(funny thing, do you mean that serious?)

#4

What you talkin aboot Willis? Come on Dude get some pens to paper n get some Ideas postedā€¦ and maybe I am serious maybe I am notā€¦ and maybe its a selfportrait!!! I did have another idea last night after my nightcap but it turned out to be rubbish upon review in the morrowā€¦

#5

Hummmā€¦ It was meant to be a joke at first but i kinda ran with the ideaā€¦ and lookin at all the sci fi i wanted to do somat different just for laughsā€¦

#6

I like this type of funny concepts!

and your sketch is my favorite, is very simple but so funnyā€¦

maybe you can put total atention in the texture and ilumination work.

keep workingā€¦and good luck!

:thumbsup:

I like the silly, as well. I need to know more, tho. What are the battery worms and why do they have to jumpstart each other?

#8

Here is the start of the modeling processā€¦ shouldnā€™t be too taxingā€¦

#9

Here is the start of the modeling processā€¦

#10

Here is the start of the modeling processā€¦ Should be a test render soon

#11

Just a quick render to check out how heā€™s lookin from the angle i will be needingā€¦ Lots of work and improvements to comeā€¦

#12

Cute lil fella. :slight_smile:
Wonder what youā€™ll do to him?
:thumbsup:

#13

Heā€™s gona be jumpstartedā€¦ cos heā€™s feelin a bit flatā€¦! Nothin sordid!

#14

Very good so far! This is definantly going to have the beauty of a PIXAR film scene.
Canā€™t to see more.

#15

Simple and efficient, wich is all a great image needs.
Iā€™m going to follow your thread, your worm have so much personality !

Keep it up !

#16

I really like the clean and cute look of this image, itā€™s a brave change from the dark and very complex detailed look that most others are going for.

One crit I would have though is that it currently seems like a sort of editorial picture accompanying an article in a magazine. I think the picture may need some sort of story, purpose, reason or twist to enable the image to be able to stand alone as an artwork.

From what youā€™ve said in your posts Iā€™m probably jumping the gun as it seems like youā€™re going to put him in a farm like a battery hen which will make it more of an artwork and less of an illustration.

Anyway, I hope you get what I mean, either way heā€™s a great little character and I look forward to seeing more.

Hi nitroSqueel.

Thanks for the comments, I am interested in your concepts of an ā€œIllustrationā€ and ā€œArtwork?ā€ā€¦ If you could expand on what you may have meanā€™t that would be greatā€¦ and if anyone else can shed light on the concepts of Illustration/Artworks/Pictures/Drawings/Visualisation and what should qualify for either i think we could have a classic debate ultimately ending in a quibble over semanticsā€¦ Which always makes a good thread:D

#18

Thanks for the happiness:bounce:

something whatā€™s not in ā€œhorror styleā€.
cute thing.

#19

nice work, i like the style cool!! some background story would help tho,
good luck for the comp!

I think youā€™re probably right and itā€™s best not to go there!

Hows about this though: It possibly looks more like a frame from an animation than a stand alone still. A stand alone still (an artwork) tells a story in itself, whereas a frame from an animation may stand alone aesthetically but it ultimatley needs the rest of the film to have a purpose.:wink:

Your character looks really cool but it might be even cooler with a back-story drawn into the image around him.

( btw Iā€™m personally in the illustraton rather than art camp when it comes to my own stuff)
