digital_rhino 07-13-2003, 04:46 AM Hey all. I just want to get some feedback on this character I've been workng on here and there. It's a model of albert the alligator...the mascot for the university of florida. the gators rule by the way!:buttrock: Just though I'd throw that in there.
Anyways, this is kind of an important model to me, so please crit it, and don't hold back if you don't like something about it. Thanks all!:)

Hey Rhino...great start man:thumbsup:
If I had to crit something I'd say his forarms are a bit big...and the shoes dont look done.
Can we see a close up of the head? How bout some wireframes?
Keep up the good work:buttrock:
(something to that effect guys):)

Rhino: thanks man. Actually, I was going for the exagerated forearms...I actually think they need to be a bit bigger. The shoes arent done yet...its just a quick smooth to show you guys for crits.
I'll try to post a closeup like you asked...adn also maybe some wires.
Thanks for the Crit!:D

oh....my.....a schizo :surprised:
i like it :) he's shaped right, tho the pants could use some work. the padding on the the legs just looks like bumps now.. the chest and abs could use a little more definition too. the chest seems a little small. overall he could use some sharper lines; the details are there but they're hard to see.

**and the angels sang as DrakeX began to speak**
Thanks a million bud....and your absolutely right. He still needs a lot of work. I see my own stuff everyday...and most of the time I can't see the flaws...thats why I need others.
The padding was kind of a pain in the a$$ to do...and I really don't lke the result. I'll add more stitching and things to add detail. The abs and chest will be hidden(except for maybe the lower abs). He'll be in full pads.
I need to add an image of the head...I think it came out real nice.
Again thanks for the crit DrakeX:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It's looking pretty good rhino
If I could make a suggestion (and you don't have to take it if you don't want to)
I think that if you could find some way to change the body anatomy alittle bit to bring out some more aligator in the character, it would really help kick his design up a notch.
It looks kinda like a muscle man with an aligator head and tail stuck on, but if the arms or the body (or both) displayed some more crocidilian characteristics it would make the head and body go together a little better. I'm not saying make it a sraight out aligator, I'm just saying play around with aligator anatomy and try to fuse it with human anatomy.:shrug:
hope that made sense

I see what your saying Unicron...and he will have the gator like scales and things. I'm going to adjust the abs to create that underbelly plate effect that gators have. But for the most part I want him to take on a human style. I'm kind of looking to create a cross between a player and the mascot.
Thanks for the crit:D
