[Totitch]

Waw! Very nice Equinoxx!
With a nose like that, you can smoke under the shower!!! :D
(Ahah! I mock you a little but...Mine is bigger! :hmm: )

Great style! My favorit for the moment! :thumbsup:

[dobermunk]

Bwah! It's just not fair. Why can't I have a nose wothy of so many polygons! :scream:
Seriously groovy! My favorite along with dur23!

[dur23]

HEhe wicked! That is one ginormous schnoz! I would put a smoke in my mouth but thats dangerous when skateboarding:D

[rayz]

[Equinoxx]

So are ya actually a unibrower?!

Ya i'm a uni-brower . . . not as much as in the model, but enough to featurize it ;)

as for an update, working on the poloshirt . . . needs work round the shoulder imo. but it's getting there . . .

http://equinoxx.cgcommunity.com/temp/caricature/wip_03.jpg

[Edge]

Hahahaha, loving the progress....
Striking resemblence! :D

Cheers.

[bored alien]

Man, that's my nose! Are you making fun of my nose??!! lol jk. That's really coming along great. I particularly like the small eyes and the shirt details. :thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: This guy wears my TShirt..and..and heee is smoking my cigarettes!!! hahaha...cool tshirt!!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Ingram]

Dear lord that is a great character :eek:. Modeling is excellent. *Watching very closely*

[ZeroNeuro]

I love it. What can I say? It's great. Has that "Spitting Image" appeal :D

:thumbsup:

Ritchie Roberts
ZeroNeuro Arts Ltd.

[leigh]

LOL that's coming along great ya fabulous skank! :thumbsup:
I see you just had to show everybody that you wear Tommy Hilfiger :p

The only thing that bothers me is the fact that you have made those beard area polys darker, resulting in those straight lines in your "5 o'clock shadow". I'm presuming that is just temporary though....

Cool stuff :D

[OZ]

A M A Z I N G! Lightspeed hi Q. modeling man!!!:beer: WOW

[Equinoxx]

that's cause we aren't allowed to texture for this challenge, but we are allow to use 'solid' colors.
this is the so called 'work-around' ;)

hey Oz, glad to see ya again man :)

[Cgkoko]

hehe....great! What will be your hobby?

[ambient-whisper]

heheheh. here comes the one and only...UNI-BROW MAN!!!

[Equinoxx]

small update on the ahir and added arms including armhair :D

beware of the unibrow man ;)

As for hobby, besides computers [which aren't allowed in this challenge] that would be smoking & Coffee ;)

http://equinoxx.cgcommunity.com/temp/caricature/wip_05.jpg

[leigh]

Hehehe cool :p
You handless wonder, you :D

You really should pose it with one of those super skanky grins of yours...

As for hobies, I guess you'll just have to stick to smoking cos it's difficult to portray a CG character just being a skank.

Hehhe nah, it's easy :) Remember the wolf in the old Looney Tunes (I think) cartoons? The jazzy zoot suit wearing wolf? Hhehe just animate a pimp-walk. :beer:

[ambient-whisper]

looks like you smallerized the unibrow :( im guessing you used meshsmooth ?

[nibo]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
This is GREAT man! HAHAHAAHAAHA
Oh man, I'm almost dying here, from laughing!!!!
Those hairs on his arms....HAHAHAHAAHA
Brilliant!!!
I love this guy, heheheh.

But one thing! WHAT'S UP WITH THE LOGO ON YOUR SHIRT??
That's Edwin's style man, not yours!!
Get rid of that, it's DEF not Yves' style!

Apart from the logo... IT'S GREEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!
:love:

[jeroentje]

You know what I think of it Yves, but let me say it again: this is great work :)

Just two things as positive crit:
*Maybe take another look at the chest. When you move the end of the chest muscle a bit more inwards towards the armpit, you have a better defined shoulderjoint. That muscle roughly runs under your shoulder, not over it.
*When you make the cigs a bit bigger and only put one behind your ear the joke will be beter imho.
But like I said: I love this! Great work :beer:

[Edge]

The progress looks great man ! :thumbsup:
And those hairs...... mwuhahaha, great man.

Cheers.

[Iguiniz.X.]

It must be hard for your character to keep is head from falling forward ^.^"

No inserious I really think you have to do someting with the back of the head cos eaven the earst sticks further backwards then the back of his head

Well further I think it is a nice peace of you.. and als o really fast modeling you have there.

Then if you don't mind I really would like to ask you some help with this challenge so pleas unlock me at MSN so I sometimes can ask you some questions..

Bye:cool:

P.s Show us a real photo of you..:)

[rayz]

coming along very nice!

