Hey Remi best of luck mate!

Sir Castro, how goes it man? Long time no talk. Perhaps we should catch up with each other again at Sig if you’re going. Thanks for having a look. Hope I can get this bad boy done. It’s a lot of work and time. I’m super jazzed about this one though. Are you entered?

Tyson, Thanks a ton. I’ll have to keep focused, family and work and this, that’s something to juggle. I’ll get in and have a look at your stuff in the morning tomorrow. I’m sure it’ll be great!!! Thanks for looking!!!

#8

Indeed I am. Many say it can’t be done, but i’m just gonna have fun trying to make it happen. And seeing you entered gives me a boost to try even harder. Trying to keep pace with Tyson will be fun too :wink: I have a reserved thread, but nothing on there yet, so i’m a bit behind already, but i should have something to post soon. I’ll catch up with you later buddy.

Trying to come up with a look, I guess i’d like it to have a 50’s’ish cartoony look. Any feedback is appreciated greatly. I’m going to be adding some bushes in the trees to break it up and some rocks in the water line. I’ll throw some junk around the shop and I’d like to populate the hills in the background with some trees as well.

#10

I agree about ‘50’s’ish cartoony look’ too! nice idea and I like it alot! but I preffer some sharpen colors for it, it dosn’t look happy enough with these colors;
Btw good way you’re going on, goodluck man.

mim,

#11

Thanks mim, I will work on the colors a bit. I too think it’s missing something. Once if fill in some of the dead areas I hope it will look a little better. I will work on it though, thanks for the comments.

#12

So i’ve add some things to the scene and I think i’m going to move on and start on the many other things I need to take care of. Feel free to leave your comments, i’ll get to them if I have time. I’ve gotten some suggestions to make it concrete under the shop and a road/driveway into the shop. I like the idea, but I think I can get by without that for now. If I have the time. I’ll add that in. Thanks for looking!!!

#13

Hi there! I like the ideea that you chose a cartoony style.The BG looks cool!Best of luck!:beer:

#14

Just the beginning. I’m not really going off of my concept sketch. I’ve got something else in mind. But i’m going to be adding some details to this here and then working on the head. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks for looking!!!

Thanks adib, I’ll try and get some more work done here in a hurry. I’ve got a potential job coming up, so my time will be limited, but I’m thinking I can get this done in time. Your stuff is looking great as well.:thumbsup:

#15

interesting idea, keep up the good work.

#16

Just some more work on him. I’d like to add some more details to him, not too many, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for looking!!!

#17

Need to paint some weights and add some details like a keychain later. I’m using a rigging script from
John Doublestein. Thanks for looking!!!

#18

What a great Rig, whats that script btw; and about details I’ll suggest a pocket in his jacket!

Gl, mim

#20

Hey Remi,

I love the style that you have going. It is minial, but has the possibility for a great deal of emotion.

I do have a suggestion on the environment, though. The Garage exterior that you have looks very 1960’s earth. Anything that you can do to increase the visual interest of the environment would only add to the piece, IMO. Even differentiating the trees to look more “alien” or adding stylistic changes to the garage structure to make it look slightly futuristic.

It looks great so far. When are we going to see storyboards / animatic? :slight_smile:
