hey the brown shoe works… :thumbsup:

much better :beer:

#84

nice work man… those shoes blend right in… :thumbsup:

#85

Thanks, guys! :slight_smile:

Working on facial poses now…

As of now, I’m thinking of going with the cleaning conundrum as my “hobby” and environment being in the kitchen next to the open dish washer… :slight_smile: Any thoughts on that idea? Or would the super hero be better?

#86

Hey, this looks great. :thumbsup:
Great update and I like the progress.

But can’t you smooth’n the beard a little? It looks a bit straight around the chin area…
And the upper lip looks exactly like your lower one, but that could be just you. Expression is cool.
Cloth wrinkles are great.

Keep going.

Cheers.

I think a lumberjack style would be great …with some beers around and a big axe or chainsaw …lol…(just an idea)

Cool shirt color.

:bounce:

Woohoo, I knew those brown shoes would work!
Lookin good.

Thanks, DBZ! They take FOREVER to put in. lol

Yeah, tell me about it… The folds in my model’s pants are keeping me up all night! You’ve pulled em off very nicely.

Edge - Sorry, forgot to turn that option on. :slight_smile:

DimitrisLiatsos - That would be cool, but it wouldn’t be me at all. lol

DivideByZero - Thanks! :slight_smile:

Here’s a little progress on the facial poses… I know you guys are getting tired of my little updates, so I’ll give it a rest for now. Hopefully my next update will be some sketches working on the environment and hobby. :slight_smile:

#90

this is coming along really great! I like the facial expression. Maybe you could have yourself dancing with a broom and a mop. But i also like the whole super hero thing. Maybe with a cape and bucket and rubber gloves…:slight_smile:

A neat shot would be (from an ants perspective) of you on your knees picking up the last peice of dust on the ground. squinting real hard to try and see it.

hehehe

just my 0.2 cents…:slight_smile:

#91

Ok, the NEXT update will be sketches. lol I made this pic to put at the Challenge site, so I figured I’d post it here, too.

Here’s hi-res: www.mtmckinley.net/cg_toon43hi.jpg

Just a few minor tweaks, more facial expression work (not shown) and I put some refraction on the glasses lenses.

The only thing really left on the model is inside of the mouth and a wrist watch. I think I’ll get to those later.

For now, I’ve decided to do a befuddling cleaning scenario… I’ll be trying to wash dishes, vaccum, scrub counters, etc at same time while my dog sits in front of me with his dish out, begging to be fed. :slight_smile: I’ll have some sort of disgusted look on my face. lol

#92

Thanks for the comments, Dur23! I’ll keep your suggestions in mind… on to the sketches! :smiley:

#93

Very nice character, lots of personnality, you really did one great job there.

I’m impatient to see more of it :smiley:

#94

Thanks, Baal. :slight_smile:

Here’s my first sketch… kinda rough, but I hope you can tell what’s going on. lol

#95

OMG are you cleaning? :eek:

#96

yep, that’s the idea. :slight_smile:

I do it so much, by now it MUST be a hobby. lol

#97

wicked char mike… the scene will probably look funny as hell… i can already imagine it… hehe… :smiley:

#98

here’s an idea I sketched real quickly. :smiley:

#99

Oh my that’s turned out wonderful. Can’t wait for the scene.
“Windex senses tingling. Somewhere dirt and grime are afoot… Super Cleanin’ Dude, Away!” :bounce:

Thanks, Ingram. :slight_smile: Yours is coming along nicely as well. :smiley:

Here’s a small update… I didn’t get all that much done today.

I’m thinking of only his left hand be wearing a glove, holding a dish, as his other hand will be vaccuming. :slight_smile:
