thank you dobermunk, i’ll try it but for now i’m ok with my progress. doesn’t fit the draft but it is going on. but…for i like the draft i will fight as long as necessary to create another moshpit-maniac model really following the idea.
well, here is another update:
i’m infected. i’m infected! waaah i really like modelling!
i’m so excited how practicing makes me becoming a better cg artist (?).
here we can see a part of the back-pack the moshpit-maniac (metal :buttrock: ) will carry around.
how would you improve the shoes? i do not like the military look of it. hmm.:shrug:
update! rendered in c4d-demo because c4d6 has no radiosity (will buy v8 very soon).
now coms the hand…oh nooo…:eek:
what’s up guys…do you like it?:shrug:
this contest is a real treasure! i’m learning every hour of modeling my character.
i’ve never been in bones and weighting before and as i’m doing it i see that it is relatively easy! i want to thank korn-art for his encouragement and help. :wavey:
so here is my first hand-model ever…needs some tweakin, yes. how must the thumb be attached to the hand? on the downside? hmmm. ?
update of the hand…not that easy. little tweaking and i’m satisfied, for now. what do you tink?
another update.
new head:
enhanced backpack:
i’m worrying about missing the challenge-topic and i’ve to admit that i missunderstood the announcement of it. would you agree that i should remove the existing head and createone that looks like me? please gimme some feedback on that…:hmm:
The problem is easily solved, if you put a monitor or TFT display in there. Use a BW pic of your face (tweak it in photoshop -liquify - to get a more exagerated/comic look) and use it as displacement map. Would make for a futuristic 3D display.
Good work, your character concept is really good!
how about some facial gestures ??
keep it up!
here is the concept of the base facial expression.
@pit: yes, that sounds good! i’ll try something like this.
@balazs: thank you! i’m working on a face.
:wavey:
hi cgtalkers!
i’m very disquiet after reading a critic on my robot in another forum. i was told that maybe i’m not as good in modeling as cgtalk may require it.
sorry for bothering you with my sorrow but if you think i should leave the challenge, please tell me! i do not want to destroy the high quality of this thread!
:shrug: :shrug:
Hi sad. I don’t know what the critic said but i urge you to keep going!
When i was reading your entry page, with each update you had more passion and excitement evident in what you were writing and also in your character.
Do not let comments or criticism affect that. IF it was construtive criticism then we have to accept it. Anything that was not constructive does not belong here.
Keep it up sad, your style is very unique and i personally love it. You pay attention to detail and yet it is stylized. I can’t wait to see the finished product sad! Keep going buddy!!!
I’m very serious!
Hi sad,
I’ve really impressed about your work. Your style seems very authentic to me. I’m waiting for more… 
People may critize your skill, you may accept some of it. But your imagination never be had influenced by your feasibility. BTW creativity will rise in course of time even you’re No.1…
Don’t give up 
PS: Sorry for my english.:rolleyes:
Hi,
great cartoon so far. :bounce:
The last concept looks like Billy Milano (Lead Vocals S.O.D.) after a meeting with a vice. 
go on and finish your Moshpit Maniac
cu
how about some music? the guitar maniac will play his riffs. a gibson les paul SG (great styled guitar!)
:airguitar
Cool guitar Sad! Your character is going to be playin on that?
If so perhaps you can make it styled like your character. Almost, futuristic ??
Pretty cool though. How about song strings?
:o)
and it fits to your style
