Living Toons - character - king_mob

[Jhonus]

<krugar> he needs a better pose...... could be good in 3d tho

<krugar> be cool if camera was facing him head on....... so the char was pointing at the viewer

<krugar> maybe i should say that on yoru thread?

<krugar> i mean, maybe i shoud be

<krugar> k?

:beer:

[Pinky_Powers]

That's pretty bloody cool man, but why does he have a Vampire marking on his left hand, as seen in Blade movies? :)

[KingMob]

vampire?!?

no no no man, that's storm shadow from G.I. JOE

:buttrock:

hehe I aint no goth freak...just a child of the 80's!

[Pinky_Powers]

Ah, my mistake. But if you have ever seen any of the blade movies, you would have to agree, the mark is kinda simalor. :)

[dmcgrath]

Those markings, are Chinese, I-Ching. Also similar things on the Korean flag. At least I think so.
BTW, I love the Shorm Shadow guy. Thins ought to come out really nice.

[KingMob]

:buttrock:

see even the blade guys got it from storm shadow:rolleyes:

heh thanks for the comments, should have a pretty bg update soon.

[KingMob]

oooh update time!

ok so not ver far yet. But I wanted to post something.

BTW I know it has lot of strange area, but it's a head...I guess...

lemme know:rolleyes:

[Ingram]

Fellow child of the 80s says "Now I know, and knowing is half the battle."

Great start. Wonderful character. :thumbsup:

[erilaz]

Cool! You can see through your head!:D Great start kingmob! Show us as much progression as possible! And wires!

[Rye]

cool idea, maybe show one pic with the mask and one without? Maybe try to exagurate the features a little more to give it more character. I know thats an early model, but still :) just somethin to think about. I still dont know what my hobby is going to be, I used to be into martial arts...but then i got really lazy. Whoops!

[KingMob]

and more wire frame wise...

I look strange...

very strange

Oh and I don't have any arms, I don't know if I told you guys that.
:rolleyes:

[Rye]

lol i didnt say overwieght....just lazy ;)

[KingMob]

you could be an overweight martial artist?

yeah I plan on adding more character as I go.

Like features I got...more square headed like my sketches (sorry no scanner)

[KingMob]

hehe, I know...I just thnk overweight things are cool.

Like my other guy I am working on!:beer:

[AJ]

I just thnk overweight things are cool.


You're damn right they are!!

:D

[dur23]

I wish i was a ninja! When your done with this you erilaz will have to settle this with a good ol BATTLE!

[KingMob]

battle...



...OF THE NINJA!

god I love dramatic pauses.

[KingMob]

not much of an update, but I am tired now.

I will work more in the morrow.


things to work on

1/2. make me look mroe like me.

1. finish body (hand feet)
2. add clothes stuff...gloves, shoes etc.
3. props, fun fun props.
4.bind-a-roonie
5.be done.

[CobraX]

cool...waiting to see what you actually look like :) hehe

Ninja you drew as one of my favourite G.I Joe...i miss my toys waaahaaaa :cry:

Anyways, i just wanted to tell you to close your zipper...it could be embarassing..(the zipper of your model that is) ;)

Can't wait to see updates.

[KingMob]

well I am going to rework him a bit, er me a bit. cause he is not looking like me to much.

Which sucks, because last night I did a BUNCH of edits and had a good resemblance, then maya crashed as I converted to sub-d's (3 days non stop computer running without restart, it was my own fault :surprised )

anyways I am gonna get some photos of myself and rework the head a bit.

but thanks for the post!

[Dirk_P_Ho]

Ouch, sorry to hear bout that one, yay for restarting! :P

[KingMob]

well, Im not gonna totally restart...just rework heavily.

yeah it sucked, i was just starting to think i didn't totally suck adn then it crashed lol

[KingMob]

ok heres an update..the hair is very temp...but I was sick of being bald.

I dunno I may totally restart :shrug:

[KingMob]

does this suck as bad as I think it does...hehe.

I think I am gonna do a reboot.

[Rye]

I'm not sure how cartoony you are wanting to go, but atm nothing seems exagurated really. The suit doesnt look very ninja-y yet either, But I'm sure you arent finished with it. If you really don't like it, starting with a clean canvas is always the best way for me, but I think you've got a good start here!

[KingMob]

no, I am starting over ina more Johan Vasquez style...I think it will be more fun...I will write this off to experience.

hehe, I am to used to making normal thing...must...think...CARTOONY!

thanks for the nudge

[erilaz]

Great! Vasquez style! No meshsmoothing for you then! (Jhonen doesn't seem to believe in curves all that much!):D

We can have a Vasquez Vs. Anime faceoff!

[KingMob]

hmm well I am not really achieving the vasquez look, but this is my "sketch" in 3d of how I see myself lookin...stressed, bags under my eyes, thinking of making myself as I feel these days...aka a total wreck

(the hot water at my house is broken for the past week, so I have taken only ice cold showers, our fridge is broken and I have no money to buy food, so I am eating peanut butter and jelly only...and one other things that really sucks, but I won;t talk about here) so I want to show what a wreck I feel like...no more ninja either, I can't afford martial arts no more.


This is sub-d but I plan on making much harsher lines as I go...hehe

this should be fun!
:thumbsup:

[Rye]

dude that rocks! MUCH MUCH BETTER! (not that your first one wasnt good ;) ) Keep this style, its perfect!

