One cute gyu for you

[trajcedrv]

Here is little something I found out looking through my hard drive.

 

For obvious reasons his name is Mikke Musse

 

This is 30's version of the character that I really like, except for the eyes whish have lids...

 

This character was made as modeling and constraining exercise, He has old rig inside him, and dos not have phonemes or other muscle poses, you will have to pull the constraints slider to constrain him...

 

I Hope that you'll like Mike

 

I would be very glad to see if anyone comes out with something funny and cute with him, and if someone decides to pop in TSM 2 rig inside, I wouldn't mind to have it for playing.

 

Here it is (MDL)

And Avi made from it (DivX) - please do not try to reflect upon the quality of the animation, I know that it sucks

Hey! Thanks much.

I've put off modeling Mike for years now... and well... now I may not really need to thanks to you.

 

I have a soft spot for the old guy and in particular the old comic strips.

I've always thought that using scenes from the old comics would be great animation practice.

 

I still do.

 

Thanks again.

Good job. Someone was looking for a "similar form" a while ago.

I played around with the toon line but never got it the way I like... more experimenting needed...

 

I must say though... the toon look on Mike is rather good!

 

The following two images are from the last frame of the Choreography.

A:M Old Film, blur etc used with just a little touch up in photopaint to get rid of some little blue specks...

Cool!!!

 

I never thought to make toon render of Mikke...

 

Looks kinda old cartoon-ish

 

Thanks!

BUMP (Because people like cute/cool models)

 

It'd be a great project to rig some of these old guys with the Squetch Rig if anyone would like to learn rigging. It'd also count for completing Exercise 13 in The Art of Animation:Master.

Note: As the first attachment appears broken you'll have to download the project file and save the model out from there. At least until the link is fixed.

HEY Thanks for pulling my character out!

 

I have it already squetch - rigged... Unfortunately, I am stuck with older A:M version, so I had to use older squetch rig... I'll iron out some glitches and post it here... unless life gets in a way (as it does a lot lately)
