Nice work,

He's gotta be fun to animate. There is nothing to crit here.
You did a wicked job.

Let's see him all rigged up and acting for us.

... What kind of an attitude will he have.. I can see a little bit of Zap Branagan(sp?) (Futurama)

Later,



King

ok mes amis..
cause you tell me you like it ...
i do this rendering befor i go to bed .. ( 10 min setup not the final one.... and no radiosity )

for the personality
i think it would be a mix betwen buzz lightyear and zap branagan..


more critique welcome... :-)

Great stuff..

I can imagine the Buzz / Zap personality working quite well for him.

I see a little line across his cheaks.. Is that lighting or cause by the facial expression?

Are you using Maya?

There's something going on with the hands for sure. It kind of looks like they're way too wide, and the pinky finger's way too big. Can't really tell though because you can't see them in any of the images...

In the posed image, his pinky on his right hand looks a lot like something else...a mutation is it?

thnx for so many answer..
this is a charcter sheet for jack napalm
i will rigging and animate him when i found some time to loose

"There's something going on with the hands for sure. It kind of looks like they're way too wide, and the pinky finger's way too big. Can't really tell though because you can't see them in any of the images..."

@spike :
_ thx for your critique on the hand...
i change them ( make a 3 fingered mor cartoony hand ) but i a not so happy with them ...i will work on them later...
for the moment i just try to catch his main attitude.. and felling
did you like it ?

"I see a little line across his cheaks.. Is that lighting or cause by the facial expression? "

@ king :
_ you are right this is comming from the facial expression ... ( still have to repair this...)
_ no for this project i use lw..
i am used to work with maya too but we dont own a liscence at work
in my old company job they have 15 maya liscence and 3 lw
and they say : " no lw !!! "
in the new one they have only lw.. but they say: " no maya !! "
and i say: " give me a tool and a assignment , no matter the software"

Excellent job with him. Really like the new character sheet.

I don't know LW well enough. I have been using Maya for over 3 years.. Before that .. SoftImage.

Do you have any ideas for an animation short or quick little .avi or anything like that?

Cheers,


King

The only thing that I would have to suggest is the cloth that is around his hood could benefit from being a little less symmetrical. It is only logical to model one side and mirror it, but if you pulled a couple vertices around (or patches?) in that area it might make it look a little more natural. Otherwise, great character.

dear ephesus...
no i dont know magic......( and i am so sorry about that... )
i just did a test riging ( no weight map , only 4 morphe , no ik...just 45 mn )
i still modell him a sidekick for him
then i would next week when my work plan allow me work on his
final riging

yep Gilgamesh

A rig is not a rig is not a rig, apparently.


The poses are great, any way. Love to see him struttin' his stuff.
Except That his hands seem off to the rest of the figure, I like it alot.

kudos,
David

Alles klar mit Jack, weisst Du ja...
Der eine hatte aber Recht: entweder hat er einen blonden oder schwarzen Bart..
ICH (evtl. nur ich) mag den schwarzen Stoppelbart lieber -- gibt ihm etwas weniger glattes. Die Haende sind jetzt gut mit 3 fingern... weiter so.
