[pearl3d]

great work mate.......

cool work......:))))))))

[ThirdEye]

Dunno if it's already been mentioned but... how much of the textures is hand painted and how much is photos?

[ivo D]

well all i can say is that most of the textures look great, accept for the nails way to much reflection and spec.

overpainted photo would be my choice..
there is no need to create textures from scratch, why if you have a digital camera or something.

but looking nice.. you nailed him

[kr3ml]

Love the style. A mix of cartoon illustration, surrealism and realism. Well Done.

[Totoro]

Great character, I like the cartoon/caricature look. And nice job on the texturing, but I think the nails are too shiny. Are you going to animate him?

[Siriol]

I want to see him animated!!!

Really nice model, stunning textures!!!

[sigge]

really great character, that was the laugh of the day for me :thumbsup:

I agree about the comments of the nails tough

[[Ace]]

Very Expressive, and really great great texturing ! one of the best skin textures I've seen. Nice job :thumbsup:

[???]

This guy must have large buggers.. anyways.. this is awsome ! :thumbsup:

[Kaksht]

Mhahahaha :thumbsup: Amazing textures, realy great job! Cheers for You!

[visualboo]

Great work but that table blows it for me.

[agreenster]

Man, this is really really good stuff. Well executed.

I do agree that the nose and ear are fighting for attention though. I wish the ears were smaller.

[superlayer]

Wow great work!!!
Nice shader..

[wasted weasel]

he's sort of got a ben stein look to him as well...

[newone]

This is very cool :thumbsup: Congrat!

[agreenster]

Great work but that table blows it for me.

Awwww, c'mon! You know it's just a prop to show off his character! Cut the guy some slack! I'm sure he spent a lot of time on it: Create:Primitive:Plane.

[mikepolizos]

Great Caricature!
You hit the target man!
Well done!

Keep uo the good work! :thumbsup:

[visualboo]

Awwww, c'mon! You know it's just a prop to show off his character! Cut the guy some slack! I'm sure he spent a lot of time on it: Create:Primitive:Plane. Oh I didn't know this was a Work In Progress? [/sarcastic mode off]

For "me" that's like posting a finished piece but not having the two halves welded leaving the seam down the middle. Something that should have been taken care of.

[Spc]

Excellent and funny.

The details are extreme! Excellent work!

[Sanby]

HAHAAHAHAH!

You rock man, that is great.

Sanby

[gmask]

Th at's one big nose.. nice job :thumbsup:

[Matt_Forcum]

he's sort of got a ben stein look to him as well...


Thats who I thought it was when I saw the upper part of his head on the front page!

great texture.

[WhiteBlaizer]

hhahaha very interesting. Long time here i don't see this kind of work, indeed

[???]

Ok.. ok.. you have 6 mistakes on your modeling... Please scale them.

[Funxer]

Whoa......this is the coolest thing i've ever seen...way to go!!!!!

i love it, it's like a caricature sketch...but waaay realistic at the same time...

it really creeped me out.
good job, i'd like to see more.:applause:

[mkhean]

very nice work..dude~!!:bounce:

[lithik]

excellent amount of detail and amazing model

[yowchuan]

Nice! Looks very much like "wax model" to me!

[henrikbc]

Cool image. Nice details and texturing.

What displacement vs. DOF problems did you have? And would that be max' native geometry based displacement, or third party renderer?

[Chong]

hehe, That's really nice :D

[AJ]

Brilliant! :D

[storman]

:bounce::scream:

True artist is someone that makes us wonder!
I think that you are true artist.

Fantastic! Unbeliveable! Exellent!

Good luck!

I hope that your next work will be so unexpectious as this!

Great, great, great!:applause:

[Matt_Forcum]

Ok.. ok.. you have 6 mistakes on your modeling... Please scale them.
Yeah I agree. the nose and ears do seem to be a bit out of proportion...hmmm....

[storman]

Are you joking?

It`s a caricature.

[Marx]

I dont want to deface your illustration because i love it. The amount of detail is truely breath-taking.

However, it seems to me that his knuckles (the hand knuckles, not the finger ones) are a bit misplaced. Im looking at my hand and my knuckles are about a half inch further down my hand. If you look at references, you can see that your knuckles actually start IN your hand instead of right where your fingers meet your hand.

Just nit-picking.

[Bimo]

intersting guy, i luv it, its unique. good job once againhttp://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

[d_floh]

this is sooo great! it really is a great caricature of couchepin!

BRAVO!:thumbsup:
and... are you doing the other 6 of the bundeshuus???

c ya florian

[d_floh]

wow!

i have seen calmy-rey on your homepage... it is simply GREEEEAAT...
can't wait to see the 5 left....

[DoLeeP]

nice work I like it alot:thumbsup:

[Stoolfeather]

ohh man thats freakin me out, good stuff

[MailboxHead]

This is nice; however, it looks very similar to a painting by Sebastian Krueger of Pete Townshend.. Inspiration maybe?

will

[Milou]

it's beautiful, make me smile everytime I look a it :D

[YasushAzush]

what u have done is grate
good job
i like to see the 3d max snapshot of it :thumbsup:

[Bertha Big]

Awesome work ! Looks much better than the original :twisted:

[spacefrog]

great modelling !

but are'nt the proportions a little off ?
it might be my low-cost monitor distorting the image -
but some subtile details do not fit - i mean - i can't name it -
but there's really something WRONG with this picture ?!?!?

































;-)

[Funxer]

Texxx...

I was looking at the picture of Pascal Couchepin and noticed that one of his MOST DISTINCTIVE characteristics is that his ear lobes are big...not that his ears are big...I would keep the whole ear big, but would like to see the earlobes the proportionally dominate part of the ear...

just wanted to lend a hand...or something

gr8 wrk!!!

hello funxer
him mayby texxx should answer you
but i think Couchepin has big ear lobes, and a really big nose...
i try to insert a real photo of Couchepin

[d_floh]

http://www.admin.ch/ch/d/cf/br/107.html

here a link with a picture of him...
since i has no homepage and so can't attach pictures...

[Funxer]

yes...i think that texx is RIGHT ON, except that his ear proportions or REVERSED the ear lobe should be proprotionally larger than the helix and antihelix...

thanks for the comments..would like to hear texxxs opinion...perhaps

[texxx]

Thanks for the all the comments.

You are Right, Funxer, Lobes are too small, no doubt.

Are you joking?

It`s a caricature.
Of course I am joking.

[shakes]
