character: The Crow

[mebamonster]

What a fun design! Are you planning on making more characters in this style?

[teh fury]

[lurifrax]

:xtreme:

but shouldn´t the birds body be turned another way? as it is now, the bird's neck is twisted 90° ...

[aenema]

cool :thumbsup: Maybe this will be the next big thing in Japan. goodbye kerope! (or however u spell it :P )

[Michael Chen]

Thanks for the comments and critics :)

I forgot to mention, I just modelled and textured the bird. The original idea of the bird design was not mine. It was originally a 2D image, and I thought it would be fun to create a 3D version of it.

I hope so :)

You're quite right, but I thought it would be a bit more interesting.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :bounce:

ok..lets see ya animate it now hehe

[Michael Chen]

Animating him would be a challenge since I am still a newbie. Thanks for the feedback Geckopunk83.

You've got something here, I could see an illustrated childrens book with this style of characters being a huge hit.

[Michael Chen]

Thanks :)

Children's book, I dunno?

[Sokowa]

Very cute bird. I got a cockateil you can borrow if you wanna do another bird. :)

We almost have the same names too!

[Entangle]

Now if that design was in vector format, it would make an awesome logo.

[sonix]

Cool bird, as far as animating him, I think you will only need 7 bones at the most, so it shouldn't be that difficult for you.

Your avatar's bust, it give me a headache.:surprised

Sonix.

[HellsAngel]

nice style.....hope to see some kinda animation soon.

[Michael Chen]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

I'll try to change my avatar some time this week (if I can come up with a better one).:D

[baby]

pretty cool !!!

[Michael Chen]

Thanks.

"baby" Your avatar's pretty similar to mine (flashy)

[Michael Chen]

I'm new to animation. How do I control the whole bird with 7 bones? Can you give me a brief explanation?

Does that include the wing and tail?

[lmc]

Cool, i like the design even its simple, but simple and nice....

:applause:

MORE?!

[Michael Chen]

Thanks. I'm currently working on more simple models like this.

But note this bird wasn't my idea, I just modelled it.

[eddy-3ddy]

:airguitar Nice thing... irritating avatar...:p

[slaughters]

Nice style on the bird Rukuwa, but I'm afraid that the flashing GIF you use for your icon/avatar is about to cause me to go into an epileptic fit.

My lawyers will be contacting you shortly :)

[Turbonium]

totally kickin! what did you use to make it?

[Gremlin]

I like it so much...LOL, so simple and yet so incredably hilarious! I wanna see a flock of them fly with high-pitched screams, and flying into things....LOL, similar to the bird scene in "the core"

Cheers,
:beer:

[santiago]

:beer: i love it

[zkanal]

Looks nice ,but difficult to animate.
I think would make a nice logo maybe?

:surprised

[VoodooB]

[M.Rogne]
