hey man!!! cool proportions and shape!!

Only I think he needs a tail... but..it would be something original too.

Really cool model... The fold are simetrical but,.. I think your are going to fix them in the final version (without mirrors).

Come on! we want discover the head!

Thanks Pabbloz! :)
The tail is a nice idea, I'll think on it.
Yes, the fold are simmetrical... I'm working with istance to modeling the char; I'll adjust it in the final and no-mirrored version. :D
The head is a problem... I'm thinking what do.
I have some ideas about his weapons... ;)

Ok, I hope to read other comments and advices!

Bye bye

cool, interesting anatomy.

the forearms should be intergrated/blended into the elbow area, at the moment it looks a bit like its been plugged in.

some ankles wouldnt go amiss either.

sweet design!

Many thanks for the compliments Krugar! :D
Your advices about the arms and the legs are important: in this moment I'm working hard on these parts!
After, I have to donate him a head.. :)

For the weapons, I think to a BIG clave with nails and a boooomerang!

Mhmhm iu think that legs are wronb proportions......

(Penso che cmq le proporzioni delle gambe vadano rivedute)

Good Work!!
(Bello il resto!!!)

very interesting proportions! Talk about the evolution of love handles!;)

It's looking good. The feet don't seem to blend with the rest of the body. Try making the bump a little flatter. You could also smooth out where the elbow meets the forearm.

Nice work so far!

Hey ! A very unique anatomy. Really great shapes and curves...

You are a MAXer, right ?

Maybe the legs are a little bit too short...i know itīs stylized but thatīs the only thing that catches my eye ;)

Keep on working, dude !!

PS: Also a great web-site . . .

insanelight
02-18-2002, 01:23 PM
Hey BASSit, many thanks for the compliments! :D
Yes, I use MAX 4.2.
I know, legs are short, but I like it... I don't know why.. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comment about my site!

Ciao, perchč non provi a snellire l'avanbraccio e raccordarlo un po' di pių con il braccio anche se parlare di proporzioni mi sembra fuori luogo vista la spiccata fantasiositā del personaggio!

P.S. Complimenti! Ogni volta rimango di stucco!

English version:
mmmmhhh ehhhhh........boh! Sorry

BASSit
02-19-2002, 02:28 AM
Hello, why tests not to slim the avanbraccio and raccordarlo a little
more with the arm even if to speak about proportions me seen place
seems outside the detached fantasiositā of the personage!

P.s. It compliments! Every time I remain of stucco

Okay !!! cool !

"Hi, why don't you try to make the forearm a bit more slim and joint it better with the arm? But the character is very fanciful so I can't speak about proportions.

PS: Compliments! Every time I'm impressed (struck) "


I'm italian as dux8780, so I hope my translation is correct...
Sorry for the little inconvenience.

Many thanks to BASSit (again...) for the first translation!

Well, the work go on... :D
This is the last update of my character: I have worked on some details and made a VERY QUICK skeletal structure.
I'm worried... I don't know if I can finish my character before the end of the challenge! :rolleyes:
I have to work hard on the club and also the skin mod!
Ok... tell me what you think about it..

insanelight

I am impressed . . . how could you set the pose so quickly ? Have you set up some bones ? Or it is a biped ? Whatīs the best way ?

That character is great... i love his pony-tail ;) and the nails iīn the bat.

I really want to see him textured !

insanelight
02-21-2002, 03:56 PM
Yes BASSit the character is completely boned..
I have made a rendering of the bones structure, I hope you find it interesting! :D
I'm now working on the colors and textures... as you can see, the club is textured, but I want make some changes on it (add some MODELING details)...

okidoki!!! fast critics!!
-very good model! :D
-I think the weapon need a bump map
-I don't like very much the mask
-I think you didn't the eyes yet
-I suggest you a Bracelet and other adornments.
-I like the feet
-I love the energy ball! Does it cast shodows and light? I think It should do it.
-Suggestion: a simple produral texture for the blue body could be fine.
-I love the tatoo.

mmm... This is the first things I thought when I saw your model...It's only my personal opinion but maybe can help you
:)


See you!

insanelight

So, I really likee the figure, and the club too.The
textures are great too. the Feet are funny, just
the part near the ankle, it looks a little bit
weird, for me.
Just this mask!!! i dont
know why, but somehow it doesn't fit with the
character. Then the new hair you did, i thought
it looked better without, on the pic above!
Oh yeah, the Pose is to refine, the right Hand looks
some kind of...aah...don't know the english word
for that...hmmm...it just doesnt look as good as it could
look!! Hope you understand what i mean!!

Oh, my english is terrible, i hope you understand what
i tried to say :). i like your character really!! it looks great.

Hi, wow, nice model. Very smooth, I wish I can model like this. Here is a little crit (coming from someone who can't model a box hehe, and have trouble drawing sickmans, but herez some gut feelings). The feets are kinda puffed up, but itz kewl since itz your idea but dunno maybe a little detail in that part would make it ever better. (Say, some veins). And, once again just some gut feelings from an amature, the connection from stomache to the hips seem kinda sharp....no gradual transistion (maybe the pants are covering them up so can't see.. dunno)
But over all a very kewl model. Just trying to be picky since you wanted crit. Love your work.....Can you post some wire-frame shots? (Trying to learn from you hehe)

Thanx.. Keep up the great work. :)

Hi, i like this character, the old nail-onna-club weapon itīs my favorite (Iīm a classic one). I think the eyes should be deeper, and the abdomen its funnny, it seems itīs over the pants, not inside them. The feet are great, heīs been walking over wasps?

insanelight
03-05-2002, 01:50 PM
YEAH!
Many thanks for all your comments! I'm happy now... :D

Hasch2o: yes, I know, the mask could be better... I'll see what I can do on it... :) for hair I don't know, I like it ...

DarkSy: thanks. veins is a great idea... but I want make it with textures... it will be the last stage of the work. Yes, I'll post a wire-frame shot as soon as possible! :D

Pancreas: ahhh.... eyes..... my god. :rolleyes:

Ok, thanks again for comments!
I'm working hard on this model... but I know I can't finish him before the end of the challenge... I'll post updates on this thread while the work go on, but you'll see the final version on my web pages. I have many ideas in mind, and I want realize all!
Well, that's all... bye bye
