Hi Guys. At least I'm finishing this character and not looking for "great, nice sweet" or comments like that. I'm looking for comments to improve him, so please take a time and think what and how make him look better. Thanks.http://www.dreamtalks.org/cgtalk/groofposes.jpg

fix the chest area..its not right

ear pircing i mean the ear ring should be put more convincingly.....

tyre should be squased....

dont extrude the elbow that much


but i like the overall idea of the character.....

pretty darn cool if u ask me.

hey, do the Nostrils deform like the eyebrows? i see a little. but thats cause of the long expression.

have you thought about giving him some bump...

everything is all smooth no differing tactileness.... i think it would really add to his "alive" factor if he had indications of wrinkles and stuff, and some tire treds too.

maybe just paint the texture if u dont wanna use bumpmaps.

In addition to what's been already said, good textures would really bring him to life. And I'd personally be more interested in this character if his arms were longer and were used to balance himself on the wheel. maybe some worn gloves can help showing that he's over worked them as breaks! good work regardless. ;-D

Thanks for comments men. I think I've got right comments for improve him.

phoenix: You right about elbow and tire. The chest are strange I know, but I've try give him more tiny and ofcourse different look.

Jerkazoid: I'm always a littlebit afraid use bumps, I don't know why, but sure you right don't make him so smooth looking skin .. yeap.

My girl becomed sorry for him
She was asked me: where is he legs?
Sorry
But this idea is good for me. Agree about the elbows. May be little bump on the tyre?
What the software do you use for that? To see the mesh will be interesting.
