Wheehoo! This one should be fun. Real drive to finish now; If I don’t finish I won’t be complete.
Quick concept of me. hehe
weird: showing as link instead of image. oh well 
Aussie type hat is because it’s my R/C Flying hat. My hobbie is flying remote control airplanes. So get to model me, airplane, all kinds of little tools, and support stuff. Wheeeeeeeee!
That looks really cool 
…and nice hobby to include in your caricature, looking forward to seeing the progress!
Thanks Nightwing I thought so as well.
Here’s a pic I just made at during lunch with a high angle view to try composition out. Also some rough model sheets for my airplane.
Sorry for the picture no scanner at work :shrug: Will have to clean it up once I get home.
(And for those who would ask, that is supposed to be an antenna)
edit: to fix link to cleaned up picture
Started to put some 3d to myself last night. Still working with it to get loops sorted with the beard. Hat is of course temp.
Edit:oops my image is lost, fixing…
Edit the 2nd: fixed
how did i miss this one.
I really like the remote control!
This is a great character. Square fingers rock!!!
Oh and by the way i can’t see the image at the bottom, so get fixin cause i wanna see the model!
nice characiture, and great hobby! I always wanted to fly model airplanes. That antenna…woah. :eek: some sort of symbolism there?
Thanks much guys for the feedback! 
Worked a few hours on the plane to get it started.
Turning out better than I’d hoped. Mad props to you all for the skills I pick up here :buttrock:
Plane looses something without the textures. Has lots of cool sponsorship stuff down the side. like this one…
I’ll have to add some more color to make up for it
Damn… R/C may be my hobby but 3D is my addiction.
Had to add the stripes tonight. So I made a wire
Working mesh to the front, smoothed to the back.
Hey the plane looks great! Definitely looks better with the stipes, you know you could always make all those adverts using geometry. :eek:
Yep I could do that Rye, but that would cause my head to explode. I might simplify a few and model them if time permits.
Should get back to making myself so I might as well post my ugly mug in here for checkin against me toonself. Old picture with less beard, hair, and fat than my current incarnation. hehehe
Yes! May the League of Extraordinary Beards unite! lol
Great plane, man! Looking forward to more!
It’s looking very cool, I would almost have preferred him wearing the cap like you do in the picture, rather than a hat;)
Still, looking good! Love the plane!
mtmckinley: For truth, justice, and the right to bear cleaning supplies! 
Carina: Saw a bunch of baseball caps on other people already. Also in my hobby baseball caps don’t really do a great job of blocking the sun out of the corner of your eye when your watching a plane wizz around the sky.
Small update: have some clothes and a neck. Damn I have a tough time doing ears. They need a bit o’ work.
Also need to get started on an enviroment. Hoping for perfect flying conditions; Green grass, blue sky, puffy white clouds, and little or no wind. hehehe
:bounce: haha…U should make him bite his tongue when his is flying the plane…or…or fly the plane on your character and make it chase him …lol
cool …the first air plane modeler in this challenge …i think!!!
Yes! the perfect expression of deep concentration. I’ll have to try that. Thanks very much. :applause:
Actually was thinking of an animation where he is so smooth and in control he’s doing tricks with the plane like looping around him and jumping over it like a jumprope, cutting a strand of grass from his hand, or hovering on the propeller inches off the ground while dancing a jig. :drool: hehehe.
The best laid plans of mice and men…
Small update. Some tools and dodads to put in the background
Along with astro-turf that will probably become my grassy flying field. My arm for some textures… 
la de da hopefully more progress tommorow.
Update on the body:
In a moment of time saving thought I chose to go with a Simpsons-esque 3 finger hand.
Whoa gotta rush now. Have to make this the first challenge I acually finish.
Haha, Yup, I think my baby blues look too big cause they have no lids yet :eek: Soon to be remedied.
Was kinda fighting with some rigging tonight so I can start to get everything in the enviro in the next couple of days.