[KingMob]

thanks man!

yeah i like this a lot better, much more fun. glad I started over.

[Dirk_P_Ho]

ha ha, told you, lookin good man

:buttrock: STARTING OVER :buttrock:

[three]

Right now, I'll have to say that the new face is a whole lot interesting, especially since that small review of your life right now, gave the face a special twist i think [perhaps i recognize myself in it? :p].
I'm looking forward to see what you'll come up with next.

Take care dude, and keep those updates coming. :)
:thumbsup:

[monotypic]

...no more ninja either, I can't afford martial arts no more.

HAHAHAHAa.. i know JUST how you feel.i think i have about 6.45 u.s. dollars in my account at the moment. your 2nd face looks much better... (well... modeling wise) ...other than that i think you just need some good ol fashioned sleep to fix up those bags under your eyes thing.. this will be interesting. **clicks subcribe to thread.

q. have you thought about how you'll render him at all? like an ink and paint material? or just regular shaders?

[KingMob]

6.45 beats me..I got 12 bucks. woohoo! how many chalupah's will that buy me?

hehe.

thanks for allthe comments, here's a small update, I had another maya crash (seems to only happen when I delete edges..odd.)

anyways here I am, far from done.

[rayz]

looks really good.....keep it up! :bounce:

[mtmckinley]

love those insane tired eyes. :)

[KingMob]

"love those insane tired eyes. "

so do the ladies...oooo yeah.

oh wait no they don't...:)

[KingMob]

ooh ooh anothe rupdate, to show more where I am going fwith this...If i had a scanner I would post the concept drawing I did...maybe I should use my friends digital camera, if you want I will ask otherwise, just a quickie.

Hey should I over do the proporations more, make the head bigger?

right now I want the head, hands and feet oversized...

btw that tank lookin thing will be my hat.

[KingMob]

That's nice. Be carefull with the heads size though, you might end up looking like you are a midget. :D

[KingMob]

[lildragon]

I am dumb sometimes, sorry...One day I will learn to read stuff before clicking on the pretty pretty buttons (thanks for fixing that man):p

[KingMob]

[Rye]

Hey i might be taking up that hobby soon!

[KingMob]

I'll keep a fridgerator box warm from ya.

Oh and someone threw out half a sammich...but it's mine, you can have a bite tho.

But only if I can wear your glasses, they are cool.

[Ingram]

I might join you two as well panhandling :scream:

Model looks sweet already. Very cool crazy eyes. Funny hobby... but as long as it's enjoyable, hehehe.
*starts to chant "body, body, body...."

[KingMob]

ok, heres the body...
but I am redoing it to be more robe like, since I love my robe...nothing like a cold shower and a robe...and coffeee...or beer. whatever numbs the pain of real life...

I will also save you a nice cardboard box I found... I got an old blanket to, which I will trade you for your lego man.

it's fun to be crazy and homeless. :buttrock:

http://www.spherefineeyewear.com/jumjum/yeppers.jpg

heh gotta do the robe now.

[monotypic]

HAHAHAHA. that's awesome! i wanna do this challange soooooooooooooooooooooo bad...
hmm... maybe if i can finish up some of my work perhaps.....


ps.. i'll trade you a bobbing sumo wrestler for the half o sammich...

[KingMob]

hmmm OK done and done...one bobbing sumo for a sammich.

waitasec... this is sumo is USED!! eewwwww.

Maybe i can find another sammich in that dumpster.:airguitar

[KingMob]

this time no insane rambling...I swear.

Minor update, still not even close. Trying to get a feel for modeling clothing,it's different. But I don't think anyones want's to see me nekkid and free...(damn I lied about the insane rambling part, sorry)

[Dirk_P_Ho]

Looks great man! :thumbsup:

In the last three days ive modeled a semi, a pickup and a small coupe for my clients project, im tired and all I wanna do write now is goof around with my caracature... oh well

Nice progress, looking forward to an update

[KingMob]

hop to it...you can sleep when your dead man!!!

[Dirk_P_Ho]

Ha Ha, maybe ill get a time to crack open XSI later today, but for now I'm in Maya mode....switching apps takes at least a good half hour for me to get keystrokes down and such.

[TRi-14]

TRi-14

more to come, I started my robe, but I dunno if I like the idea or not.

[mtmckinley]

Great work so far! :D

[Rye]

hey nice sandals! I was thinking it might be cool if you did a shoe with a big hole in it and your toes sticking out? Do you always look so mad ;)? The face totally reminds of a guy i work with.

[Virtuoso]

Just wanted to add my thoughts...........Good job thus far King Mob,looking to msee what's next.:beer:

[KingMob]

hey thanks guys, I should have an update tonight, actually got some work to do today (woohoo, I can eat!)

As for always looking so mad, naw, just when I am awake ;)

I always wear sandles, but I like the idea of the shoe...maybe I should have a mismatched pair of shoes hehe.

I will post a pic of myself so you can see how stylized I went with this thing.

Thanks for the reply's guys (hey that rhymed!)

[KingMob]

hey I probably wont be able to finish this in time...just getting ready to move now and Not sure if I will have time what with holidays and waht not...dang my first challenge I thought I was gonna finish. oh well, always next time!

[Joril]
