Hey-hey,

I hope everyone's well here! It's my shame to say this is the first time I've logged in and posted since I moved to Texas three months ago. It's amazing how time flies. But I'm now working in an animation studio and loving every day of it :) But dang it, do I need something to do on weekends!

To that end, stars have aligned. I've gotten Maya 7 (mostly) cooperating again, and I log in here to find one fun challenge underway. What can I do but jump in, riding the dark-horse steed Inspector Gadget?

Turns out that high res pictures of the show simply don't seem to exist, and the same for model sheets and production art.. So my first order of business will be trying to reverse-engineer some. Here are a few rough sketches from last night; it's a start..

I'll get WIP's going soon!

Congrats for your new job! Great to hear that you are doing fine.

Good luck on the challenge too, that 'leaning against the floor' pose is great :thumbsup:
I'll be keeping an eye here for sure

Welcome back to CGTalk Chris, and indeed you came back during an awesome challenge, full of Threads that at any second without warning will send you reeling in a fit of naustalgia.

I loved inspector gadget when I was a kid (and still do). Your sketches look great and I agree with stage; The pose where he's leaning on the floor is rocks :buttrock:

can't wait to see more.
