Now

Texture by me (you can tell).

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I feel like I can make something immensely better, but work too slow and/or are too lazy to actually do it

Tanks, Old to New

Jeeps Old to New

Units Old to New

No actual progress, actually

This was my first model and this is my last model so far. I'll make more with the passage of time. The model I'm working currently on is the Haradrim Slayer (hero). Unlike my previous models, he is going to use a custom skin, partly hand-drawn by me. I'm not very far yet, but i have finished my concept pic. It's the pic below. My main problem in this case is my very lacking and low knowledge of skin-drawing. I'm studying daily various tutorial (not only the ones from Hive) for improving my skills in this.
This is my concept so far: Haradrim Slayer Concept