[Nomolos]

Nice work bro! Just tweak those legs a bit more :surprised :cool:

[ReinS]

Added arms, my rings, a watch and my necklace ;D

http://equinoxx.cgcommunity.com/temp/caricature/wip_06.jpg

[dur23]

[Equinoxx]

Also tweaked the arm & chesthair a little to be a little less obvious

That pimpiness rocked ! :annoyed:

No seriously, damn, you're working fast man !
One crit : I would bring the legs more together.
You look like you have 'O - legs'. (Is that even an expression?).
Or is this a cool Clint Eastwood pose? :rolleyes: Draw those ciggies..... ! :D

But anyways, looking good man !

Keep going.

Cheers.

[nibo]

Much better than that pimpguy you made first!
This is more Yves-style!
Look'n good! Heheh!
Can't wait to let Psychocat, rip this guy apart! MOWAHAHAHAAHA
Now you have to make some HUUUUUUGE shoes!!
Only the hair needs some attention. I guess you noticed.
Anyway...WOOOOOHOOOO:airguitar

Oh yeah, one thing....SLOWDOWN man!! I'm still working on my head, and you're almost finished! Don't you sleep?:surprised

[Nomolos]

The cigarettes behind the ears burn :surprised

[rayz]

the cigs looks soooo cool :thumbsup:

[leigh]

Looking cool, ya pimpin' skankass mofo!

Nice hands :p
LOL that really is a cowboy pose ROFL - do ya feel lucky, huh punk? Huh?
Well, I can't think of anything to say in terms of critting it, because I think it looks great :D

So I'll just post this message so that you'll stop it with those crying smilies in msn :twisted:

Speaking of msn, maybe you should unlock someone so that you can help him out....

[Raul-Reznek]

Hey Yves!
Nice cowboy! LOL!

JK
It's comin along cool dude!

[Equinoxx]

ok ok i can take a hint when one is given.
I need to change the legs. I know hehe
Need to add folds to the pants to, add shoes, add pockets and a fly to the pants too . . .

soon :D

[nibo]

Hmmm...
Maybe a new ad for Marlboro??? :shrug:

[ChrRambow]

hehee Great,

don't smoke too much Cowboy :applause:

[Equinoxx]

Nibo -> ROFLMAO that's some funny shit man . . . but you know damn well i smoke marlboro mediums instead of the real deal ;)
and i NEVER wear cowboy boots . . . :P

Leigh -> hehe :twisted:

Nomolos, nope, they aren't burning, it's just the wrong shade of brown i use for tobaco that makes it appear as if they are.

anyhoo, these boots are made for walking :D

http://equinoxx.cgcommunity.com/temp/caricature/wip_08.jpg

[rolhionjs]

eh eh ! :) Very cool work equinoxx ! coffee+cigarettes ? all the necessary things to be productive ;)

Very nice character :)

[jeroentje]

One of my favorites in the challenge Yves :)

May I suggest to make the hands, and specially the feet bigger? Would give it a more cartoony appearance and it would do good to it I think.

[Equinoxx]

Jeroentje, thx :D and great idea . . .

update . . . added some hairlooking mesh, enlarged the hands and feet [yeah i know, really obvious now that i still need to make ankles ;)]

added a more obvious 'hobby' item too :D

http://equinoxx.cgcommunity.com/temp/caricature/wip_09.jpg

[Clanger]

Fellow coffee addict here, you could have the coffee intraviniously fed.
The larger hands look a big improvement.
This threads becoming the one to watch.

[KingMob]

definetly my favorite challenge, and that's saying something cause there is some GREAT work coming out right now.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: Coffeeeeeee!!!!!......wait i go for cigarettes!!!!

Marlboro lights..yes?


Hey maybe u should put an espresoo machine nearby...!!!!

[dur23]

I'd say you need a much bigger mug than that! Make the mug about 3x bigger. Hehe that will emphasize the love of the bean!

[magicm]

Hey Yves,

Really like it so far, the resemblance is terrifying :thumbsup:

The only point of critic I can come up with are the eyebrowses. Still think they need to be a little bit separated or something. Can't really tell what's wrong, but I'll take a good close look at em next monday.

Martijn

[KingMob]

excuse me if someone asked already, but did you make this in nurbs or sub-d?

[jpoortvliet]

Hey Yves, nice work. :buttrock:

But those tings on your feet are those shoes or 'klompen' ? :surprised

[Solesurvivor]

me thinks the more traditional dutch foot gear :)

[Equinoxx]

Martijn, yeah I know, i'll take a good look myself tonite, but you're welcome to have a better look monday ;)

Kingmob, THX :D and it's sub-d

Jaco, thx, but those are not wooden shoes, there my default stylish sneakers :D

Dimitri, Marlboro Medium please ;)

[OZ]

:eek: OUCH!!!! SPLENDID!!!....ha ha ha ...are u a coffee lover?? ha ha ha mee to....im drinking my "coffeecup" right now! No crits......all is perfect!:buttrock: :wavey:

[three]

Looking cool man :) Love those short arms, i just hope that you've got a couple more inches on 'em iRL :D
And someone that shares the same hobby need encouragement :buttrock:

Rock on.
Cheers
:beer:

[rayz]

[jeroentje]
