Character: Savage Dragon

[oXYnary]

First tri count and pictures of the wires would help.

Also Dont go totally off Larsons drawings (Im a fan also). He does alot of that to emphasize focus in the frame.

If you can find some of the toys, or sculptures, that will be a better reference.

Because now, his feet are way, way too small.

Though I do like his head. Though space the eye a little further apart (1 eye inbetween).

Please give him a 5:00 shadow when you texture him. Dragon always looks cooler this way.

Thanks for the suggestions I will definitely try them out. But in the mean time here is a wireframe of the character before I triangulate him.

The total polys after triangulating is 2918

yeah, his feet are too small.

I love his head and arms though. It has a nice look to it.

Just adding a little update. Wanted to get people's opinions on how the texturing is going so far. Still alot more to go.

The jeans are looking nice! Overall, the creases/folds on the are well done, and the material feels like denim. :beer:

The folds just below the knees feel off, however. There's way too much tension/crinkling, the fabric should drape a little more than that at the knees. Also, you could probably lighten the shadow color on the jeans a little. Not too much, mind you...he should still feel like a gritty, tough-ass hombre.

The shading on the shirt is way too black, try a lighter color for your shadows there as well. I won't comment on the amount of folds on the shirt yet...as the dark shading is distracting me :surprised

I won't comment too much on the anatomical issues of the mesh, having once been a fan of the comic. I will say there's a happy medium that you could find between realistic/cartoony proportions that might improve the model...but that's up to you!

He's looking great, otherwise!

Thanks,
Gary

Nice jeans definitely. I also think you over did the crinkle under the knee though. And for the shirt, probly less dramatic folds would be better. And maybe try a bluish color for the shadows there, often that works better than black for shadows on white material. I don't know the character, but he looks good so far. I think you have some wasted polys in a few places but not too bad. Keep it up.

Looking good Gareth. :buttrock:
