I will add more in a couple days (I made tones of characters for this game)
let me know what you think. ( i have plenty of time right now to make changes.) Thanks

[rockyj123]

its good to c some of your work from backbone finally... really interesting characters...
like the grave digger....
i'd like to see the 2nd character from your personal work textured....

[Dekker3D]

is that robo in your avatar? that's awesome!

i've gotta say, those are some cool characters. i.. dislike what you've done to poor zero though. those shoulderpads and that face aren't exactly how we all know him. he's usually got very simplistic shoulderpads that'd protect his shoulder area, and a young face (though animé will do that to ya)

[ninjastickman]

Great character and texture work, very distinctive!

[sin3d]

You rock Chris!

[cholbrow]

Thanks All

Dekker3D: ya I wanted to get away from the anime look. I think I see Megaman differently then most people. If you think about it he is an out dated model, (80 years out of date) reprogrammed to go around killing innocent looking worker robots. In the game you are armed to the teeth. Your opponents only have pick axes, screw drivers and so forth. I figure the robot slaves have rebelled and Megaman (+ Zero) are made to crush the resistance.

Here are all the heads I modeled for the game. (monster heads anyway) Once again Beth Dewhirst did the textures, which really sell these low rez models. The Crystal head at the bottom was textured by Stephen Pearce.

They are less then 900 tris and have a single 512 texture. (in game they have a 256 + spec and glow maps)

Excelent work cholbrow

I really like your model and textures

I want to see more :cool: :drool:

[SINII]

You rock, excelent use of textures over geometry, I like a lot your toon style :)

[caseofchill]

Love the toon heads. Lots of style and personality on a poly budget.

[joetainment]

I really like the styles on those characters. Your own take on Zero/Protoman is particularly interesting. Really nice work all around.

[JeeVz]

Your work is very nice and very inspirational

[Pixel-Masher]

Chris dude,

nice work man, i love the style of the monster lab suff. the silhouettes of the models for ML are great, nice variation and style. the texture work is ace by beth as well.

I told you already what i think of zero on msn, but again, looks awesome, you should post a closeup of the face.

cheers,
Tim

[bendal]

hey Chris,

Nice work man. I really like the latest head shots you added. Hopefully we will get to see some high poly models and normal maps on your personal soon. I think your Warhammer character could have benefited from that.

Keep up the good work,

Fernando

[sagleon]

Lovely work you've posted here. Your texturing skills are amazing!

[Spex84]

Wow, these models just _ooze_ style. Great proportions and lighting--they almost look like 2D art with the thin rim lighting you've used.
Bummer about Backbone--have any other studios in Vancouver closed recently?

[cholbrow]

Robot Revolutionaries. Each is about 3000 Tris with one 512 texture
To save money and time we used Mable Chan's Robot Kid model as a base with Kim Sawula's texture.
