This is a character ive had in my mind for a long time this is actually the 3rd attempt at modeling this character and this one is the best by far.
characters name is Session a streetwise graffiti artist in a alternate futuristic city
he has a backpack he invented himself that despences spraypaint cans for him to paint and also contains a mp3 player that transmits songs to his wireless headphones

Session is going to be fully textured, rigged and animated for my school demo reel

This is a quick render of the character. texturing is almost done all thats left is the backpack i finished the headphones and i got set driven keys for the backpack to have little robotic arms that will extend and release paint cans.

Nice character, i'd work a bit on his lips though, and definately keep the eyebrows! Keep on going

Thank you MrWaRrDoG! i should work more on the lips i never though of that.
and as the eyebrows go classmates including a couple teachers of mine that work in the industry felt that his eyebrows gave him a werid almost villian or criminal look so im still 50/50 on that i am thinking of just having the eyebrow area of skin pulled out for an exaggerated feel. this is kind of important part of him hence why im taking to much time to decide because his mouth is small and altho is there will show little emotion its his eyes and eyebrows that will sell allt eh facial expressions such as squinting eyes or raised eyebrow look and so on.

I Also have here his offical logo and calling card in the animation ill prolly have him roll up a big poster on the side of the street with this logo on it.

No updates for awhile in the middle of animation he's pretty much going to press the green button on the strap of his backpack 2 robotic arms extends dropping cans of paint and he catches them swings it forward and spins the cans in his hands kinda like an old western pulling out the pistol's and spinning them haha it'll be cool:thumbsup:
