Look promissing Mrmark ! Love this concept !

[erilaz]

I like the chan-like style you're trying! Paintbrush is brilliant!:D

[mrmark]

hey thanks P.Delapouite and erilaz!!

turns out its not called d-form, its called chibi.

hes some chibi characters some guy/girl drew
i dont know whether i will adopt a total anime style for this image, maybe just proportions like the hobbit guy

[mrmark]

the hobbit guy's image

i love this style

[tobyWong]

Ha! The concept reminds me of the guy bainting on the street with the giant brush in akira.

It'll be cool to see the chibi style, espesially if it looks like the last picture you posted. (or is that yours? I wasn't sure...)


Peace

[mrmark]

[mrmark]

a little update

[mrmark]

im feeling happier about the head right now

[Soeren Nielsen]

Its looking good MrMark, lets get a body for the head, or heads will be rolling ;)

Only thing is the ear, it needs some work IMO

[mrmark]

a lil bit of skin
thanks for your kind words Soeren

[dies-irae]

nice one!
in order to make a bit more resemblant to our dear yourself, you should make the cheekbone larger and rounder ( and i'd shrink a bit the cheeks, they're too wide. The eyes should be rounder...

for the body, make the neck way smaller (make it in proportion with the rest of the body and make only the head cartoon-big...
the arms are a bit too long...

it can become a truly great model! keep posting!!!!

[mrmark]

hey thanks for your kind words dies-irae!! :) with the extra time we get i will finish the clothes then take your advice to the head! :)

here are some draft pants

[mrmark]

woah! my shoes! chibied! (add that to the cg vocab section)

edit: ps note better pants


edit2: the nike tick is not miine, its nike's lol

[Stevie]

I'm an eastern suburbs boy! :buttrock: right near botany cemetery, that may explain my hatred for sun light... hisssss :scream:

Your model kicks @ss! :shrug:

I like your pants... your chest area needs a bit of work, but i guess your gonna give him a shirt or something eh?

anyway... :buttrock:

[mrmark]

hey cool! do u know where orica is? coz my dad works there!

and yup hes gonna have a shirt, well he has a shirt and i have a render ready to be posted but photoshop is being gay

thanks heaps!

my friend cropped it for me, what a top bloke :)

awesome

[Stevie]

Yeah i know where orica is, kewl:bounce:

I like it alot... nice...

I hope photoshop gets of it's @ss and starts to pull its weight for ya.

your sleeve is a bit fuzzy.

how long have you been modelling and stuff?:airguitar

[mrmark]

hey thanks!!:D
dont worry i whipped fotoshop into line
i do need to do a lot more work on the shirt, all in good time i spose

ive been using max for about a year and a half i guess

---

should i add more detail to the pants, like more creases and 'flab rolls' or should i leave them as the cartoony simple ones i have now?

here are some eyes

[mrmark]

pants picutre

[arjun]

Sorry a million if it was posted and I missed it above. What type of modelling did you use for your head? Box modelling or whatever? Or what? Thanks :beer:

[mrmark]

i used wiro's box modelling technique, god bless him

[mrmark]

hey everyone
its come to my attention that my final image is considered distasteful:shame: which is a bad thing, coz i dont want ppl to pass judgement upon me based upon an image.
as soon as the opportunity becomes available i will post a new picture of my chibi, a tasteful one.

thanks

and once again im really sorry about it
