Hiya folks,
Well here is a new wip of mine, I just started it after wandering how I would represent myself on a business card. The concept is a thin man in a zoot suit headless, juggling 4 monitors(showing what my minds eye has in it) that's for you ThirdEye_01...
Well this is the start and the concept follows.... C&C are welcome and highly appreciated (if you have any) BTW this is my first actual character model.. Tired of doing enviros and vehicles...

:surprised

well wouldn't ya know it the lightning here in FLorida wipped out the project before I could save some changes. Added again the pants(still not entirely happy) cheap monitors, gloves and boots. Basic texturing for now to give it some effect. Going to add the zoot suit chain later tonight if the lightning stays away and the buttons and fix the shirt. C&C welcome:rolleyes:

I like it...I would say have a look here (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=627216)...not sure what program you're using but this guy makes some pretty good clothing with his method...and i'm sure it can be cross softwared...is that a word or term...probably not...but who cares:thumbsup:

Well the cloth is the geometry and this poor P-2 350 won't run cloth sims, so I have to model the whole thing... Gonna kick some butt on it tonight and see what kinds of crits I get. Getting rid of the color and will post geometry shots w/wirefrmaes to get more ideas from you all....

I would try to make the suit more exhurbent. because it's all that's there you really want to make it stand out. Change colors, pose it real nice, use solid lighting etc. the first thing i would do is use a white b/g when rendering to help "lighten" it.

cheers

try to do the clothes asimetrical..

koinu

Tes my friend the jacket is symetrical for th time ging for I haven't had the time to change the du[plicate to mimic the fold-under side of the jacket. It will become asymetrical when done... Great call..... Had it in the plans already..:bounce:

the colours and the render kinda drop the quality, also perhaps the tie is too perfect.. Keep going show us more!

Add some meaningful images to the monitor screens.

How about one have a large eye, another a large nose, another a large ear, etc..

Or

You could place a photo of yourself in each monitor. Each photo having a different expression. Happy, Surpise, Whacky, Sad, etc..
