Ok, this is my first challange :buttrock: yey!

Ive only been modeling since xmas, but have been mapping/modding games etc for a few years.

Update

Im trying to work his story out better, and go for a real good pose for him. Also i am thinking of adding a hapless villian, that was bae tengs only real success defeating, like a stupid little world dommination guy that makes alot of noise (so bae teng could find him easily after the loss of his sight, and even his hearing lol). More to come.

:applause:


Story
WIP :wip:

Bae Teng, a old martial arts master who lost his sight at a early age, but learned to use his ears to detect his nmes, only to have them go out as he grew older as well.

When he was younger, he could beat off entire groups of men, but as a old man, he can barely tell who is who and often takes out the good guys helping the nmes escape.

Master Bae Teng (concept)
Here is the first try at him. I cant draw so this is basically my concept, i started with the head and worked from there. Ive redone the Upper Body, and deleted the hands.

Master Bae Teng (progress)

Hey there! If its guidance you ask, then its guidance you shall get! :buttrock: Alright, what I see right off the bat is no concept sketches, meaning what guidelines are you working from? If your a noob, its always good to start off with a sketch of your character... Also start your model off as lite as possible and get the basic form out then start making your details. Your face seems to be a little heavy this early. Try blocking out features first! You can check out principles of how I go about modeling at this address: http://www.sonofthestars.com/how_model.html

Hope this helps!

Messed with him some, added some more on his upper body, messed with head some, new colors :wip:

I dont really know what to do with him :\ Hopefully ill think of something for him, or a new char before its too late :shrug:

I need to go read about animating, i dont even know how to pose him :surprised

Any help on posing, or making hands :annoyed: is appreciated!

I have updated my first post, pics and some more info.

I have also started on the hands again.... i really need help here if anyone has some good ideas or techniques please help!

http://www.clanice.org/~highbros/hands.jpg

All i did was make some cylinder fingers... then a cylinder hand, and deleted some faces and connected each finger to the cylinder, then mesh smoothed it to death. I assume this is a bad way to do it :D

Comments are apreciated, like i said "me noob, need help"

:buttrock:

Probably don't necessarily need to smooth that much. ;)

Most I smooth is maybe a division of 2.

Don't be too discouraged by "noobness." :) We all gotta start somewhere!
