This is my entry to 
Im a 3D Modeler and Fractal Artist for those of you that dont know me yet. This is a 3D model I created using several free programs. Ive been modeling since 1998, my style has changed over the years but Vintage and Steampunk has always been a part of my work. I call this one 'The Mantis'. There was a last Minute Color change on this to fit the period.
Here are a few more Renders I did of this.
Heres a Screen grab of a Render that I did in Scene setting.
And one more Version using a Pencil Sketch technique render.
Heres some wireframe screen grabs of the Build.
This is how I see these as I work on them. Doing short test renders in between adding parts and Colors.
Thank you very much for stopping in to take a look at my Entry.
