@ Elf: well - as stated above: no copter - something entirely different, (but i have to be careful not to evoke to great expectations) - glad you liked the teddy - guess u have to be into soccer to enjoy the joke! Btw.: Ronaldo is without a doubt the best overall player in the world:love:

Strange is always cool! Unless it's creepy strange, like people on the tram who stare at your knees intently for the whole trip.:surprised
Strange is a great word, because it's multifaceted! You can be strange, and everyone likes it, or you can be strange and everyone edges away slowly.

Birds may be a little manufactured, but depending on the scale it looks like something you could get off a funky weathervane, or maybe a carnival or amusement park ride..

just one thing to "crit" right now: don't overdo the textures, remember that it has to look good untextures (i love the textures right now, but you'll have to kill them for the final piece)
well shouldn't be much of a problem because you don't have too much contrast in 'em...basic shaders + bump should sure do

ofcourse, the rubber-bands are attached to the rotors ;). I was more thinking of how you actually did wind up the rubber-band. The same thing you are contemplating.

Hm..maybe for the rubber band winding, some kind of pedal arrangement? With a ratcheting gear..not sure of the mechanics of it, but once it unwound, you could pedal like mad to rewind it quickly, etc. or maybe just a big hand crank.
Anyway, go man go :buttrock:

@Gabe and Hypercube: Thank you!! :) I really appreciate it ! Makes me want to work more!
I thought of a pedal system too for the winding, but then what happens when it unwinds? The poor guy flying that thing would end up with no feet -> if heīs to slow! So the ratcheting gear idea is pretty cool and would prevent the feetloss!! Nifty!- :thumbsup: A hand crank is another possibility - it has to be reached from a seated position though ..... hmmm.... well, thereīs always a solution! Thank you for the suggestions!!!

i love the vehicle and the character, cool designs
just a thing about the guy: i think the area where the hole in the iris is supposed to be is extruded ? well it looks wrong...might be the lighting
*edit* mh sorry i didn't want to take your piece apart but i noticed some other things:
those skin "flaps" under the eyes look a bit too hard towards the nose, i think they should look more like they're hanging down, so they should get thicker towards the middle and almost invisible towards the sides
and the helmet: those bolts you got on there could use some kind of trim on the helmet, something on the helmet that makes it look like it was made to house these bolts
like this:

As you said, more tweaking on the way. But I will try to comment what I see. The thing that struck me first was his lower legs. I think the thin legs should be translated downwards, they look to large right now. I like the size of his kneepads and the boots though.
Nice work.

Umm, this is probably really minor...but would add a whole hell of a lot...for his pouch on his hip...i'm guessing that's going to be leather? well, some nice pinches and creases would nicely break up the blockiness it kinda takes on at this point. plus, the loop where the strap seems to be missing...did it tear off?
