Well, this is it. I've finally finished my Arwing. It's really a great feeling, seeing one of your dreams fulfilled right there in front of you. I've wanted to do something like this since I was, I dunno, six. Ever since my freshman year I wanted to make this for my third-year project, and now it's finished. Well, I could still make the lighting a bit better, but I've got all week to do that.
I actually finished this at home in 3Ds Max, so I'll have to see what my teacher says about that. It shouldn't be a problem, seeing as a couple other people have been using it. Besides, this is the program I'll be using next year in my fourth-year project. I'm not gonna say what it is yet, because I'd like to do a couple sketches of it first. I do plan on working on it over the summer, of course. Or, at least, a couple aspects.
Looking at this, I'm not entirely satisfied. I guess no artist ever gets exactly what they wanted for their end result. Part of being a skilled artist is understanding your limits and knowing when to say "that's enough." And that's exactly what I did here. I would've liked to put a couple more pieces on it here and there, made the G-diffuser struts a bit more accurately, but I just ran out of time.
I'm fine with that, really. After all, I've got all summer to make this again.

Looks good, mah man! You're pain, sweat, and tears has really pulled through for ya! I'm proud of this thing, but probably not as much as you! I'm so glad your patience (or...sometimes lack there of...) and perserverance have pulled through for ya!
Excellent work! I look forward to more!
I'll get a new render done tomorrow, with a higher resolution. You just can't appreciate the details for what they are right now.
