The Ascent of the Chimera

 

This is one of the test shots I've done for the Chimera. I used a technique to have it in flight mode without having it mounted on a stand. I added a little Lens Flare effect to make it more fun.



















It looks better without the wings I've made for it (as was intimated by a few people who saw it).

(Edit: I gave up on fixing my lighting problem for the sky layover, but I believe the black background gave the Chimera justice in highlighting its details.)

(Additional Edit:  The eye is an LED mod, not a Photoshop effect).

Great effect! And a mysterious and magical technique too. I'm intrigued by how you did it.

Thanks. The technique is rather simple. You might be able to figure it out. Think, "Movie Magic..."

WOW, the stance and Photo's are very menacing as well as the added silver/platinum armor.

indeed, it looks better without the wings, as it proudly shows off the sleekness from your mods, sir. the concepts, and original design of Unicorn itself works perfectly.

then again, would love to see the wings, and Angelus too ^^

I'll post the pre-paint test fit with the wings.
