I'm new here and just getting into paper and 3D modeling, so just starting out with something simple to get the ball rolling... I bring you the head of ROM!!! :twisted:

ROM Spaceknight! As the years have gone by I never forgot ROM. That's a pretty good version. That's the comic-book head. I can tell because it was more streamlined than the actual toy. Have you worked on the torso yet?

Thanks jmich, yeah that is indeed the comic version (which is a way better design than the toy, IMHO). I do plan on modeling the torso, boots and a few of his weapons, but I just don't know when I'll get around to it... I still have a lot to learn. LOL

I haven't thought about that comic book for years, that brings back some memories! :mrgreen:

Yeah. I like Michael Golden's take on the character. Everything he draws looks perfect! See cover art for issue#9:

Wow jmich, you must be psychic because I decided to take a stab at modeling the armor last night... and guess who's artwork I was using for reference! :mrgreen:

Even though my ROM won't be an exact replica of Golden's design, it will definitely be similar. I'm kind of taking a hybrid approach to the armor (i.e. using the best elements of all the comic designs)... so with any luck, it'll look at least half way decent.

In fact, I'm even thinking of re-modeling the helmet to give it that Golden flavor, but we'll see how that goes. LOL
