    And if someone else then the owner stops the metronome he gets heart attack and finds himself in the OooOo OoO! world. But only for 10 seconds as a funny joke.

    Bob has a Work in Progress for us! He has been working in 3D Max and ZBrush building out the Darkstarr Metronome. Bob, Bren and I had a quick conversation about animation and how the metronome would work. Once Bob is finished Bren will be setting up the animations.

    the proportion between the wings and the body of the metronom appears wrong. The wings are much to big for this body or the body to small for the remaining parts. Spine seems also out of the center if you look the scythe.

    Aye, the wings are incredibly larger than they were in concept. If the body is still life-size, this may be going through the ceiling!

    Does the blade fold in when the coffin is closed or is it always open?

    Being honest, the final concept art looks much better and feels more compact instead of this 3D version , the wings were more closed and the skeleton skull was much bigger. It looks like the dimensions are not sync , the current version looks twitchy.

    The runic inscription on the pedestal is missing :)

    Yeah, in the concept the wings nicely framed the head of the reaper. Now they feel slightly disjointed and out of place. The spine looks centered to me, though the asymmetry of the scythe could cause one to think otherwise.. ;) I imagine the scythe not only folds down, but will slide up and down the spine as you adjust the tempo? (since it is acting as the counterweight). And I believe the runic will be added as a texture.. so that should not be an issue)

    I'm very excited to have one of these; i know i'll need assistance for practicing my lute skillz..

    Looks awesome guys! Love the new 3D update. Wings look really cool and definitely make the piece.

    It's a work in Progress without texturing so I'm sure it'll look great once it's complete :p Hopefully we get another video like the Moon Dial.

    Like others I think in the concept piece the wings framed the head better, also in the concept piece the tips of the wings curved a bit more. In any case I know this is a WIP but I know you guys don't mind a little constructive criticism. Can't wait to see the final result! :D

    I'm really excited to get the metronome. I'm going to see if I can recruit enough people for the moondial (though sadly I don't think I know enough people in my direct circle of friends who'd be interested in this).
