bentllama: You’ll have to wait until next year now, the national finals are coming up, which need to be qualified for!:smiley:

mrmark: You read my mind… I’m going to do something just like that.

Samaurai tea drinking…hmm…you could make an entire mocie based off tea ninja’s…they always fight with a cup of tea in there in hand! Sipping ever so carefully whilst doing full on karate kicks and flips with nun-chucks and such…

heeh rambled sorry…:slight_smile:

Good Luck!!

hehe I love the character thus far…got that wacky anime look.

As for traditional martial arts, I have only seen them in tournaments. But I can say in all honesty wing chun was pretty much made for street fights. I have only had to use it once tho.

I want to learn monkey style, just cause it looks so damn cool!

exactly! I was thinking the same :smiley:

a bit like ninjai, but instead he’s always seen with a cup of tea in his hand, and sips it very gentle and controlled while kicking serious ass! :scream:

ow, something else poped into my head :smiley: He should have little bags attached to his belt with all kind of herbs in it, and he can’t smile, always looks serious. :smiley:

damn i’m getting all worked up :smiley:

Hey, you guys keep bringing out cool ideas! I may have to make a short tv series or something!:smiley:

Wing Chun is very practical, yes! A good strong style. When our website comes up I’ll have to show you my style. We’ll be doing some interactive 3d demonstrations on the site in shockwave 3d.

I want to learn monkey style, just cause it looks so damn cool!

Monkey style is really dangerous! Not good in a street situation, because more often than not, you’ll be the one ending up in jail. Quite vicious! But yes, I agee, very cool looking style.:wip:

Thanks for all the comments so far guys, I may get some 3D going soon!

oooo you could call “tea kwon doe”!!!

Here we go! Some head work going down. He looks a bit serious and un-anime at the moment, but it’s early days!:smiley:

KingMob-

And a wire…

Dang it! I left my head at work!
Now you will have to contend with the awesome might that is my headless body.:smiley:

#32

And some hands. You can’t drink tea easily without 'em!:smiley: (Straws are painful).

#33

I tried some toes. I do not think I like toes on my character. Not because these ones look bad, but because I like the look of the spadey foot. I think my character is going to be wearing boots. I like boots… maybe some of those two-toed ninja boots!:smiley:

#34

one advice for the head : I think that U should make the face around the mouth, with the same “maner” as U done around the eyes, it can look better.

go on ! go on ! :wip:

#35

Thanks YoGoLo! The head will be a heavy piece of work, I think, because modelling facial features I’m still learning (thanks Wiro!) and I’m also trying to achieve an anime sort of look. I’m still working on that mouth!:smiley:

Heya erilaz, got some suggestions for ya on the head…

It’s good that this is still in the early stages or this would be a pain later…

  • The red circled area is a lil to dense, you might be able to get away with removing 1 edge loop 2 at most

  • The blue circles will be problem areas later when it comes to animation, just remove an edge or two and place them a more flowing position like that half purple circle

  • the circles with the arrows are just a couple of suggestions to minimize that stretchy feel you’ll get from a final render.

As with all modeling try your best to keep a nice continuous flow in the cage.

my two pence :slight_smile:

Hand shaping… I’m going to have to check my extensive references for a decent anime-esque skin colour!:bounce:

#38

Heya erilaz, got some suggestions for ya on the head…

Wow! That’s one heck of a lot of good tips LilDragon! That’s great. Thanks very much! (I must have missed your post while putting up my hand work). Very appreciated.

As I said, the head is not my strongest area, so I may rework it a few times. This sort of feedback is just what I need.:wip:

Thanks again!:bounce:

#39

Starting to fix up those areas now (still pointy in the mouth)… I won’t be able to work more on the head until tomorrow. Did anyone have comments about the body so far?:smiley:

Eye enlargement for anime look. Still lots to work on before it looks remotely good!:wip:
