Hello everybody!
That's gonna be a funny challenge :) I got an idea imediatly after I read the guidelines :D harr, harr!
The reason why my hero fails is because he can't concentrate on the essentials when seeing a pretty woman. :D What' ya think?
I would have added a sketch but I've borrowed my tablet to Phil... so I'll add the sketch later...
Good luck to everybody! :)

Wow! That's great! You are going to make a charakter! In that case I'll give the tablet back to you of course! (maybe... :p )

I like the idea of yours but he sounds like.. yeah he sounds just like YOU ;)

:) True how true :scream:

Oh yeah, I forgot: He'll have an eternally flowing cape, you know, like there's no wind and nothing but the cape just keeps on flowing and flowing :D That's just cool! A hero needs something like that (if it's only for his ego...)

Sounds like fun. It means you will have to model at least two characters though, the hero and the distracting girl.

unless he just implies the girl.. like put a shadow in a window with big boobs or something..

or a poster with a drawn girl on it.

Hahahaha, I like that idea Coco! He could be distracted by some woman and accidently impale himself on his adamantium claws or something :D

Good luck!

WOW! No image, yet so many replys! Thank you! :beer:

Well, here's a first crappy sketch :scream:
Thou now that I've finished the sketch I don't like the idea behind anymor... Perhaps I'm going to a "real" superhero with weapons and stuff to hurt himself like Wiro suggested :D

Carina: The idea with the shadow is great! I have never before modelled a whole character so it's enough work to make only one... :D

Further, I'll go for a cartoon style character, thou I've still got to work out the toon style... :wip:

enough blabla, here's the pic :blush:

Laugh riot! I especially like the second "portrait" sketch. Thecnically though, you wouldn't have to actually model the woman if it was just for the scene, would he? Its the hero that gets judges not the extra help in the scene, right?

MukMan: Thanks! Actually you're right 'bout only having to model the hero but:
8) has to be posed showing the failure in action
It would be better if I at least would provide a shadow ;)

abyss103: Thanks :beer:

Well, I've started modelling... Perhaps someone recognizes the method I'm trying? I'm talking to you Wiro :D
Well, I know it's not much but it took me some time and now I wanna take a shower...

I'm not sure 'bout his body... should I go for a muscular or a regular body?

Perhaps the crossing-street-idea is not so bad but istead of the truck it would be better to add a drain where the blind man is about to fall into :D

lalala... :)

nah! you just used the toon shader a little early. develop the model a bit more first and it'll look great! love your idea btw.

sicean: You're right, thanks :beer:
I've tested it and the toon shader looks nice once the model gets more complexe.

So what is the name of your hero, and what powers does he usually have when he is not distracted?
