Living toons - Character - Maxx


#1

I tried to enter one of the challenges earlier - got as far as posting a concept when work got crazy busy… Hopefully I’ll have time to at least model this one, 'cause it sounds like fun!

Anyway, here’s a quick sketch of my caricature - yes, I’m much older (physically) than pictured. But I refuse to grow up. dammit.

Anyway, I’m either gonna end up surfing or laughing at goats. Not sure which yet.

About 2 hours work so far - Just pretty much trying to flesh stuff out. I decided to go with the surfing idea, tho’ I may try to find a way to put a goat in there somewhere. Anyway, comments and critiques are well appreciated.

Here’s a shot of the back…

The front…

And the side.

Changed the upper body and put everything into a pose - fleshing things out slowly. I know I’ve got issues in that you can see through the trunks leg and the eyes are flesh colored. That’s work for this evening.

Obviously, rigging and posing are not my strong suits, so seriously - any advice/comments would be appreciated. Things like weird kinks in the skin, odd shapes, whether or not it’s working so far, etc. Let me know if it would be easier to see from a different angle.

And by the way - I know we’re not allowed to use textures of any sort in the final render. Does that include vertex coloring? I assume it does, but you never know, so I thought I’d ask.

Thanks.
