Twisted Extreme Sports - character - MarcoPOLO

[drunkenmaster20]

nice, I like the boot-devices, and the entire model. I'm guessing it's a ball game that can be played on the walls and/or ceiling.

Keep going m8, it's looking good so far.

Nice work ,u r so fast

[MarcoPOLO]

Thanks guys, and drunkenmaster20, your guess is close, but not quite right yet =)

Anyways, I'm not quite sure where to go with the design right now.....any suggestions???

Thats a strangely shaped ball - is this some type of rocket-boot propelled rugby, or something like that?
Cool model so far - he looks really funky :D But perhaps he will be requiring a lot more protective clothing??

[MarcoPOLO]

LOL, you're all getting pretty close, but not right on the money yet. I've added some eyegear, but come to think of it now, this guy might get a little battered up without some more gear.

well, back to work

[MarcoPOLO]

Some updates:

Adding details to model, gave him some backpack thing to power his "hover boots", various other details. not sure if i should go with a cartoony style of texturing - basic colors, toon shader, or if i should go all out realistic - suggestions plz.

anyways, here's the latest:

looking very nice there, marco. As for colouring/rendering, i'm not sure. not knowing what you have in mind for either method makes it hard for me to pick. It would be nice to see it in a final-fantasy-esqe almost-realism style, but it would also be good to see it as raw manga-style. A tough choice.

one more pic.

Well, i'm still not sure what to do, though I'm looking at a picture of Rikku here =D and thinking it would be really cool in that style.

[benwoodward]

looks cool.. I like the 'manga' kinda style you got going. neat feet too.

[gwelty]

this is bad....... it's just bad.......it's totally bad i tell ya

(that's bad in a good way)

[MarcoPOLO]

Well, I've started texturing this guy, pants legs, shoes, and pads so far, but I'm at work now so I'll post pics a little later tonight!

thanx for the support,

MarcoPOLO

Great lookin model! howd yah model it so fast, all polys, subD?

:buttrock:

[Satyricon]

More, More!!!:buttrock:

[MarcoPOLO]

latest updates, plz tell me if you like it or not - my texturing experience is not that great, and I spent half the time just trying to unwrap the damn UV's!!! Anyways, plz post your C&C's.

btw, eRaDiCaT0r the model is pure polygons smoothed out. (except for the laces, had to go nurbs there for texturing purposes1 =D)

Excellent job so far Marco. You are moving very fast and it looks great!!!:thumbsup:

[Virtuoso]

Looking very nice.................I like the real exxagerated features of your character, the toon look. Now just keep un-wrapping those UV's..........They are worth it in the end............

For me I would still go with the more realistic textures look ..................the blend or difference with the usual toon shaders I think would add to the originality of your creation. So far it is one of the more interesting and nicer creations of this challenge, keep it up........:applause: :)
