Cool beans! I take it it supposed to be a guy? Do you have a more smoothed out render of it?

In my humble opinion I think the nose can be a tad bit narrower, unless you're aiming for bulky looking guy.

I'm looking forward to this progress, as it's similar to what I'm doing. (Well sorta.)

[Ech0]

yea ill post some more smoothed versions and work on the nose

[Ech0]

enjoy

[bigbad]

Add a forehead. He looks neandertalish. Work on the nose too.

:wip:

[Ech0]

ill work it some more but rember this is stylize some its almost realistics hes a forrest guy so he will look not completely chizzled but ill work on the nose and add some forehead

[FrizzyCube]

You know.. I kinda like the way he's turning out really. Especially since this is a stylized sort of work. Do you have any rough sketches or 2d drawings you normally do?

[DZL]

i like the style - if he's a forrest guy, it looks like you're going in the right direction - has some similarities to the eskimo modeling in "ice age". lets see some updates!

[Ech0]

here ya go keep it coming guys

[Ech0]

ok i redid the blindfold from before instead I shift copied out the polygons around the eye in order to get the same features around the eye

[BiTMAP]

perhaps model the folded cloth sepreatly, becuase its not supposed to follow the features of the face that much... a good example would be:This guy (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55657) Go check a looksi.

[Ech0]

that really helps ill make those changes and re work the blind fold

[Ech0]

ok i took bitmaps advice heres what i have so far but question how do i model in those folds is it just more cut pushing and pulling or something else

tell me what ya think so far

hands there big :)

[Ech0]

i need feed back but no one responds what i got do here

[hypercube]

I'm all for the exaggeration, should be cool when animated as well. The head is looking good and on-concept.

Seems like model-wise you're getting some very strange pinches and creasing in places though..plus there are sort of abrupt transitions between the exaggerated scales..ie the ankles don't flow into the feet, and the shoulders and chest seem to become instantly massive on top of the waist. I think it would help the 'flow' of the character to work on that. The thread is long gone I think, but there was a superhero character Stipen did a while back that had a great balance with a tiny body and large extremities..maybe can find it on his site. The superhero challenge is also a good read for exaggerated but balanced forms.

I think aside from that, an unsmoothed wireframe would help much more as far as looking at modeling issues, it's a bit confusing to mentally backwards-engineer from the smoothed version.

I have no idea about the replies thing, but it is a lot to deal with and hard for everyone to reply all the time. Sometimes too I'll find myself reading along a thread watching the progress and not realize no one's replied yet. :hmm:

At any rate, never give up, never surrender :beer:

[Ech0]

i love stipens work along with fellahs there my inspiration along with pabaloz (spelling) cool thanks more to come
