That my friend ,is turning out super cool! I would define the palm more,separating it from the rest of the arm…anywayz…are you really 21?:eek:

#42

Thanks, Cgkoko. :slight_smile:

And, yes, I’m 21. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll be 22 this December, though. lol

I’ve got the hands pretty fleshed out! :slight_smile: I’m pretty happy with them. I know the wrists are… well, non-existant, but remember back in my body concept drawing? That’s kinda what I’m going for. If it doesn’t work though, I can always change it. :stuck_out_tongue:

#44

Sweet! Sweet! I love it! :bounce:

#45

Thanks, Ingram! :smiley:

Here’s a better view of the hands:

And here’s a low-poly render that I thought looked pretty interesting:

#46

Starting the legs. I switched to a red shirt since I usually wear blue jeans… I’m thinking you lose some of the details in the red, though. Any color suggestions?

#47

Here’s a couple of views. :slight_smile: Comments are always welcome!

#48

I managed to scrounge up an old pic of me. It was a while ago, so my beard hadn’t grown in yet. :stuck_out_tongue: The inset is the pic from my current driver’s liscense.

great modelling!! i like the proportions…especially the forearms

color suggestions? how about red checkerd shirt… hehe

#50

this is really coming along nicely. I like the hands a lot…but are you really that ripped? :wink: The wrinkles in the shirt look great too. One other thing is that your glasses look strange with that blue tint in the lense. Are they tinted blue in real life? If you want the lenses to show up just put something to reflect in the scene and raytrace the lenses

#51

Yeah looks good but I swear I saw those arms somewhere? hymm :slight_smile: I know where! Looks like this guys fore arms :slight_smile: hehe nice referance eh :slight_smile:

Very nicely done. I am really enjoying the development of your cartoon self. What are you using to produce the renders? Is it final gathering or GI or huh?

#53

levin - Thanks! I’ll give it a try. :slight_smile:

Rye - lol, I used to be pretty strong back in my old American Football days. Haven’t really focused on working out since then. I just thought this would be a fun exaggeration and contrast to the ol’ mid-section. :smiley:

You’re right about the tint. I’ll tone that down.

MDB101 - I actually didn’t use any reference, other than my own drawing for this guy, but that ogre model is pretty sweet! :slight_smile: The idea of the “no wrists” thing came from a comic book artist I had seen way back when. I don’t remember who it was, but it stuck with me as being unique and cool looking. This is the first time I thought I’d go for it.

Hickory2.5 - Thanks! I’m using the GIJoe MEL script for the lighting. :slight_smile:

#54

Anybody have any ideas on how to do hair on the arms? :smiley:

#55

Oh U GreaT!..VERY COOL!NIce style…superb modeling and sweet rendering! I love the lowpoly render a lot!

#56

Very cool man! I love the unique style of your model. Suggestions for the arm hair…hummm…you could use three sided cylinders as the hairs and wrap them around the top of the arm. :shrug: Keep the updates comin!

#57

wicked mike… keep it up! :slight_smile:

#58

-OZ- - Thanks, man. :slight_smile: I like that one too. Has an interesting look to it.

Chad-D - Thanks! Yeah, I’ll experiment with the arm hair. Equinox looks like he’s using that method with success. I’ll see if it works ok for mine. :slight_smile:

Roman - Thanks! :smiley:

#59

Haha, looking very cool.

I love the shirt and the buttons.

What is he going to be doing?

#60

Thanks, Carina!

I’ve been thinking about the hobby. I was thinking of having him be like a super hero or something, since I’m into comics, but now I’m not too sure.

Can’t be with the computer… then there’s the obligatory drawing… maybe have him sleeping or watching a movie. Pehaps in an empty theatre! That could be cool… have with with a big box of popcorn and a soda or something…

Still thinking about it. :slight_smile:
