Living Toons - Character - Clanger

#1

I’m posting my intention to enter before I come to my senses and chicken out. For me this challenge is the toughest yet.
Well here goes, gulp.

#2

Right I’ve always wanted to be Conan so I think I’ll go for that, he usally rides a horse but I fancy a dinosaur, hey it’s my fantasy.
So now all I have to do is make a characature of myself! Anyone got any links on how to do this?

#3

Oh no, I weeks gone by and I haven’t done anything! Better get going.
At least I don’t have to work on my head, I already look like a toon.

#4

lol, nice photoshoping. :smiley:

#5

It’s starting to look less and less like me, this is hard.

And how am I going to do thining hair without textures?

#6

Nice way of aproaching to get your head look cartoonish.
About the hear>>You can make stings or just moddel a mass and give it a collor and then add a bump map.

P.S.
I almost would say that your avatar would be a great Toon to represent you…

#7

Iguiniz.X I’ll give that a go thanks, as for the clanger avatar I quite liked the Clangers but in all honesty it was just the first thing that popped into my head when I was put on the spot while registering.

Virtuoso: Thanks for the vote of confidence, I’ll try and live up to it.

Update:
Finally started modelling, I thought this a good project to try Wiro’s box modeling tutorial on, so far I like it.

#9

Great start,

i like the style you choosed :thumbsup:

Is it your first head?

Looking forward to see more:)

KoRn_ART: I have done a few heads, never totally finished one mind, this is the first time I’ve used a box modeling technique though.

Update:

#11

Well It’s looking like you have a handle on box modeling already. Looking very good and clean. Great way to start out by warping your picture :scream:

#12

Ingram: I’ve taken an instant liking to box modeling heads thanks largely to Wiro’s tutorial. Bending things in Photoshop seemed a lot easier than trying to do it properly, not as good results I’m sure but it’ll do.

should have some time tonight so update later.

#13

oh Box modelling is really hard … can’t do this :surprised:

The latest update an your concept picture reminds me on … hehe please dont punch me … Mr. Bean :wink:

#14

KoRn_ART: I keep going on about it but Wiro’s tutorial took the pain out of learning box modeling , I’d recommend giving it a go no matter what your app. is.
Yes I can see a bit of Mr. Bean there as well, hopefully now I’ve strenghtened the jaw line it’s not so noticeable, I am finding making it look like me extremely difficult.

Update:

#15

:wink: Keep going man…What a nose!!!:wavey:

#16

DimitrisLiatsos: Yeah, my best feature. Big is beautiful.

I’ve ear marked tonight some more modeling time but this weekend I bought a book on art by Biz and went to an Alice Cooper concert so I can’t be held responsible if it starts evolving in to something very strange.

#17

Small update, complete with new barnet.

#18

Looking Good Man- Keep Going!!! :thumbsup:
