a few more polys

pirhana (?) fishing sounds fun, but no...... no death or mutilation except by accident........maybe a nose bleed (a hint)

It's very hard to figure out this sport though...

Who can throw the most fish at the local politician without getting caught? :)

very nice face, is that L/W?
It's goign to take some thinking on the significance of the minnow, though. It cant be as simple as swallowing it, maybe it is bait for an underwater game of some kind.:thumbsup:

Hey gwelty, it's just normal ceylon tea with a spot of milk today. Safe sort of tea; the kinda tea you take home to meet your mother.

Great eye! Love that iris! Is it yours, or did you make it from scratch?

Here's a gross, but true story for you.
Back some years ago (in my youth) my best buddy and I were double dating these other lovely girls. We were going to a movie. At the time we didnt know a thing about what they had planned for us that night.
They had gone together to a local pet store, and bought a couple of goldfish. These poor fishies were going to be placed into the pants of their boyfriends (me and my buddy) some time during the movie.

We foiled their plans before the movie, having seen that something was amiss. I swallowed the goldfish (alive) right in front of the both of them.

It took almost a week before she would kiss me again, though.
I don't recommend doing this ( at least not very often).

:thumbsup: keep up the good work G,:thumbsup:

open up and say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

not much of an update, but i wanted to add somethin.... the rest of the week should give me more time on this

now i just gotta get rid of the texture falloff on the edges

dmcgrath - i really liked the story, read it a little bit ago, but i couldn't understand why.....then i remembered my minnow, (duh) thanks for the mental vacation


i can just taste the goldfish!!!

erilaz
09-24-2002, 12:13 PM

Coming along very nice, your character has a lot of style and personality.:thumbsup:

Hmmmmm....a fish, and maybe a nosebleed...what could it be? Maybe some sort of cliff diving/fishing from VERY high places?

Echo - nope

CactusJack
09-26-2002, 03:36 AM
like the colors on his shorts...
let me guess...does this sport consist of a jello-pit, and a gerbil?
whatever it is, your character is freackin cool!

:beer:

Virtuoso
09-26-2002, 04:47 AM
This is coming along swimmingly.............But just what is it all about...........fishing in a tornado........... Either way I like the details and the direction you are headed, even if the "EXACT" direction is still unknown..............Fine work Gwelty..........:)

MikaelPersson

That is a great looking character. One thing struck me, those eyes, gloves and feet are the same hue. Maybe change the gloves and feet to a slightly different blue.
It could be a trait but to me it is disturbing. But maybe thatīs just me.
Anyway, really nice modelling.

gwelty
09-26-2002, 11:38 PM
Cactus Jack - thanx, oh! really close......(not really)
Virtuoso - much thanx, but somethin tells me you got a whopper underneath that tarp of yours (and good to see you off the beach)
Michael p. - thanx, you got a good eye and appreciate it..... i'm gonna paint everything still so colors will change.....

i'm having system woes so, i'm not sure about my posting in days to come....luckily i'm 3d'in on another box so that will continue

GWELTY IS DEAD & PIGWATER IS TAKING OVER.....in the last 10 days my cd player died, my flourescent lamp fixtures melted (literally), both monitors on one computer fried and on my other. no mouse will work and the tablet has freaked.....

i was shooting for a little animation-but there's no way now..its's taken 10 minutes to just do this.....i still got two weeks and he's all rigged, so maybe i can patch a still or somethin together.....but right now no promises.....wish me luck

it's been fun and i'll try to watch how your all doin
