The Plan: Okay. This will be kind of stylized/cartoony: A hoverboard ridden by a punk cartoonish rooster guy, and a minigun attached to the board.

The Story: From the dawn of time, the most intelligent of roosters have been experimenting, trying to make the so-called "Mega-rooster" -- a symbiosis between the 2 superior life forms on this planet: the man and the rooster. There had been alot of missing persons, and mysterious rooster dissepearances, and no-one had a clue they were related to each other.

Just before the A-bomb hit the ground, the rooster scientists came up with 2 prototypes: a male and a female. The 2 were sent off to an underground facility for education and protection against radiation. They started reproducing.

After decades, the roosters are back on the ground, to kick some human ass! Ridin' on their hoverboards, pullin' sweet combos (and taking out some human scum with their miniguns), they're here to stay for good!

The Progress: I've got the hoverboard and the minigun more or less done, and will start on the rooster in like 10 minutes. You'll get some renders later.

Hmmmm......It's original. I like the Raymansque character. But honestly, I'm more of a realist.

BULK UP THAT BOARD!!! Strap a big friggin engine on the back or some super duper hover pads on the bottom. I'm not baggin on the style. It's kewl. But if yer gonna go for the cartoony flair hook it up with some genuine ACME products. If you want some reference on it this bad boy go play JAK II. It's vehicles might be right up your alley, and you might be able to gleam something from checkin em out.

The flipkick is great! ;)

Lets see and indy nosebone. hehehe

Thanks for the input man. Though I totally forgot your advice when I rushed to work, only knowing I had ~half an hour to work on my model.

Anyway, I thought the minigun didn't fit the cartoonish style, so I tried something different: (Upgrade or downgrade?)

I originally planned a bunny cannon, but didn't think it'd be quite as good... Gotta go now.

Well, it looks to me as if the guy and the gun are having anal sex:eek:, perhaps the texture will differentiate it more. But i do think it is better with a more cartoony gun.

Tried something else...

Features:
Ion engine
Dual MK17s
Formula 1 wheels
Front "wheel" made out of a very heavy substance so that the whole thing wouldn't tilt with the engine on
Joystick for driving and shooting

I've never made a 3D person succesfully (especially the head), that will be hard. I'm sure. Planning on making an old war veteran, who needs a wheelchair to live/move, and has had some stuff installed on it for "protection". Maybe I'll make him wear one of those combat helmets, that have small cameras installed to them and show the enviroment (soldiers etc) around him before his eyes... Cool trinket, that is.
