marc_brassard , cg koko: he is waiting for them to kick their ass! he is not a little simple "legionnaire"!he is a great gladiator! famous as maximus !!!!

the head shrunk or what?! his head reminds me of sleepy hollow!! creepy head but the rest are nice

I agree (with funnydoodle) the helmet should be bigger. The character is great, but the helmet is making me not like it as much. It would be a great gag if, when he took the helmet off, his head was really small. I think that would be funny.

The calf muscles look really great, they are the size of his forearms. Muscular proportions like this gladiator are very much like your 2D work. It is great to see you model and draw with similar styles.

Neox : I agree with dmcgrath, it is just a special cartoon proportion! I think it will look less chocking in motion!

funnydoodle: this way the character looks more like an appolon than a normal man, it makes it looks bigger, but maybe it is too exagerated..

dmcgrath: wouaw! thank you for that great compliment!:eek:

NANO, I like to give compliments where compliments are due.

Once again, great job, now lets see some test animations!

I agree with Neox. The calves are waaaaaay to exxagerated,I understand the need for exxageration,but this time a little too much I think. The first thing I see are the calves,just too too much exxageration,they spoil an otherwise decent and fun character.

The chest too is just too exxagerated.They almost look like breasts instead of a man's muscular chest.

The rest looks really cool. A very unique character.Lot's of fun.It's just my thoughts on those calves and chest. Just personal taste. A little tweaking and touching up and some added details and it will be much better.

I hope there will be a face under that helmut,I think with such a character a face with lots of expression is needed.Overall a fine job however, minus the small crits of the calves and chest. Keep going it's promising. :)

ok! ok!
the calves must be too big! and you gonna hit my fingers in seeing this pic
I will consider this crit for the next update, also for the chest!
about doing this character an head, it wasn't plan because I just want to focus on his "body language" ( sound like a jackson 5 song:buttrock: )

looks cool, very Asterix! however the neck seems rather long to me, or at least if the neck is that long then the head needs to be bigger imo.

great character!! i think the calves are one of my favorite parts of the model, so for my vote "don't change them they're awesome!" the part that throws me off is the neck, which i think is either too long or too thick in comparison to the head. the pectorals are a little too round(puffy) which make them look like female breasts. the overall model is very impressive and stlyistic. :thumbsup:

hmmmm....dilem for me about the calves......:shrug:

Kurtzar

11-12-2002, 04:37 AM

It's no real dielema NANONEEN. A couple people and myself think the calves are a bit too large.Nothing too too much. They look good,but just too exxagerated in our minds. But it looks like more like them just like they are.
As for the chest I think just a little down-scaling around the bottom outside ares,just a little. Don't worry too much about it. I only mention anyting because your character does have potential.
KoRn_ART for example really likes it but thinks the toes are a bit flat. I think they are just fine,it's all opinions on smaller matters. But you are close,just some tweaks here and there. It will Be very nice in the end.
Just think about a face that you can see through the mask area,a charater such as this would miss alot of expression in your animation.You should go for the whole thing,body and facial animation.Just my thoughts,it's really quite good overall,fun,I just want it to reach it's full potential,too many times people try for short-cuts. Go for the whole full potential.
Anyways,very nice so far,here is to you.:beer:

it's looking really great... the calves are fine. maybe to remedy the chest, move the shape up a bit, so that it appears more straight out from the neck, sort of raising their cewntre of gravity a bit, they look just a bit like female breasts at teh moment beacuse they look low down on the body... but on the other hand it's something that didn't catch my eye immediately. everything looks really cool. can't wait to see him animated.

Totitch

11-12-2002, 08:11 AM

It's great like that!

Very nice and clean Work Nano! Master of Cartoon! ;)
I really like all about the legs! You already know my critics...
The chest is a little too squarish (Even if it is toon) and the Forarms need a little more work! Except that...All is perfect!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (Like Jules cesar did before! I let you alive nano! :D ...The lion is Sad!)

Is it a WIP? or Is it a Final model?
If it's a wip... UPDATES!!! ;)

I love the detail in the feet and his legs.
In the side view, his hips are foward, don't you?
See you.

yeah:thumbsup:

Great job! :applause:

I don't know how you plan to use the character, but were he to remove his helmet, it could be humorous if his head were larger than the inside of it.

He does give me a claustrophobic feeling, but that's still cool - all part of the character.

Thanks for sharing your work. :)

much like some others have said I think his neck is to long and head slightly small, but the rest of him is great!

not to be mean, but you guys seem to not notice that is the style, his head is ment to be puny with a massive neck...

Ave Nano!

I never though one 3D artist could get so cartoon spirit in a model! :eek:
You really impressed me! Nano! :thumbsup:

It's really really well done,.. all proportions and all... Magnify!
Just maybe the zone from the helmet and the neck is a bit strange for me,.. but I think that gives gim a lot of personality and makes him different from others...
A lot of times I've tried to do characters like this one... because I love this style (it remembers me a lot of Asterix comic, but not asterix, some gladiator of some volume).
You can get some more references in the Hercules draws... there are modelsheets in internet and more stuff and I think is a good idea see them.

But really reallly great job.

Are you making already the weapons?! we want gore! :bounce:

See you Nano!

P.S.: you can also model your lion in 2D... it would fix really great with this spanish gladiator... as the film!! Ahaah! :beer:

good nanoneen, very manly!
so I thought, maybe you could make him a little less manly by adding/changing a couple of features, maybe something like this..

on a second thought, ppl might confuse your model with totitch if you make him look like my 'paintover' of your model.. maybe you should keep it.. it looks more like you as it is now, and that's better than totitch for sure..

:buttrock: noice - as already mentioned, the style's great. Evokes some, as also mentioned, Asterix nostalgia. Personally,
I kinda like your exaggerations/proportions which not everyone seemed to, though to me, his arm joins up with the shoulder kinda awkwardly. There seems to be no triceps on his arms. Can you post a render of the back view? Tho you still should be able to see 'em from the front view, specially with the arms straight out horizontally - the muscle would sag down, even if just a bit.
Someone suggested some animation tests - hehe, get on it! I'd like to see this guy in the colisseum.

PS. any animations, projects in mind with this guy?

:shame:
what have I done to you to make you hate me so much :shrug:

j/k :cool:

my only advice would be to give his hands more 'curves'. they look a little flat as they are now. hard to tell from the small pics though, I might be wrong.

very good modeling nonetheless. hope we'll see him posed and rendered soon!

take care bastard

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Makes me want to do some cartoon character too...

Just a thought: make the visor?? (don't know how to name it, these openings in helmet to be able to see ;) ) glowing red, or maybe glowing alien green, or even better, make color of it depending of his humour: green is happy, yellow-orange is iritated, red is mad for example... that way you don't have to make the face and still can use some facial animation.

waiting for update

wow! a BRAVO for the gladiator Maxinano! :thumbsup:

Really well done!
Just it would be very cool see some render tests to see how the style will be and see if he needs something more or no...:)
But for the moment...I love it... It's one of the characters more cartoon I've seen in aaaall my life! ;)
