I had an idea for a character that would be all muscles and limbs. I tried to mesh a monkey, bird and mosquito together and this is what I came up with. Here is the concept art...

Very interesting concept, i like the idea of meshing the three animals together.

Has possiblities for great movement in animation but has limited emotional cabability.

That is unless you do quite a bit with it's body language.

Keep up the good work.

Yeah, i have high hopes for the animation of the character. his head is going to move really fast. probably from one position to the other in about one frame. i'm also hoping to add some secondary action to the sort of trunk on his faceplate. for emotion, you are right, i'm going to have to use body language, but when he is looking at something the eyepiece scans by a quick beam of light across it.

but try to keep those sharp edges youve drawn. that would be nice and very original. it has personality in that form.

great start...

Nelis, thank you for the crit. It's true that my model started to deviate from my original idea of huge arms contrasted agianst a small body and legs, but i started doing the muscles and didnt want to stop. (ah the sweet nectar of inspiration) You make a good point. I'll try to add a bit of the character from the original sketches.

Started texturing him. The metal head looked good on paper, but now i'm not so sure.

wireframe please. That looks really good so far.. I would like to see some finished textures on him (a little more detail) and maybe some motion tests
