Practically as soon as Paul put up his concepts, he got several emails from modelers in the community asking if they could model her. He told them that as long as I was given the rights to distribute the model, he was fine with people taking a stab at modeling her.
One modeler in particular has really made some progress on her. So much so that this is probably going to be the first model to be released based on the concepts. I think it's fantastic work, especially the z-brush pass on her horns on the second page, which is where I snagged the pic from. (By the way, the page contains nudity and copious discussions of nudity. You've been warned.)
Arshlevon is doing fantastic work. I've emailed him to let him know how much I love the model so far and I'll be promoting her here as soon as he's done with her.
More on the comic as it progresses. And it's definitely progressing...Paul has done all the roughing out of the comic pages and is now working on the detailed line work. Progress!
I'm so excited. I can't wait to see the comic either - are you hoping for a near simultaneous release?

I imagine that the model will be done before the comic, but I'm not sure yet. I think Paul said he was shooting to have it done for April. He definitely wants to have it done before ComiCon this year.

Very cool. The renders posted to Polycount really make want to learn to model quicker.

I'm more excited about the comic book... unless someone makes a HC bot for SABOT. Dialup sucks!

The pics on the polycount site appear to have disappeared, but based on the thumbnail on your blog, it rather resembles HR Giger's painting called "Li" or "Li II" (google to see)
