#23

hehehe-saw your entry for the first time now-and i’m pretty impressed! :smiley: i really like it. what you could improve are the fingers-they look a bit to straight right now as i think.:shrug:


#24

Well Im about 1/3 of the way through the final character!
Hair, Finger-nails and the Rope are ready and will be added
to the character below near the end…

:love: …Just fantastic…spot on perfect concept, and the CG is just as nice already. Very original look and design as well. I love the characters, very in-depth and fun. A bit contrasting to one another, but that’s what will make it extra fun and double good.

                   This is one of the best in a very good field thus far.I am looking forward to more, keep it up.Very nice..........:applause: :)

On closer inspection, it was revealed to me that you are one mighty fine modeller. Beautiful.

Top notch, totally spot on, and so very fun and original. Such a very smooth and in-depth feel to it all…I think I cannot express the words on how much I enjoy your creations…excellent…Oh how I would love to see them run free in my multi-million poly sets…

Drongo man, those models are absolutly incredable. That is some of the best character modeling I have ever seen. (makes me want to go back and start my crappy cowboy over) Really fantastic work so far. I can’t say how good I think this work is. Really awesome! :thumbsup:


#35

Interesting concept. I will very much like to see it finshed. Much props.:beer:


#36

I´m VERY impressed by your work - no critz at all!! - this is a fine piece of ART!
:thumbsup: :buttrock: :love:


#37

Well I got the other character finished…
The image below is just from a couple of TEST renders…
So will be adding more over the coming days, untill I get one that Im happy with…

Just to note… I had added Hair to the models, (as seen in the sketches) However it looked a little too ‘cosmetic’ for the purpose of this challenge…with the focus being modeling…

So…more detailed images to come…including wireframes etc…


#38

I love it! I love it! I love it! I want to see MORE!!!


#39
