Here it is..I still have to rig it!

I think I'll stick with the "Two arms, non-realistic" style

This is the other option

Alright..here's the start of the bee. Got a question, though. Should I give it the same style of eyes as the flower? I suddenly feel that the the bee looks too realistic compared the the rest of the scene

Sweet rig! see, dynamic constraints are sweet!! That's a great idea to use them in this type of a situation with a doll...Thanks for sharing

Ok..I want to cut down on render times...how is this for a grass plain instead of hair? Or what would be a good way to simulate the blades without the use of hair?

Orange would be crazy! I'll try that one..thanks for the tips on the eyes... I actually caught that one before you

Whoops forgot about the pic...by the way, i finished texturing except for the UNIBROW. What color should I make it...white doesn't look good. Would black be fine?

Decided to hold back on texturing and improve my rig..this is a basic pose I have right now... tell me what expression you see in this? Should I add eyes to the guy?

Yeah! They're great! Right now I"m about to texture my flower....so it looks nice and pretty

Alright..here's a dynamics test...the default settings give me just what I want...I also have a pose for dynamics on/off. This will be helpful for when I have parts in which I want to completely control the petals without trouble.... dynamics_test_flower.mov

I tweaked the leaf a bit...check it out..I examined some pictures of real flower leaves and noticed they have a larger bowl shape

Alright...I finally pretty much finished rigging and modeling the basics of my flower....look at the rig! I'm using dynamic constraints for each petal to cut down on the animation work time. Plot: basically a flower gets aggrovated because of a bee that keeps flying around it and is doing a whole bunch of annoying stuff (I get the ideas of that stuff from what I do to others )

Ken, in your first animation test for the hopping loon, (you probably already caught this) you should create the movement of the massive belly after landing. It looks like a solid block of rock now, but you need to make it jiggle like jelly as a restult of the hop

Good concept, but the only flaw I found was that the walk was a bit too fast. The bunny walks about 1/2 as slow

1) Right now, the body looks a bit vague...if you add hair, it will be sure to attract attention 2)Teeth would be crucial for this 3)Yes..eyelids add a great deal of personality Character is great though!

I apologize if I sound headstrong, but the main message I want to get across is that my hip hop revolves around God. That's why I created the twist around the cross...

whoa...easy peasy! Thanks a lot, Colin! Should i put a natural wood texture on it (it'd match the cross much more

I'll go with the thorns idea...the only problem is that I don't have sweeper...I only have the demo..but I have like 10 groups. So I can't use it..maybe I'll do it by hand....

Hmmm.....the reason I posted up this image was to ask about the actual graphic..not about what I'm doing it for...if you had no idea what this was for...tell me what you would say.

hmmm...you must've typed that post when I posted up my latest picture. You can see I kinda blended in the microphone with that time... the point of this image is Surrealism. That's a topic that has been talked about for awhile...you wouldn't have a microphone around an ancient cross..that's the whole point of it...it grabs the eye...if you have a basic picture of a cross with nails...it's like "what a weak rapper that guy is..."...but with this surrealism incorporated into the image, they people will think "whoa..this guy is crazy! I gotta check his stuff out!"

ok..I made the stone texture part of the neck of the mic too

I don't think the cross gives the gothic impression with the nails if you know why they're there...the microphone I already am fixing... EDIT: let me explain some more...the point of the picture is to say "See, the awesome power of God can be incorporated in hip hop." in a "hardcore" way..

Well, the microphone is very crucial in this design..should I just add more detail to the microphone?

I'm into rapping (if some of you didn't know) and I've decied to use AM to make the cover image...here it is so far...how could I blend the microphone in so it has the same detail as the rest of the model? Make it more realistic?
