WIP: Green Alien

[TuLe]

Nice... I dig your style man!
Nice expression too!

You should check toes eyes border though!
It seem there's a lack of polys there. Increase it or make one more crease under it...

Let's see'en completed. Body, ray-guns and all...

[innervision961]

I like him! a lot of character in this guy keep up the good work, and post the finished!:thumbsup:

[AmnesicElephant]

Thanks, TuLe, I see what you mean about the eyes. I did a bit of re-working in that general area.

Now to get to work on da body :D (then ray gun)

[soneone]

So, here's what I have so far for the body. I'm going for a kind of tall, thin alien but he's gonna have really big hands and feet (always comical, no?)

[Sylfurd]

Really good !! I like it a lot!!
continue that work!! :thumbsup:

[TuLe]

Nice body start there...
I like the shape of it. It kinda reminds me the Alien being from the Clone wars...

Also make the hands and elbow big, very comic style. Some more musculature would make it nicier too...

Keep it up man!

Also have a look at my fighter and see the updates. I think i`m getting better at anatomy. Please take a look and tell me what you think AmnesicElephant!

CYA!

[Obraxis]

Good goign there .

This is just a personal opinion, but I dont like his arms. They just dont suit the character.

I would make each arm the length of his main body - and kinda thin spidley arms with his joints slightly larger than his thin arms. I think that would suit him well.

Just a personal opinion. Love the eyes - u should be able to get lots of emotion out of him. :)

[AmnesicElephant]

Thinned the biceps a bit and thickened the forearm.

Added some detail to the hands as well

[AmnesicElephant]

Ok, based on feedback from some friends, I've altered the arm's shape a little bit. Let me know what you think:

[p0lym0rph]

verry cool i love the expression:bounce:

[wgreenlee1]

Cool!


Any wires?...looks pretty simple so far.

[Obraxis]

Much better with the arms and elbows - but now the hands look disproportionaly large.

U can either fix it by altering the huge palm of the hand into something shorter, so that he has huge hands, or you can shrink the hands to something small to suite the arms.

Getting there :)

[AmnesicElephant]

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_body3.jpg

Still working on the legs/feet, but that's about the basic shape.

[AmnesicElephant]

Come on, people! Need some feed back here! :bounce:

erm... please! :D

[Obraxis]

Just my opinon, but his arms and legs dont fit the style of how you built his body. Looks nice, but strange.

[AmnesicElephant]

Well, he's an alien, he's supposed to look strange... I personally think it works... but then again I am looking at it through a mother's eyes (er... father I guess)

[koinu]

Ummm. is there a blue print for alienz??? I think not... :scream: Love the style and just have to say that sometimes simple is best..... Woot out to all the alienz out there that are saying heyu we don't lok like that ..HARDYHARHAR:D

[LucentDreams]

Really nice model, I really like the style, I guess Obraxis is just not used to this type of style or at least in 3D, I know a lot of peple who draw like this Really great style AE. My one crit is the bottom of the feet, I think they hsould be alittle flatter, right now it looks like he could rock from side to side when standing on one foot.

cool stuff

[Obraxis]

Yeah - im not used to that kind of style. He must have strong elbows to keep those arms up tho ;)

[LucentDreams]

bugs bunny must have strong knees to support his body, its cartoony not realistic. http://cgi.third-era.com/~kaiskai/stills/3d/jpgs/moose3d.jpg its a common style to have largh calves and for arms, ever heard of popeye?

[Remi]

Great cartoony character....really like him alot and I think the proportions are up to you...it looks great. Nice job...but I guess he won't be doing any dialog animations...hehe...telepathic I assume...:thumbsup: :D

[AmnesicElephant]

Well, you know, look at Marvin the Martian. He doen't have a mouth... or a face for that matter... I don't know... If I did do dialog animation I wouldn't have to worry about lip-synch!!! HURRAY!!!

Oh, and for the people asking for wire-frames, here's the poly, pre-Hyper NURBS:
http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_body_wire.jpg

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_head_wire.jpg

It's all messed up around the sholders and neck because of the Lathe NURB I used for the shape... didn't know how to lower the polys around curvy parts... Something I need to figure out...

[Remi]

lip sync is half the fun...but he still looks cool to me....:thumbsup:

[AmnesicElephant]

Ok, I THINK he's done... Unless someone sees something worth changing...

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_final.jpg

Now I have to bone him... *giggle* oh, I never tire of that one...

[Kartoffel]

Very good, but I don't like his feet.
You should try to get rid of a human-like-foot and cut his toes.
Or maybe two big toes (like his fingers)

[koinu]

It's CHER as an alien, I have to agree with Kartoffel about the feet. Not sure if they are quite right, your model not mine though....:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Change the texture map some to make it look like it has more shadows in the right areas...And possible a good bump map

[AmnesicElephant]

Yeah, I'd agree about the feet. Give him two toes should look good. Yeah, havn't added texture or bump maps yet. I guess that'd be next.

[AmnesicElephant]

Hehe, gave him camel toes...

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/Alien_body_feet.jpg

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/Alien_feet.jpg

[AmnesicElephant]

What, don't like the feet? Comment please! PWEEEEEEEE*breath*EEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!

[Anuxinamoon]

hey nice! u know how to werk ur program good, i hate nubs... they r evil but u seem to use them well.
i just have one problem... he has no forearms and no wrist... i dunno.. but he still looks cool.... and hes green :D thast the main part :)

[LucentDreams]

just an opinion here on the new toes, the outside toes looks ok, but theinside to is kinf of straight and sharp, I"d try to shape it with a similar curve as the outside one.

[AmnesicElephant]

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_textured.jpg

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_textured2.jpg

Preliminary texture job... Let me know what you think!

[LucentDreams]

looking good so far, if he's going to have the large spots on the head, he'll need the brown elsewhere o the body, perhaps like small areas of freckles on the arms or something.

[Mobra]

hey!!

I realy like its body and face design!! The animation process looks that will flows nicely! But... May I tell you something?.. I prefer the older feet design.. But its a personal opinion!! Right?!


see you!!

[AmnesicElephant]

http://www.slydevilstudios.com/storage/alien_textured3.jpg

Little update. Spots weren't working so I took them out all together. Gave him ribs, too. Hope you all like :D

[Joril]

The perfect model for all kinds of animations!! :D
I kinda liked the spots, it broke up the surface a bit. Maybe you'd want the spots to be les visible. Maybe just some darker shade of green might do the trick.

[LucentDreams]

ribs and stuff look great, but I do think the spot was helpign you out man, Joril's idea of using jsut darker green for the spots, so the still break up the c haracter alitle, but are so obvious might work, personally I liked the brown spots. The advantage the spots has was making things uneven.

[koinu]

Looking real tight, cleaner render maybe???:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
