Had an idea last night of several lithe, petite ballet dancers warming up in a studio; doing that bar thing they're always doing. The twist is that the main ballerina is in fact a 50 year old man. A big, muscley, slightly overweight, hairy, real mans man. In a tutu.
In fact, in my mind the character looks like my dad! This image makes me want to both laugh and cry at the same time. It certainly constitutes strange behaviour. I'll get a sketch knocked up sometime today. Excited about this one. __________________

Concept Sketch or 3D pre-visualization: 3d pre-viz
![]() Here's a quick pre-viz of my initial idea. The pink girls in the back are your regular, slim, elegant ballerinas. The red character is the teacher. The blue monstrosity in the front is a 50 year old, hairy, male ballet dancer, dressed in a girls ballet outfit(including tutu) and performing a pirouette (or something). The teacher is clasping her heart in an 'ever so proud' fashion - despite this guy looking more at home down a mine he's actually been doing ballet for a while and is in fact the star pupil (at least in the eyes of the frumpy, eccentric teacher that is). The other pupils in the class will be looking on with a mixture of amusement, disgust, and pure confusion. Pretty sure that ticks the box for strange behavior. What even more strange is that I'm really excited about modeling a 50 year old man in a tutu... __________________

Thanks guys,
I read once that you should never go with your first idea... But hey, the feedback is positive and I can't think of anything else that makes me chuckle as much, therefore I'm gonna run with it. Anyone seen 'Old School' with Will Ferrel? There's a hilarious scene in it where he has to pass a gym exam by prancing around with one of those with one of those bits of ribbon on stick things - pure comedy and pretty much where I'm coming from with this. Have already made good pregress modelling the old dudes head. Will post shortly. Cheers, Dave __________________

Line Art or Model: Ballerina...
![]() Here's the textured head. Modeled in Max, rendered with Vray. I'm pleased with how this has turned out. I've based the model on my dad - at 6ft 2 and 18 stone, Darcy Bussel he ain't... His neck alone is probably the size of a whole ballerina. Perfect. I'll add proper eyelashes, eyebrows and hair soon. Also looking forward to playing with the spec map and making him sweat... __________________

Simply crazy! This is heading to be one of the most hilarious images of this contest, I'm sure about it. Maybe some other ballerina at the background trying to make the same pose as him(and not getting, of course! rs) could make it even stranger... Don't know, it's great anyway!
![]() Very nice(and fast!) modeling also. Watching this. __________________

Cheers guys,

Not so fast when I tell you I've been virtually flat out on this since yesterday lunch time. Still, I have to admit I am happy with how smoothly it has come together. I've been working on a female character over the last few weeks and for some reason I find males far easier - probably becasue thay are free of the necessity to look attractive. Recently I've been rendering with Mental Ray but decided to give VRay a try and was impressed how quickly I could knock this up. I am 100% converted. Thanks for the posts, Dave __________________
