Hey man, both characters look very cool. Good modeling and also very nice textures. I don't know which one I like better...the robot...or...the alien guy...or...mmmmh???:shrug:

[shoey]

Great work, love the robot, great textures and lighting too! :bounce:

[Hyperman]

the robot is great but the char is better than the robot !:thumbsup: :thumbsup: love the skin !! (and the big hands)very cool char:airguitar

[JaKaL]

Both Characters are Brilliant! Great Job!:buttrock: :beer: :thumbsup:

[That Adrian Guy]

I love the lighting and the character these models have!

Any plans on animating them!?

[draconix]

I like these characters. Very goofy yet believable for the alian thingy, very realistic yet very fantasy for the robot. The textures are very good. I also like the large limbs and head. Am interested in seeing these animated. Do you have the craft they pilot? if not, do you plan on building it?

[Nightwing]

Excellent work :thumbsup:

I really love the robot, and stylistically the characters are nice 'n unique. I'm also curious to see an animation, but what I'm really keen to see is the ship, or environment for these two....are you going to build/post one?

Cheers

[isome]

sweetness...pure, sugary, polygonal sweetness...lighting rocks, textures, too...

[pOiNtPuShEr]

Great job on both Chars!

One question: I don't know what the robot needs to do, but the fingers look like there are some pretty tight tolerances at the knuckles (unless the whole finger deforms)...


I LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEE the second guy. Great nails modeled right in to the hand, and I like the overall shape of the hands and fingers (kind of reminds me of kimpossible or similar styled hands...) Great work! Keep it going!!!

[dmcgrath]

Really nice modeling and texturing. Very "Aardman" inspired look, I can't wait to see to animations.

[RockinAkin]

Awesome work Squid!

I love the color scheme and lighting you used for the robot.
Your style always impresses me.

And BTW, your design and composition layout is always fantastic.

Keep up the great work,
-DivideByZero-

[Eman597]

;) I must say this is some impressive character work!

[Tylak]

I love them! now give them guns and have them shoot each other.... oh wait, that what all of my characters do... nevermind....

[stickyblue]

this is really awesome !! i loved the style so much

[BiGiNnEr]

WaO Man U have Done An AWSOme Job Love The RoBot.. That RoBot Is the ShissNeezzz :D I give IT :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Will We Be Seen Any Animation SooN? Hope So.:beer: ;) SaLud

[lmc]

Overall is very good.....not bad baby :applause: :thumbsup:

i like ur design much....

[dbach]

I like the overall design and modeling but the rusting in your textures seems realy even, maby consider what he will be doing and place the rust accordingly.

[shaangfx]

superb!
u r real hard wrkin and with good design sense!
i loved ur web site too!
:bounce: :scream: :thumbsup:

[Labuzz]

[d4rk]

DUDE THOS CHARACTERS ROCK!!!

I TOTALLY LOVE THE ROBOT, He IS SOOOoooOO COOL! I really like your style, I like the way you do hands. Keep showing us more stuff and keep up the good work.

:applause:

[Avitron]

I really like your alien guy; he looks like a fun character to animate. Great stuff :applause:

[ytrabbit]

Both chars are great, but my fav is the 'bot!

I would really like to see what you do with them....an animation, perhaps?:rolleyes:

[augustus]

Both are cool. I realy like robo-guy.:thumbsup:

this is one of those long drawn out projects so I'll be adding bits and pieces over a few months, my original idea was to have a scene in something like an intergalactic airport but with these characters and a couple of others as the main focus of the image, I might also do some animating if I can figure out how to use cinema 4d's animation tools effectively.

and front page promotion!!, that rocks, who do I have to thank for that?? :beer: :thumbsup:

[Daveaustin]

v v nice modeling n texturing you got going on :thumbsup: I remember seein these a while ago... and they've only just resurfaced !:surprised

just wondering.. about the dents n chips on the robot... were they bump maps? or did you painstakingly incorporate them into the mesh?

either way they work really well, and i can completely picture the space port now, [i'm imagining a cross between the main entrance in monsters inc.. and an airport] plenty of indiscreet 'monsters/aliens' wandering around.. with suitcases :buttrock:

keep the updates a coming

[ga-analytics]

hey squidinc, spicy characters - the robot with this big unhandy hands, the alien with this slightly stupid and jocosely look.

Could become a good crew.

p.S. Do you remember the game Z with its odd "space marshalls ... :)

[xasteycracker]

Hey squidinc,
the models looks great i really like the texture on them and i also like the way the alien is modeled very clean mesh. Great work
:buttrock: :applause:

[stephen2002]

good work. At first I was wondering why the robot had such huge hands and feet, and after seeing the alien that he is helping out I see why. They match well.

[medula]

squid,

Congrats on the front page! Wahooo! Keep cranking out the awesome work! :applause:

[ThirdEye]

Congratulations for the front page Squid, you certainly deserved it :thumbsup:

[Slurry]

Squid,

Great style.
Textures are very good for the metallic parts but the alien's skin seems to have been given less attention. Perhaps more blemishes and surface texture would add to it?
Also, the alien's fingernails should perhaps have a different texture, to make them look more shiny and hard. Right now they blend into the skin of the hand.

Is this a personal project? Do you plan to make it as a short or something longer?

Very cool. I look forward to seeing more! :wavey:

[DeathCarrot]

wahay, great work squid! :bounce:
congrats on getting to the front page, I hope you get the craft/scene finished asap :thumbsup: :wip:

[John Lee]

hey man very nice work. Exellent looking characters and look really nice to animate with!

p.s if you you don't animate them i will hehehe:)))

John Lee

[proton]

Killer work! show us more:bounce:

[aspiretek]

im totally diggin' it.... I like the mesh, it's very well crafted and the colors and over style are great too....:beer:

only thing i noticed right off the bat is that the metal is looking a bit like plastic... I think some additional specular level maps would help break up the mostly even highlights and shading.

top quality work:thumbsup:

[boxcrash]

Wow.:eek:

I love your style, very nice.:thumbsup:

[Maximillion]

:beer: cheers,
Simple, sweet, and nice metal textures.
Often simplicity is harder then complexity as there's nothing to distract the eye from the shape, and less curves mean each one becomes more important and relevent.
The skin on the green guy doesn't live up to the texture of his armour, mostly due to the lack of variation of colour. But I have to say I like the concept of having detailed parts backed up by simplicity on other levels.
Great Job!:thumbsup:

[Frinsklen]

wow, really great, I specially like the textures.

my only crit here is for he second pic... the pose doesn't look natural, and there's a big contrast between the detail of the skin textures, and the textures on his armor or whatever it is.

:thumbsup:

[Nima-3dman]

Really nice texturing,I like it...

[maestro]

I really like the way that the textures look worn, like they've been in the field or something. Can we see the texture maps? I'd really like to know what you did to make the dirt look like that. Very good!!!

I'm pretty sure these are procedurals, squid normally doesn't paint his own (hopefully you dont mind me answering for you squid, and correct me if im wrong :p )

[lil' rothko]

Excellent characters.:beer:

I really love the metal textures.:applause:

[MrBraun]

Great model !!! :bounce:
Great image on your site too !!!! :applause: :applause:
Well well done !!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

yup, all procedurals :)
I own the bodypaint module for C4D so I really should paint my own or at least add scratches and dust etc.., just haven't had the time to sit and read through the manual

[MAXer3D]

WOW
I love the robot!!
5 stars
:drool:

[JONO]

great work
i love it to bits.

the style in which you have designed these characters is wonderful.
i strive to be like you.be my master jedi !
