PA Challenge - Character - Haldir

[ACFred]

Neat character.....and NO, don't shorten those antennae! You have super short arms and they'll be nicely countered by those antennae. Heck, you could even have his antennae act as a substitute in situations where his arms aren't appropriate.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see him finished and moving around.

Good luck!

I gave 'em a kinda O2 tank backpack thinga jigger...but what I cant figure out is what Kinda weapon this lil' bugger needs.

And do you think his head is too big? I want it to be a bit larger than usual but still look like something that is physically plausible.

Any input would be most appreciated...

Thanks guys, and good luck to you all.

Hi Q-Bert! ;)
(your avatar make me think to this game...)

What a mutation! very funny
Is it what we will look like after apocalypse?

It's nice!
You started well!
All is nice except one thing:
I don't like his feet!
too small!!! :D :D :D

[Haldir]

Yeah...

You're definately right about the feet, Totitch;)

I'm gonna work on the rest of his body today and prolly post tonight. I just can't make up my mind whether or not I wanna make him a biped(2 legs) or give em some kinda crazy wheeled contraption that he wheels about on.

whattaya think?

Wheels or no wheels? I would prolly give em 3 in a tripod setup if I gave em to him.

P.S. Q-berts a cute lil' bugger ain't he?

[MadS]

I'm liking this model. It's very unique. Is he an alien? The only crit/advice I would give for now is maybe define his arms a bit more. They look a bit non functional, at the moment. But really, it could be left alone. Great work :)

[Haldir]

I'm workin' on the arms right now...

Here a couple of screen grabs:

Aside from starting to define his arms I went ahead and gave em a couple more...Whaddaya think?

Still trying to figure out what I wanna do w/ his lower body...
I was plannin' on spidery robotic legs but somebody already beat me to it...I'll figure it out.

[Haldir]

Well here's my latest update...I'm tired. G'night...

Hi Haldir!

I like very much the big anthenas!!! cool idea!
The tube has very good modelling too.
I think all model is very clean.

I suggest you change the colors. Black and yellow could be fine! He remmember a bee. :)

I saw the envirnoment! I love it! very good! I like very much the queue of the characters, good idea.

Keep working as now and follow the way you did in the environment. I think is the best one.

P.S: I hadn't seen the gif!! very good! I had thougth something combination of colours as you put him. But maybe I would change the blue for other more dramatic... black... gray... I'm not sure. Did you try to use a dirty plugin or something similar.

[Totitch]

The last picture is great!

It makes me imagine stories with this characters...

Good stuff!

A agree with Pabbloz for the colors
And just one critic: Work a bit more on his legs
Its very low-poly and i think they are too long for him...
Try an other way of legs,just to see

Very nice!

[pabbloz]

yes... Totitch is right. I had already thought about the low poly and the length of the legs and I think the same as he.
Maybe some more short and different... could be like the wheels of a tank, you know?. :p
