Heya folks... been pretty busy with work lately, but I've also been working on a little project...

Fangz the Wolf,

has been building a custom map for Team Fortress 2 based on Sonic the Hedgehog's Green Hill Zone. Since his former modeler quit, I'm helping to model a bit of scenery for him. Here's the first one I've completed, the palm tree. I'll also be doing a sunflower and a rock.

All the models are supposed to be based on the 8-bit 2D Sonic game sprites, so it's interesting yet surprisingly difficult to maintain the '2D pixel' look in a 3D medium.

Anyhow, look for this tree, coming soon to a capture-the-flag match near you!
