HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: Jonny Quest

#1

I’m going for Jonny Quest on this one! Still haven’t figured out if I want to go for a realistic of action figure type yet.

#2

It’s on!
Heres my first WIP picture.
I try not to follow a standard modelling technique to make it more funny to work with, and to see if I learn something new all the time.

Even though it’s not much yet, crits and comments are welcome!

#3

I like your style of modeling. I also work like that. Work out the important edge rings and then connect them afterwards. Box modeling is beyond me.

look forward to seeing more.

#4

Thank you RageOfAges, I tried the box modeling in the start, but I never got used to it.

Here is a little update. Boy is this challenge a cool one, nice pick Roberto.

#5

Nice. You might want to add a row of polys between the lower lip and the chin area, or retopologize the row under the lip to avoid shading issues and poles. Also you have a strange ring around the eye. You should address this early on so that it doesn’t become a bigger problem when you have more geometry.

Keep it up

Thanks again RageOfAges, yeah, I didn’t notice the eye issue, I will have to work on that.

Here is a little test render with a picture projected on the model from the front.

Looking great so far, can’t say I’ve heard of this character but already he has character with the big hair :slight_smile:

#14

Johnny Quest was most memorable to me because people actually died in the show. .:gasp:. It was quite gritty is some aspects.

Johhny’s looking good so far.

#15

RageOfAges Thanks alot man

wev Thank you

samartin Thanks

WyattHarris Yeah, not for small children that show, hehe. Thanks btw.

I haven’t had the time to update him today, mostly just done some more research.

#16

exactly why I liked the show. I remember an episode where an entire army was trampled by an avalanche.

#17

I have been looking for some decent shoe references to Jonnys shoes, but I didn’t find anygood ones, and the series isn’t that well drawn :P, so I manipulated a photo (upper left picture) to make this side view that I’m going to use as a guide:

#18

Great looking face, keep up the good work- can’t wait to see the rest of the costume take form.

#19

looks great! I don’t remember the show myself, but I was born in the 80’s so that could be why :smiley:
