Living Toons - Character- Hickory2.5

#1

Here we go again. I have a little more time so lets have some fun. I think I am going to start off with the toon version of one of my favorite items in the whole world. Usually if you are around me it is there as well.

why does that bowl have two straws mummy?

#3

Those aren’t straws, they are arms…er…at least I think the arms are what you are talking about…er…anyway, I am really hoping to get alot done tonight. Its Friday, I ain’t got no job, and I ain’t got nowhere to go…only one thing left to do…

#4

Whats up Hickory :wink:

#5

What up Toby Wong…? Life treating you well?

#6

A quick shot of some progresss…going for the general shape…

#7

Not really pleased with this so far…Quickly my 2nd favorite thing to do is becoming my new favorite thing to do, because I am not pleased…but…I guess I should just be patient and start fresh tomorrow and see what happens…until them…3 lame views of my favorite object being poorly converted into a toon…

Look at the wee flimsy arms…Might as well start concepting me…

#8

Nice way to incorporate your hobby into the project!:stuck_out_tongue:

#9

Not bad :smiley: takin it easy, you know.

Nice entry btw. You going to make a crazy glass shader for yourself ?

hehe sorry bad joke
in my opinion the 3d is looking too uniform, you sketch had a nice distinct exaggeration to it, try to incorporate that

#11

! ! ! ! ! !

#12

I think I am going to use the base of what I have to start exagerating it a little more…

Tobywong- Well I would like to a really cool glass shader…you have provided mucho help in the past with a shader or 2 of mine…any suggestions?

#13

Here is some progress. I lost the tube type arms and adjusted where the arms will eventually be. Stretched and deformed the proportions and started to shape the eye area. I will post a real picture of the object when I get a chance, for now though, the update.

#14

Here is the actual picture of my favorite object. Its a 19" water pipe purchased in Berkley.

#15

Some mo…

#16

Working on Arms…Hands soon…

#17

Hands are done, going to post a simple render and then to bed…Anyone know if the public beta of Mental Ray renders Subdivision Surfaces in Maya?

I am alot happier with my progress today…

#18

#19

Looks good man. Reminds me of the candle character in Beauty and the Beast. ,…doh!

#20

mtmckinley- thanks they took a little bit to do…

smfjerset- I actually watched that movie before I started the challenge to kinda get ideas on how to make an object toonish. Lumiere was actually the character I studied most.

Well, another day, time to play.
